the links included are the rear upper, however if you are putting it on the gladiator you use the stock links. the shocks dont come with any oil in them. also one other thing to note is 12mm hex spacers dont work with it or at least the front axle.. if you want wheel offset you either have to get a good offset on the wheel or use the vanquish spacers that fit over the stock 12mm hex. but it is an awesome looking kit on my gladiator for a good scale look and still crawls like a beast
