    Hey Folks,

    In the process of doing a light suspensions refresh. I ordered a kit from 4WP that includes all shocks front and rear. The problem is they sent me two rear left shocks, and there's supposed to be a left and a right separate (33-247724(RL), 33-247717(RR)).

    I'm wondering if I can run two 33-247724 in the rear and if this would be noticeable? I know the left shock is longer than the right but will I notice and difference in height or feel between the sides? I'm doing an Icon 1.5" AAL so that's where the lift is coming from.

    TIA

    You'll never feel a difference.

    You won't even feel a difference if you had the correct shocks and flipped them upside down or to opposite sides.

    You could reach out and have said company fix the issue by sending you the correct shock, wouldn't hurt.

    What will actually make a difference is not having the longer bumpstops to prevent from bottoming out your shocks. Granted this won't happen unless you're really hitting technical stuff while off-roading but if you're like 95% of fire road travelers out there, not an issue.
