In addition to the Rancho shocks, Monroe and Bilstein are also good choices. You do not need the heavy duty off road upgrades, that adversely affect empty ride qualities. If your trailer's pin weight results in a rear squatting of your truck, air shocks can also be added. They can be simple systems that are aired only when needed, to more elaborate upgrades with compressors and automatic operations.
Most shocks need replacement at ~ 50K miles, especially the rears if you do a lot of hauling. Most new replacement shocks have a lifetime warranty, that eventually will still need to be replaced if you keep the truck for several years.

Rancho is owned by Monroe.I used the Rancho 9000 and they have worked well on my F350Bilstien makes a great shock.I was able to get the Ranchos a lot cheaper, they had a VISA card rebate when I bought mine and it brought the price way down.

Thanks all for the advice. I'm going to go with the Monroe's I'm way over due on shocks. But I also haven't been doing a lot of towing in the last year. But I'm up dating brakes, shocks on it so I can get back to camping.. Happy Trails!!!
