    Hi everyone! I recently purchased an '16 TRD Sport. Will be replacing with most likely Bilstein 5100's or OME's. Will my front and rear shocks take off's fit on a 08 Taco? Thanks in advance! Have a great night!

    Yeah, I never saw any measurable difference in suspension all thru the 2nd gen years or 1st gen for that matter...I'll bet I can take a set of 3rd gen U bolts & loop them over a 1st gen axle & be just fine...

    Thanks guys! My friend has an '08 with 138k on it and wanted my Bilstein's. It's going to be fun tearing his suspension apart!
