Will they fit?
Hey guys! About to get some new shocks for the baby! They're fox racing shocks.
The first link below are for the front (smooth body) and the second are for the rear (piggyback). Question is, when checking out on the different sites, do i need to specify one is for the passenger side and one for the driver or do i just click "Quantity 2" and there universal????I'm more concerned about this regarding the two front shocks, because it seems as if the rears would have no issues being interchangeable. I'm pretty sure i have the right part numbers for the shocks but a confirmation from one of you would make me feel better! Lastly, the rear shocks say they are meant for a 2-3' lift... ill be installing an add a leaf at the same time as these shocks, will that be okay, or is the shock going to be too long still?? Thanks!

...and the second are for the rear (piggyback).

The link & part number for the rear setup you provided is for a standard smooth body IFP Fox shock (980-24-649). It's not a piggyback setup like you mentioned and its definitely not a remote reservoir setup like what is pictured on that website.
When I look up this shock (980-24-649) in the Fox catalog it's only listed for a 2WD Ranger...just like the front shock you posted.
I think you may be 0-2 on this one.
EDIT: After thinking about it...I guess I don't know if the shocks would actually be different or not. Hopefully someone will chime in to confirm or deny the catalogs listing of them only fitting 2wd trucks.
