Towing w/ E150 Van (Shocks)

I tow a race car with my 1999 E150 conversion van. I plan on replacing the original shocks (65k miles). Any shock recommendations? Any other items that might help raise the rear end when towing but not make it ride like a lumber wagon when not towing? Thanks-

Jeff

No I have not. I assume this is the same thing I used on my Cutlass back in the late 70's in my high school days.
