What shocks for 3/5 or 4/6 drop?

Think I have just about everything lined up to start on a chassis but shocks. What shocks are you guys running? Static drop, Daily Driver, No Towing...just some smooth riding shocks wanted.

There are many opinions out there on shocks to use with static drops but I used Brothers Truck Parts drop shocks for both front and rear with Hotchkiss drop springs and the ride is firm but I think is better than the stock height ride and the handling such as cornering is better. Also wheel size is a factor in ride quality as I have 15 inch wheels with TA tires. Good luck with your selection and I am sure other members will have ideas for you also.
