    Don't forget, those shocks have 3.0" bodies.

    A lot of stuff
    Alright people of taco world, here’s my current set up. 2nd gen, 37’s, BAMF shock relocation kit, wheel Spacers, 2.5 12in fox’s.

    hers my question: is it possible to fit or has anyone else put in triple bypasses with the BAMF kit? I’m pretty sure the archive’s are a little bigger.

    I had the BAMF on order & from my research even a smooth body 2.5" shock wouldn't fit without notching the new towers. I've got triple bypass Kings & can tell you it would take waaaaay more fabrication on the BAMF towers than it's worth. Pay the $200ish Delta & order the Archive towers.

    If you order custom bypasses with the tubes on the front and rear of the shock, not on the sides, you can probably get away with it. You will still rub the body, but less likely to rub the bypass tubes.

    For the amount of work it would take to fit a bypass, I would cut the BAMF kit out and go with the Archive.

    Just so we are all on the same page, you talking 1st gen or 2nd?

    Im pretty sure the answer is no either way but details matter. @Supra4x4 you’re spring under with an Archive kit on a 2nd gen, yeah?

    From my experience with a 1st gen, you’re limited on how much the leaf flexes, which is solved with SUA, and how big of a shock you can mount under the bed. It’s difficult to fit a decent sized shock without going outside the frame which is tight fitment. Archive has a kit that may be the best option but wheel spacers will be required.

    Yeah I just got done going through a bunch of the relocation threads, I have 1.25" spacers on the back now to match the front, but I would prefer to keep it inside the rails to prevent the "super poke" look when I go back to stock bed width. OR I could go with some mild bedsides I suppose

    2.5x12” triple Kings custom bypass layout ( moved them all in from the outside )

    Went with a custom hoop set from a shop near me. Paired w/ 2” King bumps.

    Still on older Dakar’s but plan to swap out to a Deaver pack later this year.
