    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?

    Those are 4 Rear shocks. I dont see the front coilovers in the pic. So, you'll need to get the front coilovers.

    I picked up a set of those yellow struts for free last week. Gonna be hard for my friend to get springs on so I'm gonna buy a set of struts with the springs still on for $100 next week.

    Its definitely very difficult to get a set of struts installed onto a tundra. But if he does, it'll likely be a world's first
