    I can't say for sure one way or the other. My struts are stock tundra 5100s and they fit. If I have to say one way or another I would say a tundra lift strut would not fit, mostly due to length. The way I understand it is running stock trd strut/spring gets a 2 inch lift.

    Sorry I can't be more helpful.

    What? Are you taking some drugs that we should know about?

    And don't pretend like my occasional shit talk affects anything. You guys have been giving me shit since day one which is fine. I really don't care. And yeah, I don't know how to do a head gasket, yet. I'm learning how to do it, so give a guy a break. Considering this time 2 years ago I didn't know what a 3/8 drive ratchet or even how to do a proper oil change I think I've made decent progress. Still better than a large portion of our country.

    And yes I know old does not equal classic. I don't consider it classic because of that. I consider it classic because I see the looks on people's faces when they see it. A lot of those people associate that car with their child hood because of things like Knight Rider. To me that's classic

    Maybe a little. Just not a big fan of being underestimated.

    And that's your opinion and I respect that. Definitely would not consider all things of the 80s classic. Just certain things that have connections like the one I mentioned before. The Delorian is an 80s car and most people consider it classic.
    Lol thanks bro :cheers:

    We all love each other, we're just having a friendly argument like a normal disfunctional family :drunk:

    The bottom mount with the bolt is identical. It is also important to use a tundra top plate, as the tundra coils are a little wider and will not seat right on the plate.

    What the hell is up with GCU? You're like the third person I've heard of in the last month that went to GCU for a short period of time and then couldn't go there anymore and has to work really hard to pay them off.

    I can still go there, just don't know that I want to anymore. Place is annoying as hell with all its stupid strict rules. My friend Brandon (@SanTanValleyDirt) who goes to ASU hated it and complained every time he came to visit
