Bilstein question

[Lugo Runner]

Will Bilsteins off an 18 Tacoma fit my 05 4runner with no mods? I would search but on my way to work. Here are the specs.

I know they'll fit an '06-'09 so presumably they'll fit an '05 too (anyone who knows differently, please chime in). You will need to remove the rear shock lower mount bushings that fit a Tacoma and install bushings that fit a 4th gen. There's a thread about that here and my post on doing the swap from a '15 Tacoma TRD Offroad to my '07 may be helpful too.

I'll be doing this swap again soon as I just picked up coilovers, shocks, & UCAs from a '20 Tacoma TRD Offroad. Happy to answer any questions you have.

If they’ll fit 06-09, then they’ll also fit 03-05.

Figured as much, thanks.

Now we can move on to other critical issues, for example whether it's pronounced "Bil-steen" or "Bil-stine." :wink2:

All signs point towards "Bil-stine" like Frankenstein, Einstein, Steinway piano, but I like to say "Bil-steen" haha

That's hilarious because that's the same understanding I have along with the same inclination to say "-steen." LOL

LOL, thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it.

Yes. I have 2019s under my 2003 right now.

I had two separate salesmen at two different Toyota dealerships pronounce it "Bliss teen". Like, maybe read the word a little closer, boys...

Bill Steen and I ain't hearing a word to the contrary.

But on a serious note, I always had that argument in my head lol.
