Front Shocks for 84 C2500 2wd

What HD shocks do you all recommend for my truck? I have an 84 C2500 2wd that I put regular shocks on 5 years ago but I don't think they are strong enough for it. They started leaking awhile back and they look more like small car shocks. The road I use to my work site is AB but full of holes, and going into it is rough as all get up. I only do about 10-15mph on it but it's shaking the front loose. Thanks

Bilstein is first choice, as well as second.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
