What is the difference between 5th and 6th gen rear dampers?
I know the fronts are the same but someone said that the rears are a little different where the damper is attached to the LCA. Is it a wider stance on the 6th gen or vice versa? is there any way to swap the shocks from a 5th gen to a 6th gen or vice versa? Thanks guys!

the 5th gen LCA bushing is bigger than the 6th gen. so you'll need to shave the bushing down if you're swapping onto a 5th gen.

the 6th gen LCA is longer than the 5th gen, so it can't be swapped. just put some washers on either side of the bushing on the 6th gen LCA. that should work.
