Are the Trailhunter's springs different from other 4th gen models?

I just changed mine out, and I'm wondering if I should just get rid of them, or if they're worth giving to a buddy to trying to sell. I can't seem to find any information on the difference or compatibility with the other models anywhere.

According to Toyota specs, a TRD OR Hybrid is 0.7" higher than a non-hybrid OR and the tires are 1" taller, which should only raise the height 0.5". And the hybrid is 400lbs heavier. Pretty sure the springs are little stiffer. A TH is another 0.5" higher than a hybrid even though it's 300lbs heavier. Can't be the same springs.

Your springs should give a hybrid at least 0.5" of lift and a non-hybrid at least 0.7", probably more. Those numbers seem low because I feel that the TH and Pro look more than 0.5" higher than OR/Sport hybrids but those are the numbers Toyota has provided. Certainly don't throw them in a landfill, I'm sure they're valuable to someone.

I appreciate the help. Maybe I'll just throw them up on FB market place here for like $200 and see if anyone bites, because shipping them sounds like a huge pain.

I think they are def the stiffest of any Tacoma trim

I think Toyota anticipates that most TH buyers will load up their trucks with a lot of overland gear and appreciate the stiffer springs.
