No change in dimensions but watch out for 2wd vs 4wd, the spring mounts are different. If you have 4wd the gear ratio must match. If the '04 has rear disc brakes then you may have to do some adapting for the park brake cables. You also may have issues with brake balancing.

U-joints may be different.
