Default xA Struts/Shocks on xB??

I'm getting a really good deal on some xA Struts and Shocks, and my xB's are almost blown (~82k) and wanted to know if the parts numbers are the same or if the Rates (rebound, etc..) are the same. I know that they will bolt up and I can do that, just wondering about the other stuff. Thanks.

They should be fine. They only weigh a hundered or so lbs. different. I was wondering how high an xB would sit on xA springs myself?
How many miles on the xA struts? I replaced mine with Monroes and my stockers only have like 30 K on them. I could sell them cheap if you need them.

I'm getting a really good deal on them. They only have 5 miles on them.

I wansn't going to put xA springs on my xB, cuz I think that there would be issues.

No problem, you should be golden then with the struts. Good score!

Thanks. I've talked to a couple of people that have said the same, so I'm going to do it, I'll post up if I have issues or if it's lower or rougher/smoother.

Shouldn't be lower cause the springs determine that. Only difference I could see is maybe smoother. Stock xB struts sucked as far as smooth ride. That's why I went Monroes so soon. I couldn't take it anymore. hahaha.
I'm back on stock springs with them and it's freakin smooth in comparison.
