    yes they can. But you have to press in new wheel bearings and get the hubs for it.

    the bearings are a MAJOR PITA from what i have read.

    I don't care what anyone says. Air bumps put less stress on a lower than a rubber bump.

    doesn't it have to do with the TC kit not having a strike pad?

    Really? I didn't know this. I was thinking of cutting off the factory bumpstop mount and putting the hydro in the same spot

    ok, so heres my plan...

    since im dropping my fuel pump into the Jazz cell i have, i went ahead and picked up 2 OEM "gaskets" that seal the pump to the OEM gas tank. im going to be sandwiching said gasket between the plastic cell and the cell lid, then another between the cell lid and the "plate" that the pump is attached to. what do you think ?

    To many layers , you only need to seal the pump to the plastic can , cut the metal lid hole larger so it's out of your way
