4wd 1 stock the RS999256 which has the same specs, not sure whqt the difference is new model maybe? Which is where I got mine.

I would suggest that you get some second hand solid sleeves from a suspension place and drill them out to 12mm then cut them to length. Use your oem shocks if you still have them to get the length. I found that the crappy folded steel sleeves are two thin and end up grinding out the holes in the mounts. I know they supply some washes for spaces but they just dont do the job properly.

The biggest problem is you have to face the adjustment knob forward so it gets a pounding from gravel when offroad and when you hit the rocks well then you really got to look out.

One of the other good things about them is they are a twin wall design so they are a bit more protected from being bashed by rocks.

I hope it all goes well for you.
