Shocks?

Hey everyone. Im usually in the 73-79 section but i think i can get a better response here.

I have a 74 F250 4X4 and it needs new shocks. I dont do that much off roading but i have a ranch and i do whenever i go up there.

Im trying to find a shock that will give me a smooth ride on the road. Right now its like a rock. When i gas it the front of the truck wont rise and when i hit the brakes, the front doesnt really slope. Whatever these shocks are, they are STIFF!

So whats a good shock? (thinking about ProComp Es 3000 or 9000)

Pro Comp's are pretty stiff as well.

If you're on the road most of the time, look at the KYB GR2's. My F150 (road truck) loved them.
