You can also look at offroad design's website, they lay out the shock sizing.
You will be looking for a 5125 series shock for all 4 corners and a 5100 series shock for the stabalizer if you choose to replace that as well.

I found a pic of my stabalizer part number.
The 5125 serise shock will require you to measure your length from frame mount to axle mount. You buy them based upon travel length. I think the ORD website tells you what you should have for travel.

Hope this helps.
I paid mid $70 range per shock from Amazon.
Everything I’ve seen says mount Bilstiens with the label right-side-up. Mine came with the label boot side up. Did you change the orientation of your labels? Offroad Design said they can go either way, but the boots had drain holes only at one end, so I installed them that way.
