04 4dr shocks and suspension on an 03 sport?

[GrizzlyAdams]

Hello yall my buddy has an 04 4dr that he is selling for parts, I have an 03 sport and my shocks are bad. Can I rob the shocks and suspension parts off his (if all still in good shape) andnput them on mine? Are they compatible? I have one person telling me no, one person telling me yes, and one person telling me he doesn't know. Sorry if this has already been asked and answered. I couldn't find it if it was.

No. 2002-05 (Gen 3) four doors use struts. 2003 and earlier two door Sports use shocks.

Your 2003 Sport is based on the 1995-01 (Gen 2) platform and is the correct sub forum. BTW, 2001-03 Sports have the exact same front end as 2001-05 Sport Tracs with the exception of early build 2001 Sport Trac Job 1 engines.
