Yes, it fits fine. The whole shock/spring assembly is identical other than the spring rates and maybe damping rates. But the suspensions are completely interchangable. The only difference is that the front dampers on a 4th gen have little brackets to hold the ABS lines. If you use 5th gen dampers on a 4th gen, just zip tie the ABS lines.

You can also just knock the ring off with the ABS holders off the 4th gen shocks with a hammer, then attach them to the 5th gen shocks...that's what I did
