Gen II rear shock absorber deal

[allmyEXes]

RockAuto still has some of the Gabriel 61624 ProGuard shock absorbers. 2 or 3 weeks ago several of us were discussing the really good price on the shocks. $7.73 each. Last week we ordered 6. ~ 2 weeks ago, RockAuto had 138 in inventory. I/we bought 6. Last check, RockAuto has 118 available. The fit Gen IIs and I know that they fit our 2002 Sport Trac. RockAuto didn't show that they fit Gen 1s, but the measurements compared to an 81823 is so close that they will bolt on.
Saturday, I looked on my parts shelves and there is a pair purchased 3 years ago of the same Gabriel 61624. I bet I paid about $23- each.

Gen 1 has same rear setup as gen ii sports and sport tracs no different

I was going to buy the $7 Gabriel’s but when I was on there I decided to spend a little more I got Monroe’s for our 03 trac here and the rears w the helper springs still a good deal for $75

I think I'll order a couple, at that price can't lose! They only fit the rear and not the front?
