This question gets asked all the time, but nobody seems to follow through and try them out to give us an answer. But my $0.02 is why try to make something else work when they make the exact part you are looking for? IMO, if the '97+ keys will work on a '96 or older, then they would market one pair of keys for '87-'04 rather than 2 seperate pairs.

I had the ones on my truck that are specifically made for my truck. They're long gone now. I really didn't ever like them much. They stiffen up the suspension beyond a useable amount... in other words, the front end is too stiff and won't flex. I now have a dana 44 solid axle sitting under my truck with 25 inch free length coil springs and a custom built 3 link. I haven't finished the swap yet so I haven't been able to drive it, but I can already tell it will be a smoother ride and articulate much better.

My honest opinion is that independant front suspension is not designed to be lifted for offroad use.
