Cruzer vs STOL Gear Springs

Are the Gear Springs for the Cruzer (P/N: C75L2-1 Main Gear Spring) and the STOL (P/N: 75L2-1 Tundra Main Gear Spring) the same?

They have different part numbers/names but I know Zenith has been moving towards more commonality amongst parts.  The build guide for the Cruzer actually shows the STOL part number and some of the pictures for mounting the gear are of a STOL.

If they are not the same, what are the differences and are they bolt-off/bolt-on interchangeable?

The STOL landing gear is taller than the Cruzer gear to facilitate the tundra tires.  From what I understand the STOL gear is generally compatible with the Cruzer.  There may be some small details between the two as far as compatibility, but a number of people have installed STOL gear and tires on their Cruzer successfully.

Thanks.  That's what I'm thinking of doing.  I knew the nose gear strut is slightly different to accommodate a larger fork for the larger wheel/tire but wasn't sure about the main gear.
