I am using a stock style KYB stabilizer with mine. I would think 4th gen should work as well but I'm not sure. With you planning to run a Borgeson box you will have to cut about 1/2 inch off the pitman arm tie rod threads to get your steering wheel straight since the Borgeson box is shifted over towards the passenger side vs the stock box.

im not really following lol where exactly am i going to have to cut lol and how do you like the borgeson box anyway i pm'd you right after i made this thread then i was like hes probably gonna see the thread anyway lol sorry bout that i just wanna have all the facts

I like the Borgeson so far. Definitely better than the wore out box it replaced. The Borgeson is a delphi box that has been modified to mount up on a 2nd gen and it shifts the pitman arm towards the passenger side about 3/8 to 1/2 inch. Since the 4th gen linkage is a little longer than 2nd gens, with a Borgeson box installed you won't have enough adjustment on the drag link to be able to center the steering wheel. So when or if you put a Borgeson on you will have to take the pitman arm tie rod out of the adjusting sleeve and cut about a 1/2 inch off on the threaded end.
