You will also need shock extenders for the rear

If you used shock extenders, use can use any OEM replacements

Nothing over the counter no, unless you cross reference other car models rear shocks. Might take you 3-5days just to figure it out though haha

I have heard of people using Nissan hardbody rear shocks and them working good. I wouldn't do anything other than OEM with extenders on any of mine.
