Im thinking about buying some struts off a stock 08 tundra for my 95.5 tacoma .. does anyone know if they will fit and if they do will they give me any lift

 

I am going to strongly go with a nope on that one. Not 100% sure, but the new taco and 4runner suspension doesn't work on the older tacos and 3rd gen runners.

 

I would almost guarantee that they will not work, first of all the top plates off the 99-06 Tundras does not even fit the Tacoma/4Runner. If the compressed/extended length is not the same or similar to the 4Runner/Tacoma you risk serious damage to struts,A-arms, CV axles, and tires. However I have no idea, but wouldn't doubt the the springs might be able to be used.

 

My suggestion is if you have the money and are willing to experiement with this then try it. SOMEONE had the idea to put Tundra calipers/rotors to fix the rotor warping problems. Should you decide to do this and it works then post up a write-up. Other examples are the deck plate mod and the rear differential breather mods. A few members here have even put front Tacoma lifts and apparently it works well. Just because some people "aren't 100% sure it won't work" doesn't mean it won't.

 

The coils will work, as well as the shocks, but, the top-plates are not the same diameter. You'll need to swap the top-plates, and you'll be fine. You should probably see a 1-2" lift...

 

I am just curious if you have looked at the length of them, and it they are similar to the 4Runner/Old Tundra, what would be the benefit over something that knowingly works, say older Tundra parts. I am not trying to be mean, just raising the question.

 

thanks for all the help.. its not worth the trouble.. thank you thoght for the info it did help.. -vince

 

could always do some and some
