Bill,
    the simpleset thing to do is measure it out... as for width, tires
hanging out it should hurt anything, should improve on rear stability in
GenII IMHO. I think we talked about this a week ago or so, that the front
end on GenII is a couple inches wider then the rear as well.
I too had thought about this, stealing GenIII axles for my GenII, but then
Im back in the same boat im in now, expensive lifts(I do not want just a
body lift) and a frontend setup that just looks nasty with all the garbage
hangin down to ground...
