Talking I would like some info on how to figure out shocks by rating

Ok, if you have a stock bug, the choices are pretty easy and made for you,... you just choose the brand pretty much.
So how do you pick the right shock say if you have lightened the car up say in my case with a kit car? Or like with the V8 conversion, where you have a huge amount of weight added?
If I run stock shocks on my car the ride is normal in the back, but rigid as hell in the front. As a matter of fact on a dirt road with those braking rigdes you see just before corners, I rattled my gas tank clean out of it's mounts.
Any help here would be great.
