I don't remember the part number but I've had the Gibson exhaust on my '92
since 1994 without any fitment issue. Check out www.autoanything.com
They don't list any fitment info as far as I can see. Another source might
be the Gibson site itself. AFAIK, all gen 2 Daks had both shocks behind
the axle.
