Tundra Shocks

[Alphaq6000]

Does anyone know what year Tundra Shocks can fit a 1998 4WD 4-Runner? And is it as easy as just switching out the current shocks on the 4-Runner?

Gonzo is right, the FAQ will answer any if not all your questions regarding the Tundra Struts. Check it out, and if you have other questions, don't hesitate to ask. You can send me a Personal Message if you like, as I have undertaken this mod.

Thanks guys. @ Gonzo I well let you know if I have any questions? Do you guys have any suggestions on new shocks to look at?

For the front, I used complete Stock Tundra Strut assemblies. For the rear, I used SkyJacker 2.5" lift shocks. They ride ok, but I'm told rear Land cruiser shocks would have been better to go with my LandCruiser coils.....

I used the cheapest stock height Land Cruiser rear shocks from Rockauto and I love the way they ride. I'm pretty sure I ended up with about 4.5" of lift with my LC coils, I think you might be limiting your travel with only 2.5" lift 4Runner shocks...

I have been looking for the Tundra strut assemblies, and don't know what ones to get. No heights are specified for the 2WD or 4WD 2 door, but the 4WD 4 door has sizes specified from 13.7" to 14.29."

Which did you use? I have found a couple of leads for the 14.29" length.

I am looking to sell my front TRD Tokicos. I got them with purchase of SS 1.2 lift kit about 40k ago. They work great but I want to upgrade to the Billstien 5100 adjustable so I am making a change.

You would also need the Tundra springs. Combined they = 2.5" lift.

I will be posting a classified soon ... Should be listed as $75 each or half of what I bought them at. Currently located in San Diego.

I figured as much, but since I just bought those skyjackers a little over a year ago, I couldn't justify taking them out and replacing them. I honestly don't off-road that much, so travel is not that important for me. After smashing my bumper on my last trip, I may not be doing much off-roading in the future either. It gets expensive when you got to start replacing parts on a Daily Driver......

I do have to agree with you though, the LC shocks would most likely be a better fit for anyone running the LC coils.

Here's your best bet:

Call your local Toyota Parts department. Tell them you want the part numbers for the Coils and struts from a 2002 Tundra TRD 4X4 Access Cab. Once they give you those, ask them to tell you what other Tundra's did those part numbers belong to, and then do a search on E-bay :keyboard:, or search the wrecking yards for the parts.

Thanks for the tip, and I will post the results...

I think the answer to this question is no, but I want to be sure. Will the tundra coils fit on the stock 4runner struts? Cause I just recently replaced my struts with a nice set of KYB's, and Im wondering if I could just mount the Tundra coils on them.

Anyone answer my question?

quick question, are Ivan Stewart front coilovers off a 2000 tundra capable of what kind of lift on my 97 4runner? (similar to Tundra TRDS or no?)

Two unanswered questions here

Bump for my question.
