Can a 2020 TRD suspension fit my 2012 base 4x4?

Hello everyone,

I'm new to second gen but not new to Toyota truck. I've had first gen Tacoma and Tundra before and love them.

As the title said. I have a chance to purchase this set, all 4 corner shocks and UCA.

Let me know what you think, thank you.

 

The front and rear shocks should fit, not sure about the uca's. I think you'll even get a small lift up front.

 

If you have the 6 lug Tacoma, yes they will fit. Front will give you about an inch of lift.

uca will fit as well.

 

Thank you very much. This is great news!

Does it matter Hitachi vs Bilstein OEM shocks? I've noticed some are Bilstein and others are Hitachi.

 

The Tacoma trd off road came with the bilstein. They are considered more plush and soft.

the Tacoma trd sport came with the hitachi. They are more sporty and firm.

 

Really!!! I would of think the other way around but so glad I asked. Thank you so much!

 

It will also sit higher, 2020 suspension provides a 1" lift, ontop of regaining any sag you have.

Do it, its worth it.

 

post pictures if it ends up working out.

So, I bought a Sport set Not the TRD Off-road. I heard the sports are harder. How hard is hard anyone have some experience???

I don't want to spend several hours then to find out they are unbearable!

Thanks guys.
