Default Strut Confusion

PepBoys told me that my front struts are leaking and that I need to get them replaced...probably a stupid question, but does strut=shock in this situation. I guess I just don't quite understand the difference. I'm trying to shop around for parts and am not sure what to look for. Also I have a 4" body lift, do I get parts for a stock ride height? Thanks for your help. I have a 2004 F150 FX4.

Struts up front and shocks out back. If all you have is a body lift and not looking for more than I would suggest stock ride height. Either way I'd get Bilstein 5100's, I love them on my truck!

Thank you very much for your help. Just to be sure, is this all I need to get for the front strut? http://cart.bilsteinus.com/product/24-122986/1422751
Thank you.
