5/8 inch or 3/4 inch inside diameter on those bushings?

Also, did the Tacoma shocks work with the existing (stock) 4Runner rear coils?

Thanks!

I just did the toyota tacoma trd front struts and coil springs along with a 3" spacer . Would i need new UCAs ? I read on many post from this site before i bought it. Thanks for the help

Dumb question. I have the Daystar 1" front and 1.5" rear for 4th gen 4runner (not installed yet). If i swap out to Tacoma suspension, I can still use the Daystar spacers for the front, right?

Hi,

Not sure if anyone is still watching this thread, but I got 2019 Tacoma shocks and struts for my 2007 4Runner with xreas. Scrapped the xreas today and went to put on the rear shocks but the upper bushings were too small. I replaced the lower bushings and those for fine, but the upper bushings with the blistein shocks are about 1/8 inch to small for the opening in the frame. The xreas mount is the right diameter but it doesn’t fit on the new shock as it isn’t made for a round stem. The ones that came on the blisteins seem really small. Did anyone else have this happen?

Thanks

I did the Tacoma swap a couple of years ago with gear from a ‘15 TRD Offroad edition and had no installation issues.

Nice work!

Have a set of shocks and struts from a 2020 TRD Offroad and also have a pair of 2 inch lift radflo fj rear springs (C1500-500-220) that I am going to install. I was wondering how much lift I would get in total and what size front spacer would I need to level it out if I need one at all. I am gonna install the rears myself and have a shop install the fronts for me so I would like him to just toss on the spacers as well to save me some time and hassle. This is going on a V6 2WD.

Stumbled upon a set of 3gen tacoma take offs my set and ordered the bushings. When I got the bushings this afternoon I was shocked to see there was no sleeve in the middle. Surely you don't reuse the old sleeve? TIA

There’s no sleeve. From my install:
