Lift and shock questions

[confyushus]

Hey everyone, I have been lurking around for a while and finally need to ask a question. I searched but couldn't find the exact answer I was looking for. I have a 97 4runner v6 with 5spd, and when I save up enough I am planning on getting Tundra TRD front coils and OME 890 rears. I want to run Bilstein 5100s front (on the 2nd notch) and rear, and as I understand it, I will need 5100s that fit a Tundra to fit the TRD coils, ones for a 4runner will not work with them. If I order a complete set of 5100s (front and rear) for a tundra, will the rear shocks fit my 4runner? I am looking for around 3" of lift, I know the TRD coils are about 2.5" lift, but I tow some and will have a dirtbike carrier on the back so it should level out. I also will be running 33/1250-15 tires. If anyone can see any problems or suggestions with this setup, please let me know. Thanks for all the help ahead of time!

No the rear 5100's bushing is too small, it is only .5" and it needs to be like 3/4", I went with 5100's in the front and tokio treckmasters in the rear, the ride is great and the rear shocks are cheaper then the bilsteins.

The bushings on the Tundra Bilsteins are smaller than the 4runner ones?

My Sonoran Steel rear lift came with black tokico toyota landcruiser oem shocks. Part number on shock is: 48531-60430

tundra 5100 rears will work on a 3rd gen 4runner, got mine paired with LC 8 wrap. P# BE5-A014-H5 the shock eye bushing has to be pressed out on the tundra 5100 and replaced with Daystar bushings p# KU08007 or Energy Suspension #98108R.

So basically, the easiest option for me would be to get the tundra front 5100s to go with the trd coils, and just order the 4runner 5100s from toytec so I can just bolt them right in. Sounds easy enough.

No, I meant using the rear 5100s from toytec that are designed for the 4runner, but I found a good deal on a full set of tundra bilstein 5100s so I might go that route and change the bushings like t4runner604 said. Unless I am misunderstanding and the rears just wont work at all (too short/long).
