Looking at another dakota, lol

The 2wd shocks mount with two bolts to the lower control arm with a bracket in the lower bushing. The 4wd shocks mount with a single large bolt. I also assume the 4wd shocks are a fair bit longer but not sure.
The bilstein 4600 are discontinued for the 4x4 unfortunately. I searched far and wide but ended up going with KYB gas-a-just.

Sales blurb:
I have a full set of bran'new KYB Gas-A-Just shocks for a 4WD that I bought accidently for my 2WD truck.
I have them on Ebay and here; I can ship slow boat USA for $120 for the full set.
(Mods: If this is wrong, feel free to delete and slap me on the wrist in a PM. I would just LOVE for them to go to a good home, though!)

And they're brand new, never used, only two unboxed (one front one rear) to verify they weren't the 2WD variants.
TBugden - if Cash68 doesn't want them, you want the rear ones still?

I've already bought some Gas-A-Justs 2WD for my 1988 2WD; I just bought these and let them sit while they were on sale (which sale price is very close to today's everyday price, natch. Le sigh.)

Cash, can't say if the 2nd Gen shocks will fit, sorry.

I had Gas a Just on my 93 and hated them.... too weak. I went to Gabriel Ultra and loved them, have Gabriel Ultras on my 92 2wd and my 96 4wd....
found them CHEAP on Amazon for one end of truck and EPay for other end of truck just gotta look around.... Useless Zone gets $36/each for the Ultras I got mine for $20/ea and free shipping.

Monroe had several different shocks for these trucks; gas magnum, sensa trac, Reflex, standard cheap grade Monroe "blue" etc... all Monroe all for an 87-96 Dakota 2wd. BIIIGGGG difference between them.
