Welcome to the neighborhood!

"A" is the "bump stop", which looks warn out. It is there to keep metal to metal contact to a minimum when the suspension begins to wear so as to allow the truck to drop in height a little.

"B" looks like something around the shock is leaking pretty bad. The best thing to do is clean the entire area around the suspension there and then see if you can tell where the lube is coming from specifically.

Universal would be fine there, as a matter of fact I personally would go pick one up at a salvage yard for the best deal.

Send a Private Message to a member on this forum, screename "SuperchargedSS". He sells OEM replacement parts and is also a forum vendor and can more than likely get you exactly what you need for less than others online.
