I have an 02 F350 dually 2wd crew cab stock ride hight (tow rig), and I tow a race trailer that weighs aprox. 8000lbs. and i was wondering what are good shocks that give u a good ride with the trailer unhitched to.

8,0000lbs is NOTHING for your tow rig. You will probably notice your truck rides slightly smoother with that weight back there! :drive:

Just to give you an idea - I'll be pulling a 3,000lb trailer w/ a 6,000lb truck on it from Richmond VA to Lancaster PA - I have the stock suspension and it rides dandy

I've run the Edelbrock IAS shocks on my Dodge and like them. I drive that truck both empty and with a 24ft enclosed trailer behind it.
