Default Struts and shocks for dropped 2017

What's out there besides Belltech? I've never been a fan of their shocks...can't imagine their struts will impress me either.
Anything from QA1, Fox or similar?

I have always ran Monroe Reflex on my lowered trucks. I look at the dimensions of the stock replacement, then based on my lowering amount, go through their parts catalog and order shorter shocks/struts. Did that on my 3/5 lowered Superduty and it rode great. I currently have Monroe Reflex on my 07 F150 but the rear is just leveled with shackles and it rides great.

My preference is something with a billet body and adjustable. Not a fan of anything with a painted steel body.
I've had decent luck years ago with KYB on one of my F250's but the 2.5 Fox resis I have on my current one are a different league.

If I'm looking at things right, the ,McGaughys 2/4 drop kit uses a coil relocation bracket and rear shock extensions use OEM length struts and shocks. If that's the case I should be able to run either Fox 2.0 or 2.5 on both ends.
I need to get some collapsed and extended length info but this may be the ticket.
