I have no idea of the size shocks that truck would take, but if you can find Bilstiens that fit, that is what I would recommend. I just replace my old Bilsteins with another set. "If it works stick with it."

Being as it's a 450, may or may not have as many options as 15-35 series trucks. I would suggest doing some internet searching at brands mentioned, add Monroe also.

Without driving the truck, I couldn't tell you if you need shocks or not.

But, if you're asking what kind of shocks, you'll get most of the replies pointing at Rancho's or KYB's.
