    Yes, they should fit. They really didn't change up the suspension components.

    Is there an advantage to running these? I’m looking to pickup 3rd gen suspension and they are throwing in UCAs with the front / rear shocks and front coils assembled for $200

    Aftermarket UCAS will give you more caster. Keeps the alignment in spec. Also they are much stronger than stock and will give you more droop travel.

    for 200 bucks its likely all stock stuff.

    Id only bother to replace the stock UCA with another stocker if your current one has bad bushings or a wornout balljoint.

    FYI the only thing that will not be able to be swapped suspension wise between a 2nd and 3rd gen is the LCA. 3rd gens use a larger rear LCA bolt (same one as the 4th gen 4 runner and 2nd gen FJ)

    Will the 3gen leaf springs fit a 2nd gen? And is there any advantage to this?

    Father in law has a 2nd gen and was wandering if I could give them to him?
