    alright you experts, need your input:

    Will Off Road Bilstein (OEM) shocks and springs fit a 2012 SR5 4Runner?

    from my understanding, the front ends of the taco and fj are brothers, the front ends of the taco and 4r are cousins.

    I would go to the dealer and see if they could tell you. they probly wont. or call a coil manufacturer and see if they are the same pn between 4r and taco. do the same with the front shocks.

    the rear ends of all three vehicles are quite different from what I have heard.

    none of this info comes from personal experience, but just based on what I read and understand

    92dlxman, thanks for breaking it down for me. i called the parts department at my local dealer and they said it wouldn't work. the T4R forum recommended boing bilstein 5100 since the 4R is heavier and the spring rate will change.
