Default Lowering shock for nnbs?

What shocks are you guys running on your lowered trucks.Currently i am a 5/9 drop and have belltech street performance shocks and they seem to bottom out.Should i just get shick extenders or some toxic shocks.

Fronts or rears? I have the BellTech strut up front, and run a Doestch Tech shock in the rear, no complaints. I called DT, and told them what I have, and they sent me the shocks, they didn't come up on their website.

I lowerd the rear more by using shackle on 8" setting and put stock block back in,thought id do it now so when i do the front in the few days its less i have to do.I will give DT a call thats what sport truck direct recommended too but i am open for suggestions,wish bilstein had a good handling shock for the rear.
