    easiest thing would be to weld on 5" of capped tubing to where the bumps originally hit. Heck if you were anywhere close by id do it for you myself.

    5 inch tuff country lift, adjustable bilsten 5100's. Toyo MT's on 16' wheels. Magma flow muffler. Viper alarm/auto start. Moog sway bar links,tie rod ends and lower control arm bushings.
    I have talked to to them on the phone and they have told me that I'm the first person to ever have a problem like this out of thousands sold. My front struts only have like 4 inches of rod showing. How can I till if my cool springs are giving to much to cause the strut to bottom out?

    And i cant believe tuff country is selling this kit without anyway to relocate the bump stops. Thats unacceptable and a design flaw if you ask me.

    So why isn't any other tacomas on here having the same problem. And if bump stops are made. What's going to stop them from hitting all the time when I off road? My old struts that where warn out didn't even bottom out.....
