Thanks for the tips I'll do a little shopping on line compare Jegs & Summit unless someone has a cheaper place to buy?

I ordered shocks from Autozone the rears look just fine but they sent the wrong ones for the front actually look like car shocks they are Gabriel Proguards. I'm talking with Autozone on an exchange.
The shocks on the front now have two sets of numbers on them LE1022 and PA0451E nice they are made in the USA at least but I can't cross ref them maybe an old mopar number?
If someone can crossref these that would help a bunch more curisity I think.
