    If they are like that photo, they won’t work.
    Edit: my 1st gen memory has left.

    My memory confused the mounting on 1st gens vs 2nd gen.

    Ignore my comment above.

    Search for other threads about rear shocks. There are several regrets due to the generic valving not tuned for the driving style or weight you plan to carry.

    also, what is your suspension up front?

    4 run, 2 don't
    Don't bother

    They are damn near OEM-length and will get destroyed if you run them on a lift

    Not to mention that's way too much for a stock-travel shock

    Read up on the many that have ruined their King rears even after they were advised not to run them
