    Anyone know when Glassworks Unlimited changed to Advanced Fiberglass Concepts? Glassworks is a well known name, why did they change it? Or did someone buy them out?

    Same here, I've sent 2 messages over the past 2-3 days (nothing obsessive) and haven't heard back. I'm honestly getting a bit worried, I'm about to dump thousands on new shocks and would like to know I can actually get a reply to simple questions, let alone should anything go wrong with them and I need customer service help. It'll only take them literally a minute to answer what I asked.

    Mid travel up front is usually referring to extended shocks & aftermarket UCAs. Once you swap to extended LCAs &/or fab custom upper shock towers you get into long travel. You're looking at parts 25001-119 (stock) or 25001-119EXT (mid travel)

    I wouldn't worry too much about the slow response. This isn't their only business, so on top of the day to day stuff they do with their website, they also have tons of PMs from TW. Still a week left to get all questions answered and orders in. There were over 50 people interested and more have probably jumped in. That's a lot of PMs to answer, and orders to place.

    Did they send you an invoice or did you send money to an email address?

    Nothing yet, it sounds like the 10th they will actually bill. I'm assuming they will send me an invoice for payment to the PayPal address I provided.

    I've returned all PM's that have come my way. If you've sent me a PM, and I haven't returned it chances are I didn't get. DSMS should ONLY by PM'ed for order placement, or in the event that I have no clue how to answer your question. So, if you have King related questions please contact me. I've on here almost all day to answer questions so make sure you utilize my availability.

    Is it possible to do the toyota shocks with the resiviors attached instead of with the hose?

    Those are called piggybacks, not sure if king does them. I've heard words of caution that they could rotate and rub or hit parts of the truck

    They have piggy back shocks on their website but I am not sure they will fit the tacoma, at least not the fronts.

    I'm pretty sure the 25001-121's do have a piggyback option. If not they at least have piggyback mounts for mounting the resi to the body.

    No they will not fit. If your doing a secondary shock hoop in the front a piggyback bypass will work. If you have a shock relocation kit in the rear which has a different upper eyelet then yes. Those 2.0 piggyback shocks don't have a stem mounting point for OE mounting point.
