Can you cross reference the Bilstein PN tp an alternate brand?=20

BTW, I had the Putske kit on my BJ8 up until 2012 when I took the car =
apart down the frame and started over. I decided to go back to OEM lever =
shocks during the restoration. I still have the full Putske kit =
including the shocks. If anyone is interested, make me an offer so I can =
clear off some shelf space.=20
