time for new shocks

well today my factory 00 shocks died. the rear of my truck bounces like a ghetto sled over humps in the road. now which shocks should i go for. since i have hotchkis leafs and the $$$ is good should i go with the hotchkis/bilstein shocks? or should i spend lots of money on QA1s. it just seems like some have had quality issues with the Qa1s and for that kind of money they should last for the life of the truck. truck is used for auto-x/open track events and has ruslow 1200 coil springs in the front. help please

Strange Engineering 10 way adjustable shock.

With the turn of a dial you can adjust the dampening from real stiff to real soft.

Best part? $120/PAIR delivered. they are $60/piece.

Bad part, the rear of your lightning should be lowered about 2 inches.
