Default Factory shocks on 2009

Curious if the shocks and struts I'm replacing on my 2009 are factory or not. I've googled the #'s on them but don't come up with anything. They are red - Struts and shocks. Are the factory shocks red?

Yeah, they should be red, part # 68056333AA. Don't replace with OEM crap shocks though. Get Monroe or Rancho, or another aftermarket brand, you will be happy that you did.

Thank you very much dakotaff!!! Rancho's are on all 4 corners. I was wondering because with the Rancho struts, I had to use the existing springs. I also wound up having to use the existing upper mounts because the Moog upper mounts I bought from Rock Auto did not fit correctly. I was hoping I was re-using the stock factory parts.

Between new tires (BFG LT265's) and the new struts/shocks, 200% ride improvement!!! Drained my savings, but worthwhile investment for the next many years of driving..
