Front Shocks

This may be a dumb question but my suspension is starting to look a little Saggy and as I have fairly new springs I’m guessing it must be the shocks the previous owner had put in. After doing a simple google search there appears to be thousands of front shocks that claim to be compatible with these. My question is, is there a standard size shock I should be looking at? I like the color of the red and white sky jackers but there’s also a hundred different options. I have a 1974 F100 2wd if that helps. Any info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Springs set the ride height. Regular shock absorbers don't raise or lower your vehicle.
