shock mounting

whats the difference between a 2000 4runner rear shock mounting and a 03-07 4runner rear shock mount. I'm looking at some rancho rsx shocks and the 03-07 has the same travel as a 95 fj80 shock since thats what I'll have installed soon. I like the rsx but they don't have one for the fj80s. or if someone knows the part number of the rsx that I'm looking for would be very helpful. The front is no problem I found those.

Be carefull with those FJ80 shocks. They will let your truck flex more than stock sized shocks, which will lead to two things. One, you will bend your sway bar like a pretzel and brake the mounts off the axle. Two, your drive shaft will contact the gas tank at full flex.

Ask me how I know....
