Shocks

I want to replace the OEM shocks on my 2WD F250 7.3. Since it's 2WD I wan to stay with a metal incased shock and not the shocks with the rubber boot on it. I would like to get a heavey duty version of the OEM shocks. Any recommendations.

I went to a Napa auto parts and they said they could not help me because the best they could do had a 8500 GW rating and my truck was rated at 8800? You would think the shocks for a one ton or even a dually would be similar?

I put the Monroe Reflex shocks on mine, they make for a little stiffer ride empty but feel good when the horse trailer is hooked up. The OEM shocks I replaced were worn completely out so maybe the new shocks are not as stiff as I think they are.
