Not easily. I believe the overall length is different, as well as center pin to eyelet differences. Spring hanger relocation at the least.

Although you didn't state the year.

I think that they would also be way too firm. if you try it dont put the overload spring in.

My pickup is a '94 4x4. From what I understood about the T-100 is that toyota used the 4x4 frame and put a larger body on it with heavier springs and the 8in axle.

The t100 and pickup did share some parts, such as the front suspension and front differential, but differed quite a bit in the rear. From what I've found, the t100 springs are similar in length and pin location too a 98 and up tacoma 4x4. They also use the 8.4 rear diff found in the Tacoma and first gen tundra. I Thiink zpd is right in that those springs would probably be much too stiff for a pickup. I'll tell you that going from my '90 regular cab to my '98 t100 took a little getting used to.

Oh well I was hoping for a junkyard set of heavier springs for the rear, that would bolt right in. Thanks for the info.

I think my rear springs are like 55 inches. they are pretty long. And i know the t100 frame is wider and longer although it may be the same design. good luck with your build!
