    Probably couldn't go wrong with 6112 up front and 5160 on the rear.... maybe some Airbags for the Towing...

    Airbags, rear sway bar, and Bilstein 5100s would help greatly.

    I think you should start with a rear sway bar you would be surprised the difference it makes. I feel that shocks are going help but not as much as sway control and weight distribution.

    Second the customer service piece for GenY. My WDH got lost in shipping, and they sent me a new one, no questions asked

    I just got my WDH setup from them after your recommendations, pretty nice that I can add it on and remove when I don't need it.

    Stock Ford F250 or F350 shocks. Make sure that they are still attached to the F250 or F350.

    In your only other post, you mention that you have a 4X4. Unless you have a regular cab, 10,000 lbs is over the listed maximum towing capacity for the truck. Even if it is a regular cab, the max capacity is 10,100 lbs. Too close to the edge. Lighter trailer or heavier truck.
