    Buddy of mine got rear ended in his 2018 Tundra last week. Truck is looking like it is a goner, frame kinked, bed is toast and smacked the cab.
    About 3 months ago he got Icon upper arms, King 2.5 resi coilovers, rear springs and King 2.5 resi rear shocks put on it.

    To make a long story short, I can have the Kings off the truck if I can swap my high mile, need rebuilt Icons onto his truck so that it is complete when it is hauled off.

    Are they the same? (length, tophats, mounting)?
    I know Tacomas but I do not know Tundras.
    FWIW, I have TC uniball upper arms and OME Dakkar rear springs on the Tacoma.

    ETA: I know the spring rate would be different between a stock Tundra and Tacoma. I have 700lb springs on mine to account for the winch bumper and skids.

    Absolutely nothing is compatible. Put it up for sale.

    Hope your buddy is ok if it was big enough to total the truck!

    Bummer.

    Buddy is fine, his wife is a bit sore and he is bummed about the loss of his truck.
    I have him looking into what the buyback is on it. If it is dirt cheap (doubtful) it would be a great starting point for a linked, caged, long travel truck. Everything from the back of the cab forward is perfect.
