90 lbs is probably way too much for the air bags. The overloads won't contact at all with that much air unless you have super thick bump stops.

Agree on the airbags. If that is bringing you up to normal ride ht then those springs are about the same as a 2500 pickup. You never did answer whether you have a block or lifted springs in back. Makes a difference if you'd like advice about how to shore up your truck on the cheap.
But either way, bolt on overloads would take up a bunch of the squish in your springs and combined with light air in the bags and the sway bar you already have would make it much more stable.
Don't waste your $ on shocks until you get the load carrying handled. Shocks won't do anything for a truck overloaded to the point of needing that much air and no over loads to help stabilize. What you have is a bouncy castle right now.
