Default difference between xa and xb trd shocks and struts

I found a good deal on new trd springs for first gen xb but checked the part numbers and found the xa and xb are 1 number apart and xb's are much cheaper than xa's, anyone know the difference and if the xb's will fit the xa

the XA has a lighter spring rate, you won't be happy with them on an XB

Mounting wise, there is no difference. Spring rates however are very different.

I have the xa the springs being different make sense what about the shock difference - what would the xb shock change being used on an xa

Not sure about that one roak. There might be a difference when it comes to rebound resistance and intert dampening. The xB shocks/struts may have a little more resistance both ways causing the ride to feel rough on an xA. Without the solid numbers on the two different shocks/struts, I can't be certain.

They might be different, but they will fit. I have the Springs/Struts/Shocks from My xB on my xA and it is fine, not as low, but there are reasons for that.
