American Coach Tradition Shocks Needed ASAP

I broke the connection on the top of my shock absorber on my tag axle while leveling. While driving home after the weekend, the tire heated up and went down. Before replacing the tire I need to replace the shock absorber. Does anyone know which shocks I need on a 2006 AC Tradition?
I'm on 301 in Maryland at the Nice Bridge. Somewhat urgent so that I can get this fixed on Monday since truck-stop doesn't seem to be too happy about me leaving my unit here overnight. (I have to go to work in morning)

Thanks for any info about the shocks.

Thanks for the number. Called but he couldn't give me part numbers until tomorrow during day. My rig is at a truckstop for now so I guess I can wait until Monday am.

Just to provide some more context, the top eye of one of my shocks gave away while my coach was auto leveling with air bags. There was a loud bang and the coach shook for a second and then it leveled out. About 45 mins into my return trip, the driver side tag tire went down. The shock was still connected but the eye was now opened rather than closed. I'm guessing that this is what caused tire to heat up and go down. There was no nail or anything in the tire. Note that this same tire had been repaired about a month earlier from a screw that I picked up at a campground. So at the end of the day, I had to replace the tire with a new one because the inside of the tire was so damaged. I already brought 6 new tires in Feb for the rear drives and tags so this really was unexpected. Expensive toys have expensive repairs. I'll replace the other shock also to ensure it doesn't give next time I auto level. And before anyone asks, the site was not that uneven and all my tires remain on the ground.

Thanks rooster. Got to love these things even when they let us down. I'm at Lake Anna state park in Virginia this weekend. Got to enjoy the summer weekends before they are gone. Thanks again.
