Need new suspension, have sonoran steel

best of factory setup. Great for most applications I'm sure but has terrible damping for fast running on hard packed washboard sand on the beach.

Need a better shock setup, recall a coilover setup from another company. I know most here are into crawling and stuff but am hoping for input on my usage: 20 mile runs on tough sandy conditions down the beach, ranging from loose sand to hard packed washboard.

The trekmaster shocks on my rig just don't cut it.

Thanks all.

you likely need coilovers up front.

Most lifts are not set up for high speed running, but encourage slow rock crawling.

Why not just step up to another Sonoran kit?

Yes. Try talking to Steve about how you plan to drive your truck. He used to sell coilovers for go-fast situations but I don't see them on his site anymore. Perhaps he has another solution and can work with you. Worth checking at least. It sounds, as you've mentioned, that you have a go-slow set up and want a go-fast setup.
