You have a classic. How many miles?

It looks like Bilstein makes shocks for the Oshkosh chassis but you may want to call ShockWarehouse and confirm fitment;

I spoke with bilstien and they no longer make a shock for this particular model.
28k on the mileage. Thanks for the response.

I've also contacted frieghtliner, twice, and both times they gave me the same part number which has to be cross-referenced cuz that shock part number doesn't exist anymore and trying to cross-reference it I come up with wrong shock

Update: I quit trying to order shocks locally and ordered thru Freightliner, the part number they had previously provided me with, and replaced the front shocks last night. Haven't driven yet to see how much difference there is, the new shocks are identical to old original shocks except for the part numbers stamped on them. No upgrade😣, however they aren't shot like originals. Don't know how to go about upgrading,. Having the Oshkosh xline chassis, which was purchased by Freightliner in mid 90's, creates a problem in cross referencing. But hopefully it won't feel like it's gonna roll over Everytime I go around a corner
