I think the A-arms are different, otherwise the rest is essentially the same.

A arm mounts, steering stem stoppers and lower rear cross mount bracing are the 3 differences between '87 and later models.

no you will be fine, just make sure you have the top of the a arms for the other frame
life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sidays totally worn out shouting "HOLY SH*T...WHAT A RIDE!"
