    Will 2022 Tacoma TRD OR shocks fit my stock 2002 3rd gen with 17” wheels?
    They are Bilstein’s and I’m not sure about the model #’s in the pics.
    Thanks!

    Short answer, no they won't. The fronts are way to long (would raise the front your 02 +4" or more), as for the rear shocks I'm not sure.

    Thanks! Shocks is one area I don’t have much experience.
    As much as my son would like the 4” lift, looks like these will not work. They were offered on CL for $200 locally & I figured I would look into them.
    Will probably go with Bilstein 5100’s in the near future.

    The Bilstein 5100’s will defiantly be an upgrade compared to these in my opinion

    First gen tundra struts give you 3-3.5 inches of lift and are stiff enough to get rid of the front sway bar because ifs is not independent if there connected.
