shocks & struts

It looks and feels like I need to replace the stock shocks/struts on my '88 4Runner (22RE).

NOOB question sorry...

Is it struts all the way around or shocks in front a struts in back?

When I go and look at ordering online for say Rancho 5000's, the front and back look exactly the same in the pic and are the same price and it's worrying me a bit.
