Replacement shocks for FX4?

Replacement shocks for FX4?
I just bought an 02 fx4 supercab with 5.4L, AT, XLT. I like it a lot, but man does she "buck" at freeway speeds when you hit certain bumps. I think they may be the original "rancho" shocks that ford had made for these. The truck has 190K on it! I am new to the FX4 and it was just one of those spur of the moment deals that was at a really good price for a Montana truck that is actually in pretty good shape (vehicles really get the crap kicked out of them up here).
Has anyone replaced these on your FX4. I have read a little tonight and they are supposedly "heavy duty" though I have read they are not that great of a shock.
From what I can tell, it has the 9.25" rear axel with the 5.4L. I have read that some came with the class 3 towing package (whatever that entails). I have a tow package on it, but how do tell if you have the class 3?
My main goal is to get suggestions on replacement shocks for front and back on this truck. Any help is appreciated.

I went to the KYB web site and they make it sound like the monomax would be a little overkill for a half ton. My truck is only a supcab with the short bed. I haul a pop up camp trailer and a loaded bed with gear fairly often, but nothing too big. You guys have supercrews correct? I am just wondering if the monomax might be a bit stiff on a supercab. Any thoughts?

Perfect! Just what I wanted to know. Not that I didn't trust any one else's opinion, but I figured that the SuperCrews were a little heavier than the supercabs. I will be ordering today.
