probally so, but WHY? Tundra TRD Springs are better and also have a higher spring rate than the Taco ones. Put taco springs on a Tundra and you'll bounce around like riding on marshmellows.

Oh, there is always a way to make something fit. But like Andy said-WHY? Why would you want to put springs from a lighter truck on a heavier truck?

Well.. i emailed rancho and their reply was that the part number that the seller gave me was for a tacoma. thats y. im getting the parts today and i dont know whether or not to put them in. the springs look STOCK to me.. link is on the first post.

then get your money back. either from the seller or e-bay. that is a false description. I wouldn't run Taco springs on a Tundra

OK, now I see your dilemma. They look like stock coils to me, too. Rancho comes in red so maybe those are stock Toyota OEM springs, but from what truck?
