Default Bilstein 5125 series shock question

So i just picked up a set of the bilstein 5125 series shocks from iron rock offroad. Trying to determine which pair is for front/rear since one pair has a longer shock body than the other. Ive never replaced shocks before and there isnt a difference in shock body lengths on the ones that are on my jeep currently.

take off your old ones and you'll be able to answer that yourself

He might have got the ones that have eyes on both sides though

I think it'll be obvious when you take the old ones off.
Probably the short ones go with the adapters.

Can't you just look at the part numbers and cross reference?

My rear Bilsteins were longer when I ordered them from Serious.

Short (w/adapters) up front and the longer ones in the back. I have the same shocks from IRO.
