Default Rear shocks for 4/7 drop

I'm looking at buying a McGaughys kit within the next couple days.

It comes with Spindles, Front Strut Rings, Flip Kit, Lift Hangers/Bump Stops/Shock Extenders..

..of course I have to buy the rear shocks separate so I want the best quality. Which rear shocks are recommended to go as low as 7"?

I, and many others I've read, really enjoy the Belltech street performance shocks.

When my 18" Denali winter wheels are on it, damn close.

With my 22" wheels, it's a little harsh, but nothing I can't deal with.

The street performance bells are for 07 & 08 years only. Any clue as to why they wouldn't fit 07 and up?
