Problems While Towing

I have an 03 F-250 SB CC 4x4. The truck rides and drives like a caddie empty. I hooked up my 25 ft flatbed last week and noticed what seemed like a shock issue with the load. When ever you hit a bump you can feel the truck make a bump bump bump like the tires mighty be hopping. I replaced the shocks and the steering stablizer, Made no difference. Looking for answers to what might causing this problem. Ball joints apper to be good as well.
