If they did then as Bamachem said, they would definately have different rotors too.
I wonder if those are the larger calipers they added for the TSB or just a change from model years.

Otherwise, if you simply do a direct bolt on drum to disc conversion, i dont really think you are accomplishing very much.
but first thing that comes to my mind is a proportioning valve or valves,
depending on number of lines - they are not that expensive...

If you don't put one in, you will be guaranteed to lock up the rears the first time you try them out.

My brother has a 2003 tundra SR5 2WD that I'm 99% sure has 15" wheels. They're the fugly steel ones and NOT the alloys like on the TRD Tundras.

The upgrade for the rotors and calipers was to prevent warping of the rotors. So if you wanted to replace your master cylinder to a Tundra's you could. But you dont have to in order for this mod to work.

4Runners don't weigh as much so either of those should be an improvement over stock.
