Default which lowering shocks

been awhile since i been on here because iv been playing with my ws6 for the last couple years, but now im ready to start playing with my truck again. im going to be doing a 3/5 drop with this kit (99-06 Silverado/Sierra 2wd 3&#34 - 5&#34 Drop Lowering Kit) but i need to know which shocks to use. this is a dd for my wife so it needs to ride as good as it can for a lowered truck or i will never hear the end of it. thanks

Belltech Street & Performance are nice shocks. Don't forget to buy shock extenders for the rear and/or relocate the shock mounts.

this is the only shock that's on belltechs website so can i get these for the rear and just use stock shocks up front? i also noticed that the above kit doesn't come with a c notch so i guess i will need one of those too.

I have always used Belltech shocks/struts and have good luck with them.
