    Will they fit? From some searching, it appears that the top hats are the same.
    Thanks

    Just put a set of shocks and struts from a gen 3 onto my 09 taco. Easy job if swaybar links remove easy. Mine had to be cut off.

    Can't wait for UCAs to arrive so I can see how it is.

    I got a set a of 3rd gen coils off of a trd sport from a fellow member.
    Now, if I just install these without doing anything in the rear, I'm pretty sure it'll reverse the rake with the front end being higher than the rear. Not what I'm looking for; in fact, I'm trying to avoid that completely especially when the boat trailer is hooked up.
    Any recommendations whether I should go single or 3 leaf progressive? I'll probably need extended length shocks as well.
    Suspension and lifts are not my forté, so any advice is appreciated.
    TIA

    Got them on my 15. Have the coil over plus a 1/2 spacer up front and a single leaf in the rear. If the single wasn't in the leaf pack already I would have went progressive.

    I have an 07 DCLB TRD Sport. 5100s on the 3rd ring. ( 2nd highest from top ) with stock coils.
    Stock uca worked fine. Was able to get it aligned by adjusting the camber on the lower control arm to almost the maximum to get about +0.2 deg camber. If you use the top ring, then you'd likely need UCA to further adjust camber.

    Outstanding! what was the overall outcome of it how much lift? Ride stiffness? and if you could have a choice of offroad coils or sport coils on them which would you go with? If they are different. Reason I ask is they are both sitting there waiting for a decision.

    Also to add the coils are from a 2017 trd sport again on the 1.75 setting on 5100s.
