I'm not sure I'd do the 2nd gen front axle I'm pretty sure they were all low pinion until the 3rd gen

Ill have to get back to you on retrofit kit cause I have website saved on my computer at work and went with 14 inch struts cause I wanted to keep mine as low as possible without having to cut into the hood

Also if you have money you should order the struts now cause they are built as they are ordered, mine took 14 weeks but well worth the wait

That won't leave much room for a longer shock unless you cut through the hood or run a shorter shock mine works out to roughly 7 inches of lift on 40s and I have just a few inches till the towers are to the hood

im guessing a 3-4" stretch in each direction wont make a difference with it
