Identifying Springs
Hey everyone, I've been looking at getting a shock/strut/spring lift for my 3rd gen and have been scouring all over for some things to save me a few bucks.

I found a listing on FB for a pair of RCD front struts for 140$ but he's throwing in two sets of springs, but doesn't know what they are.
I'm thinking the fronts look like they're the TRD coils but I might be wrong


Can anyone identify these, and are they a good deal?

The color coding on them indicates trd springs, which is what I have (Tundra) springs yellow and blue.

I'm wondering what rear springs those are. They seem to be 7 wraps so possibly LC springs?

I'm not sure either, but I guess we'll see when I go pick them up, if I get all this for 140 and then find a decent deal on rear 5100s I've got a good lift for under 350$

As JoeT4R mentioned, those are the correct color codes for the front TRD Tundra springs. What color codes are on the rear springs? Those don't look like the LC springs to me. Maybe 99 talls?

all the pictures on the listing didn't have any colors, so i'll see when I get there, worst case I can sell those off and get something else if it's not what I want.

The seller said he presumes that they're 2.5" lift springs but doesn't know much else about them

Just picked them up, he couldn't find the rears so I just bought the front coils and the shocks for 80$

I'm now not 100% sure if they're tundra coils either...One is Blue/Yellow but the other is Blue/Brown

Not a huge deal if they're not TRDs as I got such a good deal on the shocks that I don't mind

Whatever spring you choose, just make sure you are using the matching isolator - I think the Tundra's are different than T4R?

Thanks, Patrick! Guess we'll see what they really are when I try them on this spring.

Agreed. I wasn't 100% sure so it was a shot in the dark. Very well could be 99 tall springs or even something totally different.
