    A little over a month ago I replaced my rear shocks with some new Billy 4600s. Only thing is, both shocks have the same part #. For 5-lugs, are both left and right rear shocks supposed to be the exact same? Or did I accidentally buy 2 right or 2 left shocks?

    there are left and right front struts and left and right leaf springs but I don't think there is any left or right rear shocks normally although someone might make them to compensate for if your truck leans

    Thanks for the info guys. Now I can rest assured lol I was starting to see an imaginary lean after I found out about left and right parts
