2000 Tundra TRD suspension, direct bolt on?

[c0mmon]

I think this is a stupid question but I could not find anything in the suspension

I know someone with a wrecked 2000 Tacoma TRD with blistens/suspension in great condition.

This is a bolt on? Offers a mild lift yes? Any concerns?

Is it a Tundra or Tacoma?

You can use the TRD springs with the proper strut and perch setting.

sorry if wrong, it is a Taco.

I am talking front assembly/rear strut/spring

I don't think it will work then dude. Their lift kits have different part numbers.

From what I remember, fronts yes, rears no.

You will need to adjust the angle on the front struts too, Taco front struts have about a 15 degree angle difference once bolted up from 4Runner ones. This can be solved using a large pry bar.

Pry bar=bending it? Please explain-

Okay, I can't find the picture that explains it so let me try.

Say you had an aerial view of the Taco front struts - if you looked at the back two studs on the top hat of the strut, you could run a straight line from one side to the other and contact all 4 studs.

On the 4Runner, those struts are turns inwards toward the center of the truck by about 15 degrees.

What this means is - if you put a Taco strut on a 4Runner, the lower mount won't line up, you need a large pry bar to turn the strut, or my preferred way, use a spring compressor to relieve spring tension and line things up before install.

makes perfect sense, does this compromise rigidity or is it designed for this type of movement?

If you're worried about it compromising something use the right parts.
