Try KYB KG5466

You'll need to swap out the rubber bushings. I used energy suspension hourglass ones and i believe rears need 3/4" parrt number 9.810G

Just pry the original bushings out with a large flat blade and pop new ones in

I did fronts same way except bushings are 5/8" and shocks are

KYB KG5417

I came up with these by measuring the original spirals at full extension and full compression and matched them from the KYB specs.
