    If they're OEM they should have a part# on them.

    OfferUp or FB marketplace. You'll find a lot of used takeoffs, some with low mileage. I got my whole set listed on here and both those sites.

    What about this part? It seems to come off of the shock absorbers.

    That shock absorber is a KYB brand available at most parts stores or several places online like RockAuto. The top stud is just an adapter since KYB builds mostly generic shocks.

    I have run a few sets of KYB on other vehicles and found that there are much better setups for similar money. Stock black shocks from Tokico/Hitachi can be had at the dealership for not much money. Bilstein 5100’s or Eibach Pro Truck Sport shocks are also popular and not much more. Personally, I’d upgrade from thr KYB’s to something else.

    What would you recommend? I have a lift on the truck not sure how much but that’s why I had the adapters. If I switch to a different brand would I still need the adapters?

    Unless you spend big $ on some longer rear shocks (custom?), you'll need those adapters to use stock length shocks.
