Lightbulb Tundra Shocks/Struts on stock Gen3 Coils

I'm not finding any previous advice or an exact answer so I thought I would ask.

I'm planning to lift my T4R this summer but the truck needs new shocks and struts now, (original Toyota set with 200k).

I already has a set of 2002 Tundra struts and shocks (HD Billsteins yellow/blue). Just to get me by until I buy new coils can I use these with my factory Gen3 coils (so tundra struts and rear shocks).

you won't get a lift with those combo. if you want to lift your truck using the stock 4Runner coils, you'll need the bilstein 5100 height adjustable shocks:

Thanks for the feedback, I'm Ok waiting on lift until I can purchase the LC rears and Tundra front coils. I guess I wondering if the Tundra shocks and struts I already have will cause any height or travel length issues with the stock T4R coils.

ooops, sorry for that. I misread your query.
There will be no issues with using those shocks. However, the shocks are valved differently from the stock 3rd gen 4Runner shocks so expect a firmer ride.
