Default 02 ram 1500 4.7 4x4 shock question

My 02 ram has a 4 or 5 inch suspension lift dont know which, im needing new shocks because the bushings in the bottom mounts on the front are gone. Dont really need to go all out on the best, where would I get shocks for it? Any suggestions

Do you know the manufacturer of the shocks? If so you maybe able just to get bushing.

I know the lift kit is rough country, the shocks don't say anything, but I think they are bad anyways, if I push down on truck it don't bounce. If I hit a bump in the road it will shoot off to one side or the other

Front and rear maybe different lengths. You could pull off one of each. Measure extended length. And collapsed length. Call rough country tech help. They can get you the right ones. And tell you, lift height.

Sounds like time for ball joints too since it shimmies over bumps.
