Default Looking for injectors

Over the weekend I had my check engine light come on and became slightly worried. No big deal everything seemed to sound fine and run ok so I put it at the back of my mind. Got to a mechanic and threw a diagnostic machine on it and found out I got a misfire on cylinder 3 and 4. My question here is if anybody knows where to get some injectors for fairly reasonable price and whether or not I should just replace the ones misfiring or go ahead and do all them?

Not looking to go put in bigger injectors just want to leave it as close to stock injectors as possible. I'm able to gain the power I want through programmers and other bolt-ons.

Thanks for everyone's input.

How many miles on the motor?

I've read on multiple powerstroke forums that injectors can go 200,000 miles if oil is maintained well.
It's your call though, some guys would rather have their 'baby' running top notch, even it means throwing away good parts now and then.

My truck has 128,000 plus on it right now. I put a programmer, intake and exhaust on about at the 120,000 mile mark. I need to get new injectors for the two cylinders now so I am just looking for any recommendations for finding these and whether or not putting stock back in is better or if there is an aftermarket injector that is better but again I'm not looking at getting bigger injectors. I haven't done anything really to build up reliability (such as EGR delete, head studs, etc.)

I put a set of Casserly 155 in my truck, great power and trouble free.

OEM sticks have been proven to last the long haul out the box. Yes there are people refurbishing used injectors with good luck but it does have it's limitations.

For the cost replacing all 8 might be expensive, otherwise just replace what you need. You could get some worked cores and save up for a full set of new injectors.
