Hello Daniel,

The FC vehicles use the same shocks front and rear.  The shocks for the 
front of Dodge D100/150/250 trucks (1973-85) and B-series B150/250/etc vans 
(1971-1990s) fit and typically produce a nice ride.  Be aware that some 
heavy duty versions of these shocks with a larger tube diameter may require 
the hole in the rear A-arm to be opened up slightly for clearance.  You may 
also need to slightly modify the lower bracket of the shocks to mate 
properly with the mounting bolt holes.

I currently use the Bilstein B46-0925 shock on our Greenbrier.
