PaxPower does V8 Raptor conversions. They mention in the intro video that they use the Gen2 shocks in the rear, but had to use Gen1 struts up front because the front frame is slightly different on the Raptor.

In order to run the shocks you would need

gen1 shocks
gen 2 axles, UCA, LCA, probably TRE as well.

This is all a vague memory, and is probably wrong.

Its not as easy as buying the shocks and slapping them on.

Yeah Gen2 shocks won't work from what I understand you'll have to use Gen1's along with what he mentioned for the different geometry and track width (UCA's, LCA's, axles, TRE's, few other minor things to clean up the install as well)
