That's what I just installed on my '93 2WD 3.0L shortie. They are great for the price. Do shop around online, though. There is a huge difference in prices from one outfit to another. I ordered mine online through Kragen, and they did refund the difference between their price and the lowest price online, you just have to send the web page to their customer service. I did that because you can pick up in person at the store of your choice.

I have Sensatrac in my 1990 AWD. I'm not impressed with their performance; they bounce and wallow just as much as the originals I replaced. I think one of them has started to leak already, but I can't find my receipt to make good on their lifetime warranty, and the Trak Auto that I bought them from has turned into a Kragen or Autozone. I'm not sure what brand I'll try next.

Sens-a-trac for the front, air adjustable (Gabriel Hijacker) for the rear. The Sens-a-trac provides a crisper feel than other shocks tried in the past. I especially like the taut rebound action they provide.
