Default FX3 shocks

Is there any difference in front and rear Bilstein FX3 shocks? I know the fronts have the cross-bar at the bottom for mounting and the rears don't (they mount to a horizontal stud). Other than that, is there any difference?


I'm thinking remove the crossbar and use a front shock in the back. Anyone ever done this. Would save me a bunch of $$$$. :confused:

The ONLY people that could answer this question is Bilstein themselves. Give them a call direct and ask for the rebuild department and pose the question. As of right now they should still be open

Well, not totally different, but enough that it won't work. :rolleyes:
