Default wrong shocks!! :(

Anybody who has received the 2.5 skyjacker coil lift w/nitro shocks get the wrong shocks? I received N8055 front shocks which are for a '79 Scout and i got N8067 rear shocks which is for a 4" jk lift. After looking on skyjackers website it looks like i should have got N8035 and N8037 shocks for this 2.5" coil lift. Looks like the coils i got are correct at least.

where did you get the kit?
Most companies(off road stores and distributors) have the kits boxed up with the shocks separate. They pull the shocks from a big "pile" of them. Many times, if they don't have the right shock part number for that particular kit, they try and match it with the closest shock they have on hand.

Got it thru Quadratec. The rear shocks i have also look like monotubes instead of twin tube but i'm not sure.... well i just also noticed that the correct part #'s were on the outside of each individual shock box but the shocks in each box are not what the box label says. So they were pulled by the right # on the boxes but whoever put these shocks in the boxes (probably at the manufacturer) didn't put the right shocks in there.
