    i got the fox 2.0 rear shocks for my lift and these are for the 2 to 3inch lift in the rear.
    when i went to install them they are missing the inner metal bushing(in pic)
    i bought them from MRT and was told they fit my tacoma.

    am i suppose to get my own metal bushing or pound out the one from the stocks? what am i missing?
    looking for answers of other fox shock owners
    the bolt goes in but there is about 2mm of play on both sides,all else fits but i had to put back my stock shocks til i figure this out.

    any help is greatly appreciated!

    found the answer-hope MRT steps up!

    Does DSM perform the bushing modification to allow use on a Tacoma?
    A: Correct we remove the FJ bushing and install the Tacoma bushing and sleeve.

    I ordered mine through ORW and they had the correct ends. Do they say tacoma on the box end? Mine are 0-1" of lift.
