I had to replace the rear shocks on my '96. The new ones just barely hook up, to the point that I had to put a little pressure on one side of the rear axle to get the bolt in. There was an argument that it wouldn't have any extension and wouldn't ride good. Not a biggee. I needed cushion, not extension. A twin-tube shock is what I needed, and what I got. I have a much better ride, than before.
