Default FAQ...Truck Gas Shocks

I'm looking for a new set, and wondering who makes the good ones.
Bilstein? KYB? Monroe?

Application: 2000 Ford F-250 4x4
Use: Occasional Trailer Towing (approx. 14k pounds at most), and 98% on road.

I know almost nothing about trucks, so help me out. I know i can google search it, but im at work, so i cant really spend much time searching around.

well why would you have a 4x4 truck if you stay 98% on the road? do you get stuck on the concrete?

Sometimes towing a boat up a slippery ramp? Or a quad trailer to croom? Maybe to pull stumps?
