Superflex HD rear with CBI Bumper Shock help

I need help. I have a 2014, with boss coilovers up front, shrockworks bumper. In the back i have Superflex HD springs and bilstein 5100 shocks with a CBI rear bumper with tire carrier.

I am very happy with the springs in the back, but the 5100's are simply valved too soft for the added weight of the bumper and heavier spring. I have done extensive research and made no less than 5 phone calls to companies to get opinions before posting this. The rear "pogo's" when going over bumps really slow, when the bumper is back on its way up, it has enough momentum to lift the rear tires. I know that cdcv icons 2.5's would work great, but, i just won't use them enough to justify. I am looking for a sub $400 option. I am afraid to buy something just for them to be valved "from the factory" but still don't control the weight. Considering OME, but then the weight i have it is right between 60080/60081 shocks. Sorry for the long winded note. I could go on and on Progressive, digressive blah blah. Just want real world experiences from people with similar setup. Thank you.

Ok so full disclosure up front, I literally just made this change 5 days ago.

I have the boss coilivers up front as well, I initially I had 5100's and SAW rear coils. Personally I never felt the rear matched the front, I was never sure if it was valving or springs. Well one of the bilsteins started leaking, by the time I found it the dampening was crap. A few months ago I added a rear CBI without swing out, the springs seemed ok but when loaded I had reverse rake.

Fast forward and I was looking at maybe getting some icon rear shocks, looking at cost and everything I decided to just buy a set of new Boss rear shocks. They were cheaper and despite some early breakages I knew they had resigned the end of the shock. Needless to say I'm thrilled with the on road ride, I have not gotten them offroad yet I will admit so this is all I can offer in this rambling response. Feel free to pm for more and I can report back once I get them in he dirt...
