yup they bolt right on but if you still running the 2.3 them springs will not be right i pretty sure ebiach makes the springs for the 4 banger

5.0 struts won't bolt up to the 2.3 spindle. For some reason the mounting area for the the 2.3 spindle is much thicker. The rear shocks the bolt up to a 7.5 rear are different.

if you buy monro struts they come with spacers to make up the space or you can leave them off i know because i did it so i guess keep an eye out for that

oh yea and the rear just bolt up defferent but you can use the same shock you can even chang the mount and bolt them up the same as 8.8
