Not sure if I hit enter on a post I was asking about....lol
Skyjacker shocks are what I want to go with. I have had real good luck with them dating back to the late 80s on Jeeps. I have come to a road block though.....Are there different front and back shocks? I have always ordered the shocks and had no issues. but it seems like on some sites, that there is some sort of difference in them and on some sites they dont state any difference at all.......I am ready to hit "buy it now" and am just wanting to make sure I am getting the right suckers....any ideas??

GOOD MORNING MISSOURI
Hope everybody is feeling well.
Half way through the coffee pot and can open the second eye.
Waiting for the phone call to finish up the sell of the wrecked Escort. This was supposed to be a done deal Saturday. But the owner of the tow company decided he wasn't going to meet the buyer at noon like he said he would. But he did also give me 5 free day's of storage. I sure hope he isn't trying to run a tab on that part too.
Weather is on our side this week, so the yard will get mowed and trimmed too.
Y'all behave
Unk Bob

Good Morning Everybody!
Jeff. As far as absorbtion rate, the shocks are the same. They're 50/50's. As far as the actual shock, they're different. The front shocks have a stud mount top and bottom. The rear shock has a stud mount on the top and an eyelet on the bottom.
I have some running around to do today, but then I'm gonna button up the diesel. It'll get new ball joints and brake hoses and see if I can get a better brake pedal. I'm pretty sure it needs wheel cylinders, too. I'll check to be sure.
Oh, Jeff. You didn't get me any u-joints for the front shaft. .....so I did. It's a real 4x4 now.

I would think that Skyjacker would have a set for a 4" lift that would work? Hydro 7000 have a rebate going on ck their site.

I get to cruise the Dodge around today. I guess Cora ran all the gas out of it, so she left it and got a ride to school. Maybe Alice can stay clean a little longer.
