Carrying Capacity & Shock Suggestions

HI guys, I have a 1986 swb 1/2 ton

Its time to replace all 4 shocks and my question is : what is the best shocks to go with. price is not an issue . this is my daily driver , but I do work construction so on occasion I will pick up a pallet of concrete mix and haul it in the bed for about 4 miles . the pallet = 36 x 80lbs bags which is (2880lbs) total.

Am I forcing her ? IM not sure what the max cargo load is on this truck and dont want to continue at the rate if she cant handle it.

what do you guys think??? should I do anything else other than just new shocks? are all shocks the same?
