Default 2WD vs 4WD Ball joints

Is there a difference? I found a pair of Moog ball joints for cheap. The guy says they're for a 2WD. Thanks.

The designs are different. The 2wd ball joints extend further down than the 4wd ones do. The 2wd ball joints are also A LOT lighter than the 4wd which is probably why they are about 1/2 the price overall than 4wd.
