which shocks should i purchase?

I just recently lowered my lightning with hotchkiss 1.5 in coils and hotchkiss 2.5 leafs with jlp shackles set on the 3 in hole. I am still using stock shocks and was wondering which one do you all recommend? im not interested in drag shocks cause i use my truck as a dd. thanks

To keep it simple I'd just drop in a set of Hotchkis spec blistiens.

I've got QA1's on mine and can adjust for DD or Drag Strip.

Why mix shocks? For a DD, I would use the Hotchkis Bilsteins all around.
