What kind of shocks are you running front and back?

Thanks for the replies.
Afco double adjustables ( with what they call Big Gun valving ). Sorry , not Santhuffs.
I just raised the ride height one hole on the floaters.......now the ladder bar is higher in the front and I get more separation , so I have to rethink the shocks........I did video and saw some things wrong.....which brings up another question.....if you LOWER the car you effectively put more "squat" in it.........which LOWERS the front of the bars ( because I have to raise the rear end on the floaters )....which I would assume plants the tires more...........OR , I can raise the ride height which RAISES the front of the bar "planting " the tires , also. I 'm not sure which is the best ( quickest) approach. Each direction requires different extension settings , apparently. Thoughts on that?
