Whats the best shock to use with air bags?
 
I have look at old posts back to 2003. There are tons of posts pertaining to a static drop, and older posts that say to go with a Blue Monroe shock with air bags. I don't think they make those anymore.

So, with the current 2018 market...air bag setup, frame on the ground, low ride height. What is the best to run?

The best quality? Probably the Ride Tech HQ Series shocks.
Here they are with bags (front shown): http://www.ridetech.com/products/coo...for-63-87-c10/

CPP gas shocks are affordable though. They work on my drop (4.5F/6R).

Thanks for the info, I checked and the ride techs are a little out of my price range. The CPP shocks look good. Anyone else, what are you using for your air bag set up?

There isn't one perfect shock as there are too many ways to bag your truck. Everything from pull the springs and stick whatever bags you have around to lay the frame trucks on 24" wheels. Too many different shock lengths not to mention ride preferences or budget.
