Default Replacing shock strut assembly on 1993 S10 blazer4.3

Looking to replace my struts rear and front and want to make sure I get the right ones... a buddy of mine once did his on his Subaru and somehow ordered the wrong ones for the front and didn't realize it til he went to go get an alignment... looking at rockauto, it seems pretty straightforward. Am I missing something? Or am I just paranoid? I drive a 1993 s10 blazer 4.3l 4wd.

Are you talking struts or shocks? I don't have a 2wd, but I'm pretty sure the rear has a leaf spring and shocks.

Yeah, sorry I'm using those words interchangeably - shock assembly.

Go ahead and order the shocks off Rock Auto. You'll be good to go with no worries.

Ok, that is what I was hoping to hear!
