Default Rubicon Shocks

Have an 08' 4 door X and was looking to replace my shocks. I found a good deal on ebay for some Rubi take offs, allegedly with only dealer lot miles on them. Are there different types (part numbers)for the 2 door and 4 door Rubi shocks? Are there different shock part numbers for front and back? Just wondering what questions to ask before I pull the trigger.

They will work fine no matter what number. Don't spend more than $50.

+1 with what Joisey said.

The fronts are different than the rears, but as long as they are a set from a '07+ Rubicon they will fit fine. I put a set on my X and it was worth the upgrade, but I also wouldn't spend more than about $50 on a set. If they are asking more, then I would hold off and just watch the classifieds here. I ended up picking mine up locally from another board member for $50.
