Tacoma bilstein same as Fj?

[kwhoadley]

Found a local sale of bilstein shocks with coils still on the front.
They are coming off of a 2011 Tacoma.
With this result in the same lift as the Fj 5100s?

The fronts will swap right over, and will give a little more lift than the FJs. The rear shocks will fit, but require you to swap out the lower bushings. The Tacoma uses leaf spring for the rear so you'll have to stick with stock coils or find an alternative.

OME's are probably the cheapest rear coils if he already has everything else.

Hi ARK, sorry to beat a dead horse here but just for clarity.

If I was to buy a full set of TACOMA 07 TRD prerunner Shocks, Struts, and Coils. I know i'd have to get some new bushings to make the rear shocks fit, but I didn't know about the rear springs. So I need to source some other rear springs? Any recommendations for most bang for buck? Can i do FJ rear springs and tacoma everything else?

Thanks!

If you can find the FJ rears, that's probably what I'd suggest (Tacoma shocks, Tacoma front coils, and FJ rear coils). You also can use any of the aftermarket coils for the 4runner (Superflex, SAW, OME, etc).
