New shocks...
Looking into new shocks, mostly because i need thougher ones in the back. I had about 400 pounds of black dirt in the bed of my 94 f150 reg cab short bed and she was sagging bad... This winter i plan on putting my 550-600lb snowmobile in the bed and towing a small alluminum (single axle) trailor. While im at it i might as well do the front too, what do i need and what is reccommended? Im going to have my dads mechanic come and install whatever i buy, just so i know its right. Any help is appreciated.

Shocks are not going to help you with your suspension sag problem when loaded. Shocks merely damp the axle movement, they have no effect on ride height. You need higher rated springs, or an add-a-leaf underneath your existing leaf pack, or a helper leaf above the leaf pack, or air helper springs (air bags). Look in any truck parts catalog and you will likely find ads for all of those parts.
