Those of you that are lowered, what QUALITY shocks are you running?

I have fox shocks and love them because they are adjustable but if I were you I'd just hammer the inside of the fender lip back up into the wheel arch, take you all of 30 minutes and you'd gain the 1/2" you'd need. And if that's not enough roll the fenders, I have mine widened by 2" and you can't even tell. So much easier than tub'ing it. (although I also have my bed mini-tubbed too) 
I want to lower my truck ASAP with purple keys and a shackle kit but I am worried about the ride quality. Especially on stock shocks so I want to try to find a good option before I do anything.

I hated my SP's, I hated them on my stock truck and once again on my 2/4, rode like dick. Way too stiff.

I'll look into the KYB, what part number? Aren't you 4x4?

I don't want Oregon Trail wagon stiff, there is a happy medium...like I said, I had them on my stock truck-stiff, had them on 2/4-stiff, had them with the 2/5 and 2/6 (6" was pushing it on those shocks). These shocks ride a bit better, but over more extreme areas I bottom out. So I have not found that happy spot. Too stiff, too soft.
I've road in trucks the same height as mine that rode better. It's that, or I have some sort of freak of nature truck that just wants to ride like **** no matter what...
