Since the rears are the rears end assemblies are basically the same I'd say yes the shocks will work.

There are aftermarket shocks that work better and less costly.

IIRC, the factory shocks are getting hard to come by.

I went with Monroe Severe Service struts and shocks on my car and have been pleased with them so far. Firm, but not harsh.

The OE shocks that start with 7W have the exact same performance as the old 3W and 4W. They do look completely different, but I assure you the function is identical. The OE manufacturer got Ford approval to change the design to be common with F-150/Explorer.

Interesting, I did not know that; thanks for posting!
