[QUOTE="Canuck714, post: 1208181, member: 6707"] I'm guessing the longer shock body length may limit your up travel with the stock control arm and upper mount. The shock will be partially compressed to fit in the Gen 1. take the springs off both shocks and cycle them to get actual shock shaft travel numbers before you try cramming a longer shock on there. If you can, measure the total shock length (eyelet to eyelet) on both, then the shaft stroke. You may be able to get this to work with aftermarket upper control arm, as they will let the arm drop out more. Like others have said, disconnect the sway bay end link to get more arm travel.
