Default Air Shocks

Ok so my truck's been dropped for a while. Got a flip kit out back, and I've gotten sick of the banging. So which air shocks do i need to get? I've heard Gabriel's from autozone but none of them in my area have them. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Honestly man, any brand air shock will work. they are all made the same either way, and the ride quality will be the same between brands as well. just my 2cts.

I had monroe air shocks on my truck and I hated them.

Maybe because its an extended cab but I went to regular shocks and shock extenders and it rides 10 times better.
