Default tj shocks fit jk?

i was wondering if the shocks from a tj will fit on the jk, because superlift has the black diamond xt shocks on their ebay scratch and dent store for $9/shock for front and rear for tj with 2-4" lift.

thanks.

The mounting style is the same fo the TJ and the JK but.......you need to make sure the extended and collapses length is the same. A 2 inch lift shock for the tj may not be the same as the JK.

Yes, you can use your TJ shocks in Jeep JK. Because the mounting type of both models is almost the same, So you can easily fit in JK. Many shocks production company, can make universal design, so you can use it in many models.

I compare the catalog numbers. If the same number fits both applications you are good to go.
