Default 1988 F150 custom Shocks recommendation

I could use some recommendations on front shocks for a 88 f150 I am going to replace. I'd like to (if possible) add a little bit of lift during the process, nothing crazy just to smooth out factory tilt. Your ideas would be appreciated.

I would replace the front springs while you're at it, they are probably original and are sagging. If you go with OE style you'll still have the straight from the factory front rake, if you go with something like a Moog 824 or 844 then you'll be less than an inch from level (at center of wheel wells).

I have the 824 on mine with MONROE 58275, they are load assisting (coil over shock) so they help support some of the engine weight. I really like the ride quality I have now.

I put the CC824's on my '95 along with KYB Gas A Just monotubes at all 4 corners. It rides great now. It still leans a little more than I like when cornering but my truck didn't come with sway bars. Once I get some sway bars on there it'll be great.
