Thier was a thread a while back about handling on the interstate. I had the same problem geting pushed around especialy with big trucks. I already had a new steering damper installed before I discovered the prob. I installed new KYB gas-adjust in rear KYB GR 2 in front.

The ride is too harsh if you put gas-a-just up front. No one recommends putting GR-2s on the rears. I'm running the same combination as the first post after removing the gas-a-justs from the front. You give up some handling by switch to softer shocks but you can compensate by putting on a a bigger front sway bar.
KYB shocks are a good deal and a popular bus shock but there's still room for improvement. If you've driven in a car with Bilstein or Konis you'll understand why they are so expensive.
Bilstein doesn't make a bus shock anymore but if you find some old stock on the shelves for a good deal get them. Here's are the part numbers:
B46-0828 front
B46-0839 rear
