Default Shocks for a 3/5 help

So I am going to be ordering the DJM 3/5 kit, lower control arms for the front and flip kit and lift shackle for the rear.

Here is what I am torn between, in the past I have used Doetsch Tech shocks and they work great again though this was in the past. But I see DJM recommends Calmax Supershox for there drop kits.

Anyone able to chime in on which would be the better shock to be lowered 3/5, I chose this kit because it allows me to keep the same springs front and rear while it is stiff its not going to bounce my teeth out of my head.

I really have no experience with the shocks you mentioned but I really like how the bell tech street performance shocks ride and handle. Might want to consider some. I have used them on several trucks I have done and don't have any complaints at all.

It is a wide tire. Should be fine though with just a simple 2/4 drop.

I've tried searching but I cant find any info on DJM notches not being very good. This is the second time I have heard of this. What is the problem with there notches?
