"EXPLORER" Shock Absorbers...

I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500, Quad Cab, 2 Wheel-drive, 5.7L engine.
The previous owner had installed a 2" lift kit on it, prior to my purchasing the truck.

On the way home from work today, the front passenger side shock absorber broke. Well, not exactly the shock itself, but the pin that runs through the lower connector, with the two mounting holes that attach the lower end to the suspension.



My wife was out shopping, so I called asked her to swing by the part store to pick up a pair of shocks. After hanging up, it occurred to me that the OEM shocks probably would fit because of the 2" lift. Sure enough, she gets home and the shocks she was sold weren't even close.

We drove around this evening to a few stores, looking for a replacement, but just can't seem to find them. The only markings I can see on the broken shock I've removed are as follows"

EXPLORER

C160D1



I've done some searching online, but just can't seem to locate anything that looks like it would work. Any ideas or recommendations of sites I should/could be looking at to find these thing? I've tried JC Whitney, SUMMIT, searching all the markings above, individually and collectively...




Thanks!

Randy
