Shock Compatibility

Postby GotToGo » Mon Jan 17, 2011 2:49 pm

Rock Auto lists shocks for my 2wd and for the 4wd version.

Will the 4wd shocks fit my 1988 2.0L/2WD

The OEM's just don't last and I'd like to find something better.

I'm not too sure about the front but I know Nissan hardbody rear shocks drop air shocks fit our truck.

82 - 92 square body style - never checked to see if 2nd gen s10 were the same.

I checked a few of those years and the part #s didn't match the OEMs.

But I found some shocks anyway.

Thanks

They mostly won't - but the shock extended, compressed and travel are identical
