2013 tacoma TRD coilovers on 3rd gen?

[alaskafisherman]

As title states, will 2013 tacoma TRD coilovers possibly fit on my 97 4runner? I found a set of bilsteins for a good price.. And am looking for some lift if possible.

Thanks.

They will not.

Do not mount those coilovers on a 3rd gen 4Runner. They will collapse.

Mind if I ask why they will collapse? they look heavy duty, not much differrent then my current Coilovers

It's due to the length. They're too long for our trucks. If you look at the bottom eye-mount, you'll see a long piece of metal before the actual chamber of the shock begins.
