    I've also tried autopartsexpress.com, but its out of stuck.
    Cheapest price I've found after searching this part for 3 days is 389$ each at the columbia,SC international dealership

    Having similar issues. Considering retrofitting external shocks, making my own brackets and using crown vic shocks. It has been done but I can't find pics on it.

    Correct me if i'm worng but you might want to check Link Manufacturing. They make air suspens and cab suspension for OEm and retrofits for med duty trucks. Last i recall i drove a 2011-12 durastar with cab suspension(road pretty dam good!) and the cab suspension shock and air bag read link manufacturing. Maybe they get there shock from tenneco/moroe group or gabriel is another one. Bag might might a goddyear. http://www.linkmfg.com/

    Thanks for that information. The prostar has similar cab suspension with a shock built into the airbag. The problem is the shock part wore out in two years and is $1000 per strut x2 of course. I will be fitting cab shocks on Monday and will post part # and pics as well

    I had to replace one last December, the air bag was leaking, just over $300 at the IH dealer, wrenched it myself.

    The monroe 66127 was the correct part but search as i might that part is no longer available. International did the engineering on part and now is stopping the independent sale of that part thus making a 300$ fix into a 2000$ fix

    60$ for shocks. Easy swap out in a few years when they give up. I will try to remember to post the gabriel # . I left the tag off the box in my truck

    Did you weld a plate at the top and drill in frame at the bottom?
