front struts
Will front struts fit an 05 from my old 2000 model? If not why?

Good question. Not sure but if you want to try you'll need to do this:

1. retain your stock top plate (i.e. from the 3rd gen)
2. this will lift it 2" approx I think since the 4th gen has the extension on the bottom of the shock.

Does this make sense? I dunno why you would want to do this though since you're gaining lift but not really in the travel department since it's still a stock shock.

Anyway give it a try. I'm sure it'll work w/ the correct top plate in place.

Good luck

A 4th Gen strut might fit an a 3rd Gen, but a 3rd Gen strut wont fit on a 4th Gen. The bottom of the strut has an extension on the 4th Gen to avoid the axle from rubbing against the strut. 2WD might work.

Actually the other way won't work cuz then it'll be too short.
