    Absolutely. I’m not sure what kind of shape they are in though. Cosmetically they look good but they’ve been riding with the leaf springs maxing them out for about a year. Not sure if that has any internal effect on them or not but they still compress nicely

    It’s got two numbers on it
    First: 980-24-671
    Second: 147869
    Not quite sure which number means what

    How’s $175 for the pair sound. Cosmetically they look pretty good on the outside. They seem solid internally but I’m not an expert, they compress smoothly. Pretty dirty but could easily be wiped clean. The bushings are in good shape as well

    If they aren't leaking then they're probably still okay, in any case those shocks should be rebuildable and servicing rear shocks is pretty cheap/easy compared to doing the fronts. So I've heard.
