note I got the cheap ones. The rears feel alittle soft compair to how stiff the front is. There not a direct swap for the rear you will need to make some to get them to work.

The rear strut I had where smaller then THe adjuster sleve. So I took the factory washer on the spring mount add about a 1 3/4" of pipe that was a 1/4" pipe with a two inch inside to it go new washer from the store and and bored a hole about the same size the shock body. Then took a 2 inch out side dia pipe and center it on the top washer so the adjuster sleve had some thing to mount to and not slide around.
