I put a 2" rear drop on my truck, but later I took the spare out and put a roll pan in. This makes my truck look not level now. So I think i've decided to order a 3" rear drop. This sucks cause I need new shocks. Which shocks do you guys suggest? Belltech Nitro active, bilstein, doestch tech, edelbrock IAS, toxic? I also live on a freakin gravel road and all the roads around here suck.

I just installed some doestch tech on my truck's 4" rear drop. It made a nice difference. Truck rides very smooth now.

I've got a 2/4 drop on my truck with some Doestch Tech's up front and in the back. They ride good.

I have it narrowed down to Doestch Tech and Belltech Nitro Actives. How do these two compare?
