2/4 static lowering - Which shocks are you using?

My '96 is lowered 2 inches up front with DJM spindles. In the back, it was done using DJM shackles and hangers for 4-inches of drop.

My issue is to find the best-riding shock for this suspension. Originally, it had Toxic Shocks on all corners. Since then, I have replaced the rears with a couple different brands, but the ride is harsh. I'm thinking that the shocks are shot (no leakage) and just can't give me the ride I want. I talked to a guy at Bell Tech and he recommended theirs at $300 (approx) for a set of 4.

What're you using on yours? How do they ride? Do they bottom-out?

I'm tryin' to keep the bride happy.

My DD is lowered 5/6 but I am using doetsch shocks & am pleased.

My Dad's DD is lowered 2/4 but its been so long ago I'd have to look at it to see what shocks he has on it but it rides good. I can look over the holiday & see what his are.
