    Question: I bought 2021 TRD 4Runner takeoff front coilovers ,rear shocks and springs including A arms for cheap. Will this fit my 04 4Runner without any problem? would it give me any lift on it?
    I heard they should fit ok. anyone out there know for sure? Thanks

    Late reply here, but yes, it will all fit, except the front lower strut bushings are wider on a 5th gen than a 4th, so you'll either need to grind down the center sleeve to make it fit, or widen out the lower mount for the wider bushings to fit in

    Thank you! Do you know if it will give the front any lift?

    If it's a V6, no, unless your old suspension is pretty worn out, you might gain 1" or so. If you have a V8, you'll lose height because the 5th gens are all V6's and the V8 is heavier
