I do not know, but for road use OEM shocks are best, fronts are longer than rears.

Make sure they are the right length or you could end up bursting an airbag

I put the rears on mine. I trimmed the lower bush. The shaft sticking through the mount is not long enough. No idea how they were meant to fit.
The shocks are a lot longer than stock. Lot more down travel available. About to fit extended brake lines and the ABS sensor lead needs more slack.

The cups on the axle are there to house the rubbers.. 
the 2 extra TF ones aren't needed

Don’t fit the bottom 2.
The non +2” TF shocks are same with the cups.

Have you tried jacking the axle up putting a bit of weight on them, which will push then down in to the top cup.
