will 03 stock leafs with a toytec AAL fit on a 97 taco?

im going to buy stock leafs with a AAL from a buddy and installing them mine are frowning. i was wondering if there was any change between the 03 and the 97. thanks!

also will bilstein 5125s work too? thanks!

 

I don't think they will fit as-is, I think up to 97 the rear's are shorter than 98-2004's. Could be wrong, maybe it's the 96's that changed?
EDIT: I take that back, maybe it was 95 that changed, if so the 97's should work for you.

 

hmm.... does anyone else know a for sure on this so i dont buy them and try to put them on and get pissed? lol

 

Pretty sure it's 95.5 and up, read this: http://www.edmunds.com/toyota/tacoma/history.html

 

butttt... look at thishttp://www.wheelersoffroad.com/tacoleafs.htm

95-97 98-04?

 

95-97 are 51", 98-04 are 55" inches so I'm told.

I bought stock leaf's mfg by a company called Dorman. They were a lot less expensive than anything else I found for my truck.

Amazon has it for $108 shipped, only one left though.. There is another company selling them for $125... so there are two. If yours is 4wd you would need the 929-400 I believe.

 

thanks!

 

95.5-97 leafs are shorter than 98-2004

they will NOT fit

 

thank you!
