I see belltech offers the street performance shocks with different drop ratings but I see people say they still use shock extenders for the rear and front. Others say they use it only for OEM shocks and hear that KYB shocks are the best.. If that’s the case, I’ll be ordering the front and rear shocks extenders from western chassis but I like to hear what others are doing. I want the best shock ride and get a way from the c notch. Thanks!

Shocks won't have much impact on "getting away from a c-notch". You either need one or you don't. When doing a flip-kit, the number of leafs in the leaf spring pack is more of a determining factor.

Drop shocks can work if the valving is correct for the application.
Stock length shocks offer more travel which usually yields a better ride quality (the longer the shock & spring, the better the ride usually is). Relocation brackets are typically used to keep the shock geometry in check as well as restore some travel length when using a stock replacement shock.
