SOFT shock ideas

I have a 73 F-100 (coil springs) and am looking for some soft shocks to run with it, I dont care about cornering and handling on-road as it is not a daily driver, and if I do drive it, I dont drive aggressively on the road anyway, I want to fly over washboard without bouncing off the road type of shocks, any suggestions?

What about the Monroe Reflex and the smoothiness of the ride. Are they ok if my gross weights are up towards 27K with a goose neck cattle trailer loaded.

Don't have any experience with the Monroe's. Typically I see the Bilstein, Rancho, and Edelbrock's talked about most around here.

The Edelbrock's had a little more rebound when I had a 3300lb slide-in camper in the back, although when towing the boat at the same time it was fine.

I've got a set that came off of mine if someone wants to try them without spending a bundle

Are they Edelbrock Performer IAS and if so what are the numbers on the front & rear, how many miles on them, etc. Email me the info. Might be interested.
