are you looking for factory shocks? Rubicon, sahara and sport all have different part numbers.

The problem u have is u made an ASSUMPTION that the shocks are tied to the springs. Those springs can be had on all models depending on hard top vs soft top vs towing package on unlimited.

The shocks ARE tied to model. Rubicon shocks for rubi, basic shocks for others standard.

If buying shocks new-go with aftermarket solutions. They are improved in every way. The stock shocks dont live long from my experiences. I went thru several in less than 40k miles.

I don't think it's an assumption.

Yup; shock type is not connected to spring part number. I use Quadratec websites replacement parts section for information like this. Has an exploded diagram and part numbers there.
