Need to replace 56 F100 shocks
Doing a little work chasing some oil leaks underneath and I noticed 25 year old front shocks due for replacement. As I check local websites and even Rock Auto- all they show is rear shocks. Where are you guys going to get front shocks for stock front ends?

What am I doing wrong then- they show four different Monroe shocks- all for the rear.

Seems like I bought mine from Advance a few years ago. IIRC, they had a parts listing right on their webpage for both the fronts and rears.
