    Hello all, first time posting long time info grabber. I’ve read all the post reguarding the switching suspension but had a few more questions before I make the purchase off market place.

    My 2008 TRD off road

    Front struts PN from Toyota
    48510-A9630
    Rear springs
    48530-A9340
    Rt Leaf
    48210-04650

    23 TRD off road parts I wanna put on.
    Struts 48510-04190
    Rear springs 48530-04110
    Rt Leaf 48210-04603.
    Both trucks are 5’ bed

    I realize there is a liability issue and the dealer won’t confirm the part swap. But I just want to be sure these part will bolt right up, as I can’t return the take off parts.

    I also plan to install an Icon add a leaf in the back because I do tow a camper all over the place in the summer. I also recently bought a leer legend cap that has caused a bunch of sag.

    Do I need new upper control arms or can I use my old ones?
    If for some reason I don’t use the add a leaf, will my truck sag with the cap on it? Kinda want the ass end to sit up an inch or so…. Thanks for any tips

    Hi thanks for the info I’ve read that thread already. Is there anyone out there that can confirm these 23 TRD part numbers will fit my 08 TRD?

    I did it on my 15. I'm 99% sure you're gtg. 3rd Gen trucks are the same exact trucks almost aside from the drive train.

    Yes I didn't change mine. They're literally the same coil overs but you get a slight bit more lift.

    I have Toyota Tacoma Prerunner 2015
    So completely safe put leaf springs, shocks and struts from TRD 2023?
    I don't need lift, just better suspension. This leaf springs okay, or for heavy load something better?
