    Hey guys, I have a 1.5" aal on the way . Im planning on running my stock 2013 trd sport rear struts.

    Will I be ok or are they too short?

    Im running 1" blocks on them now but im looking to get some rake back.

    If you lose the block you will be okay short term.. The problem is the shocks will bottom out before the springs do and over time it will ruin the shock

    Negative, just curious because that would have been a problem.
    Like previous posts, you should be fine on the roads. I wouldn't go running it at 60mph down a rolly/bumpy road :eek: if your rear drops quick in a pot hole or off a curb you might hear a "thump" not to worry, it's just your shock fully extending... Lol
