    I am installing my mid travel on saterday and am now wondering how to set up my rear. I used the search button and read through some threads and didn't find a exact answer to my question which is:

    If I want to run a deaver J66 pack (because I want minimal lift) what rear shock do I use? I want to stick with Fox shocks...

    Also I was seeing some guys cutting out the stock top shock mount off the frame and using hoops. Is there a place to order the hoops? I can do all the welding myself if this route suits me best. Also what shocks would I use on this route??

    any info would be very helpful and sorry in advanced for beating the dead horse if this question was already asked and I didn't see it.

    Oh and I have a 2nd gen double cab prerunner if it matters.

    oh cool Im a stones throw away from Yorba Linda. Im actually a welder/workaholic. Im up to my ears with work, kinda hard to get a day off.

    Anyway is there any other hoops out there for purchase? That set up is really nice but I cant see spending that much just on hoops and I most likely wont be running fancy bumps.

    Anyone have any info on the shock situation? Im pretty set on just running the deavers but don't know what exact Fox shock I will need. I noticed a 1" lift one for direct replacement but will that give me more travel?

    sorry for all the questions im just ready to be schooled with rear set ups

    thanks for the reply. Do you happen to have any pics of your rear set up? I went on that site and the pictures don't really show you anything. I want to see how they weld on and all of that. I see your local also are you guys going to all the tacomaworld meets?

    Not sure what the best size shock would be but I'm running the j59 pack on my 1st gen and my shocks are limiting down travel.
