    Does anyone know if shocks and struts from 2nd and 3rd gen Tacomas will fit my 2003? Lots of people sell take-offs cheap when they lift their trucks.

    As far as I know, I've never heard of anyone swapping 2nd/3rd gen shocks/springs for a first gen. The spring rates are different between these generations and I assume the shocks are set up for the weight of the larger/heavier trucks as well. But I could be wrong :notsure:
