    Question. On both pics, it shows the e brake assembly in different locations across the axle. Did Toyota change these on the first gens at some point, or did you relocate them? I'm about ready to install 10" Fox shocks.

    I ordered one a few weeks ago myself. If you haven't already, order one. I think he may be discontinuing them sometime soon.

    yes, Toyota changed this. If I remember correctly, starting with 2003 trucks, the e-brake was in the lower position like yours and mine. It made life easier when I installed larger leaf springs because the cable didn't run on top of them like my friends 2001.

    Does the cable interfere with shock relocation brackets? It looks like I may have an issue. A small one but still some clearance may be needed.

    I have no idea, I have the stock shock mounts. I would ask in the BAMF thread, BAMF directly, or find someone that has them and as them for some photos.

    You can see in your original photo of your rear set up on page 1 of this thread, that there is some kind of tubing wrapped around the cable as a guard. So when it makes contact with the shaft of the shock. It's not metal on metal.

    Fox 2.0 has a few different part numbers for different extended/collapsed lengths. You need to measure what those numbers are or find out the pet number to see if they’ll fit your set up.
