I have a 7 seater Sienna, but I haul a lot of weight.** A: The only difference is the length. The 344480 is 27.12" extended / 17.24" collapsed, the 344308 is 26.18" extended / 16.41" collapsed. Both fit a Sienna rear, but it depends on the year model and whether it's AWD or FWD. They have the same mountings, too. **Q: Are there any other parts required? I would be willing to buy new boots and bushings too.** A: No other parts are required! It has a new mounting bushing pressed into the bottom and new hardware/bushings to install on the top.
