Fronts I would imagine would be harder on 4wd, but plenty use 2wd on them without problem, as after market normally uprated anyway, and some companies no doubt do just the one listing to suit both 2wd and 4wd, as they're not a million miles apart.

think the rears are the same on both 2wd and 4wd as all the rear end components are the same, i think?
