rear is a direct swap and i'd guess a lot of the front end parts will swap as well

The rear end will bolt up, but you will have to do some handy work to get the e-brake to work.

The rear is a direct bolt-in, except that it's almost 2" wider on each side.

Nothing in the front is a direct swapover. They're 2 completely different designs. However some of the brake parts can be made to fit with some machine work and fabrication.

Correct. 4th gens are a coil over set-up and 3rd gens use struts.
