Yes they will fit. I think they are slightly stronger due to the long cutout that is there to clear the piece in the LS2 block and the wider flange at the top.

I don't really think there is a Gen IV lifter tray, I think its just an updated design. Like said above, they do fit.

i think the only difference is the ls2 buckets have grooves that line up in the ls2 blocks.

Yeah found out there is no difference between the LS1 and LS2 lifter buckets, ther are the same besides the notches-lines in them.
