Bilstein shock recommendation

2006 f-350 xlt CC LB 4x4. I've noticed lately that I'm getting a lot of body and chassis vibrations that transfer through the entire truck when I hit a bump or small pot hole or imperfection in the road lately. Ride has gotten very rough even with tires aired down some instead of pumped way up. I'm wondering if this is a shock issue. My truck is an FX4 with the rancho shocks, stock 20" rims with Michelin LTX AT's. Never been a solid supporter of the Rancho brand. Probably a great brand but I've always been a big bilstein believer. If I replace my shocks with bilsteins which model should I go with. I am NOT a big off roader, I prefer good road manners with a quality ride that's not gonna beat me to death. I do pull a small 6500 lb trailer but I do not really load or tow this truck at it's max capability. What model Bilstein do you guys recommend?
