    The front I have no idea... but the rears I believe would require you to widen/pry open the lower shock mounts or shave some of the lower bushing down on the shocks themselves or a little of both. The aftermarket rear shocks I got are for a tundra (so i was told) and that's what I had to do. The shocks I have might apply to first gen tundras though.

    Lift is totally relevant to spring height, not shock height.

    But to answer your question, no I don't think it will fit, but take the stuff anyways and check to be sure.
