best shock for my application

I have a F250 2wd. I have put an extra leaf spring on. I tow a 10,000 lb trailer some of the time and a 3500 lb trailer sometimes over long distances. Don't do a lot of mountain driving but do a little now and then. Which brand and style of shock would you get if you were in my shoes?

Thanks in advance,

Steve

You could look at Rancho's new 7000 series shock, my buddy put them on his F250 and said they ride a little stuff but likes them overall
