    Yeah, tried rotating, they should all be the same, they are all short, about 3 1/8th on center on the stock set, my foxes are about 3 1/2 on center... Guy I got them from said they were from a 2013 sr5......

    Well THAT'S weird. They should bolt right up I'd think. Also 2013 or 2016? You said both.

    I did find a pic on here of the two side by side and the diff is obvious. Dont think you have 5 lugs.

    Do you know if the previous owner had a spacer lift on his truck? The only thing i can think of is that maybe they swapped out the top hats for one that was compatible with a spacer of some sort.. cant say ive ever seen this though, it seems like all the spacers just bolt right on top of the top plate itself

    FYI, those are first gen struts (at least the top hats). Top hats are flat and stud pattern is different (smaller) as you found out.
