Yeah, it'll fit. Good luck with the install and with getting the bolts loose.

How many times do I have to explain it?!? j/k

Get a torch and some WD-40 and you should be all set. Just WD-40 the bolt, then heat it with the torch, obviously being careful since the WD-40 is FLAMMABLE. Heat it for a good 30-45 seconds. Then try to get it off. It may take a couple of tries, but it has always worked for me. And try as much as you can not to break any of the bolts. I know that the trailing arm-to-suspension bolts are about $10 a piece.
