what are some good online retailers to use when ordering shocks?

Here is where I bought my 5100's from:

https://www.shocksurplus.com/product...d-w-2-2-5-lift

Made account, waited about 20 minutes or so and got a code for $10 off. Ordered Sunday and had one set Wednesday and other Thursday. I installed they Friday after work. Night and day difference compared to stock Tremor shocks that were toast at 11k miles.

They say the 4600 ride softer on the road

I guess when I searched for icon i found options for the diesel but not 7.3L. I assumed based on engine lbs, would be diff options but maybe not?

Ok no shock expert but I would say if the shock is aimed towards off road then it will ride stiffer on the road

Yeah, I don't know of any shocks that specify gas or diesel. The lift kits that include new springs are typically where they will specify diesel or gas.

Yup, I can’t do yellow and blue either!

I would have to paint them black
