    Just curious if a set of 2nd gen (2011) front struts, rear shocks and UCA's will fit on my 3rd gen (2017). These are all OEM parts. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes they should physically fit. But the spring rate of the coils will be less than yours and you'll likely lose a bit of ride height. I believe the 2nd gens have ~580lb coils and the 3rd gens use 700lb or something like that. The 3rd gens are heavier in the front. So it'll definitely ride smoother, but I don't know if that will be too soft or not.
