'00 Tundra Springs on my '91 4Runner?

There's some fronts shocks & springs of a 2000 Tundra for pretty cheap, my front ones are two different brands and need to be replaced(stupid previous owner...). Will the tundra shocks fit, or should I look elsewhere?
Oh yeah, it's just a pretty much stock '91, I've got 31s, no lift or anything special. Yet.

91 4Runner Uses a Torsion bar front suspension
00 Tundra uses Coilovers

No, you cannot use the tundra parts on the 91.

Aww damn. Hmm....any ideas as to what I can do for a relatively cheap, decent shock? I generally go with used stuff, just cause I can usually get a good deal. Is there any general rule as to what'll fit and what wont, besides stuff from other 4Runners?

Why the hell would you ever put a used shock (unless its high performance) on a vehicle? There is cheap...then there is just plain stupid. Go buy a cheap set of Procomp es3000's (or similar) and be done with it.

If you are really set on being a cheapo, anything from 86-95 4x4 will work.

Got it. Idea would be hopefully to get a high performance sort of thing if at all possible.
Looks like I'll probably save up for a bit and get new ones. Sounds like Procomp is the way to go....?

I don't like my ProComps. They do not mix well with OME springs.

Rancho's are CHEAP and somewhat effective but not as good as OME
