The attachment points on both ends of the 99 and earlier have eyes on both ends with bolts that go through them where the later ones have a straight bolt on one end that goes through a hole In the frame with a couple of rubber bushings. I know this is probably as clear as mud, but I do not think you can make the earlier ones fit on the newer ones.
