Deciding on rear shocks

Okay so I put KYB MonoMax on the front pretty happy with them cause after 2 sets of Monroe Reflex that sucked.

On the rear I have Monroe load adjusting with the coil springs. So I don't know if I want to replace them with the same or go with KYB. I added the Monroe's and helper springs for additional weight capacity and sagging. I hate to go with the KYB's and see the rear sag without weight.

I really can't recall which of the 2 or both the shocks or the helper springs helped raise the rear.

Any opinions?

By the way it's 95 E150 upgraded with 16 inch wheels and tires.

I decided to go with KYB MonoMax on the rear also and some Hellwig helpers. Screw Monroe shocks they're junk.

Changed my mind again, waiting for my Roadmaster active suspension to arrive.
