    They didn't tell me specifically why they wouldn't fit, they said probably cv axles are different but I've talked to quite a few tundra owners who still installed the same shocks and they fit well.

    They probably just looked up the part # and it said TRD pro only and they aren’t allowed to say it’ll fit other models. They only go by what the oem parts catalog says.

    Timsp8 Thank you......I believe that you are correct, I already installed the shock absorbers and I already broke a cv axle boot and I already checked the installation I did and they are correctly, only that I could not distinguish which is the right or left

    There were a couple of threads on here about left or right coilovers. Something about a colored paint dot on them. Did yours have that?

    I think that you have your answer.
    In the video that @PotroRR posted, it can be seen in one of the shots that there is an "L" on one of the coilovers. Make of that what you will. ;)
