Yes, 3rd gen Tacoma up front. You can usually find them pretty easily on FB Marketplace. You'll need to decide your mileage threshold but people often swap out their suspensions pretty soon after buying the vehicle so finding one with lower mileage (say 10K or less) shouldn't be too much trouble. They're plug and play on 4th Gens so the install is pretty simple and of course the coilovers are already assembled so that will save you a lot of time and trouble.
For the rear, the Bilstein 4600 or 5100 work well. You can certainly use the Tacoma rear shocks if you're willing to swap out the bushings but Bilstein's offerings that are 4Runner specific are noticeably beefier. As for springs, all I've had are the OEM FJ springs I put on so I can't comment on other brands. At least one aftermarket set (I want to say Moog?) has presented fit problems. You'll want to research that if you decide to buy aftermarket.
