there are 2 different part numbers for front and rear's.
the hydro's are standard hydraulic shocks, the nitro's are nitrogen filled. nitros are a much more consistant and higher performance shock

the rear shocks (and batteries and starter) are next in line. i'm thinkin about trying eBay to save a few dollars if i can find a pair that's new...hope that's a safe way to go

dont think you will get much cheaper then summit for the shocks. i got all 4 on mine tonight along with new steering stabilizer shocks.... holy crap what a difference going from the hydro's to the nitros! on road was a totaly different rid e so i took it across the field. had the truck up to 50 across the corn field bouncing away. the ride was great

i'm jealous...
still back and forth on merits of going with a stabilizer though. shocks there is no question except is it this one: Skyjacker Suspensions N8041 - Skyjacker Nitro Shocks - Overview - SummitRacing.com or this one: Skyjacker Suspensions N8079 - Skyjacker Nitro Shocks - Overview - SummitRacing.com
i am guessing the second one

i dont remember how much lift is on your truck, but if its between 4 and 6 inches then the front shocks are pn n8041 and the rears are n8060
with the 37's on your truck i highly reccomemd the dual steering stabilizers, the kit number is sja7240
