Default Whats the difference between these two shocks?

Probably a dumb question, but I cant figure out the difference aside from the look.

1) http://www.quadratec.com/products/16070_118.htm

2) http://www.quadratec.com/products/16070_216.htm

would either of these be better on a JK 2 door with leveling kit?

thanks guys!

but its basically one shock is longer than the other for when you are flexing. if you have a lift and stock shocks and flex, the shock will come apart from extending too far. longer shocks are made to extend with lifts.
Hmmm no... if a shock that is too long is put on too short of a lift it will over compress and be ruined after repeat occurrences though.
