Replacement Shocks, what brand/rating?

I've got 170k on my truck and I've never replaced the shocks. I think it's time and I'm planning on pulling a 6 to 8k travel trailer. Any suggestions on an affordable set of shocks front and rear?

front shocks on my truck are monroe, three sets in 215,000.
the rear are OEM .
try this, change front shocks first, then drive it for a while...........the rear doesn't use shocks like the front
