Drops Shocks or Shock Extenders on 4" drop (87 half ton)

As the title says, what would you guys go for? Shock extenders, or a drop shock? I will be dropping front/rear 4". Yeah, I like the stink-bug look.

Right now, I'm leaning towards the shock extenders, since that gives a little more shock travel (since you are using the longer factory shock). Now, if I'm not mistaken, shock extenders also correct the shock angle back to factory, so they are less horizontal.

So, with those considered, why would I want to run drop shocks over shock extenders? Are there any downsides to the extenders that I am unaware of?
