    Picked up TRD suspension from a 2016 tundra for $40 off Craigslist and was wondering if there would be any issues swapping it to my 2008...

    Also not sure about what coil springs to get. Any suggestions?

    wow what a deal it looks barely used
    I’m pretty sure it should fit on the 08

    It looks like there are 2 sets of rear shocks and 2 sets of spindles - no front shocks. $40 is a great deal! I doubt the spindles will work on a 2008 - Toyota changed these between 2015 and 2016. There are always people looking for spindles to add gussets to so you can always resell these and easily cover what you paid for all parts.

    I’m not really sure yet. My trucks already leveled but current shocks really need to be replaced

    Sell the spindles. Sell the set of rear trd's to @CaptSpaulding. And put you some 6112's up front and the trd's in the rear.Just my opinion of course :D
