Rear shocks for Cab & Chassis trucks?

[slowneasy]

I have an '09 3500 SRW 4x4 that is in need of new rear shocks. Anyone know of an aftermarket brand that will fit? I made the mistake thinking that these trucks used the shocks from regular pickup trucks and ordered a pair of Bilstein 24-191203 and they don't fix. The upper mounting bolt is larger (16mm) vs the lower (14mm). Regular pickup trucks shocks have the same size top & bottom. Any ideas if you've replaced yours, what did you use?

I looked into this several years back for Harvey's C&C. At that time OEM was all that offered. I checked Monroe, Gabriel, etc. and no dice.

This is perfect! Thanks guys for the recommendations. I really didn't want to put OEM shocks back on. On that thought though, I wonder why the bigger named aftermarket shock manufacturers haven't been producing shocks for these Cab & Chassis trucks... they've been out since '07! And there are a good number out there. I wonder if the Ford and GM/Chevy use for their shocks? Two different size bolts like Dodge? I'll say it.... that's just dumb.

Just ordered a pair of Monroe shocks, thanks Nick.

Just bolted on the Monroe gas-magnum shocks and they fit perfect. Thanks all!
