Different Rear Shocks?

hi,

i'm going to need to replace the shocks on my 90 p/u, 4WD, extended cab.

the local TOY dealer tells me that the rear shocks are two different part numbers, a LH and a RH. when i look at a site like bilstein they only list 1 shock type for the rear.

does anyone know if its the case that the rear shocks are really two different parts?

thanks.

I work in a Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealership in parts and I've this before. We show a left and right and after market just one.
Not too sure about Toyota though. Would call but they'd probably ask for the VIN...

Just to kind of give you an idea of what I talking about 4wheel parts for the rear of your 2004 Ram 2500 4x4 with say 0" lift shows one shock option. Dodge has different shock for 8650# 8800# 9000# 9900# and 11000# GVW. But again 4wheelparts only 1

theyre the same... and depending what you do with your yota... if you do alot of hauling or mud races id go for the rancho rs series.. ive had a set on my yota for about 3 years and they still respond like a kickin mule =p but if you want "flex" go toward the bilsteins... i use my P/u to haul metal for work so the flex doesnt work for me...
