Oil filled Shocks

Does anyone know where I can get a set of good Heavy Duty OIL shocks for my truck, instead of these stiff riding gas charged shocks that I have on it now?

Surely someone must still make them for something and I know they would make my truck ride soo much better.

Is there any reason I could not adapt some of these oil racing shocks to my application with either 60/40 or 50/50 valving?

Or these?

Thanks in advance.

the gas shocks just prevent oil foaming from agressive friction, the valving reduces flow, look for an adjustable dampening shock, rancho rs9000 or similar.
