    I mean I was getting 17-18" before, strapped close to 15". But price of new leafs and shocks anyways, might make the juice worth the squeeze.

    Went by DMZ this morning to pick up some brakelines, they were closer than I thought. 10 min drive, and met Tim, awesome guy to deal with and sure knows his stuff.

    This led to a fun discussion of what a prerunner is in the socal craigslist thread. Astroturf has me going back and giving it a look again and again, maybe if it goes down to $8500

    I don’t think yard saling would be a thing if people did what this guy and several others in the SoCal Craigslist finds thread do.

    Yes. You'll need a new shock hoop off the frame and new tabs on the axle.

    lol same with me and thought it was still sketchy. Most DIY mounting and wiring stuff has to be redone from what generally happens.

    DM me if you'd like a set of the ones I'm making. I've got a second prototype set to install, and need to finish my jig before they go into production, with a fully bolt on option if you don't have a welder.

    Include a low mileage tundra and flat bed trailer for that price, and would still be overpriced imo

    Secretly Long Travel & Supercharged
    I’ve picked up a pair of 2017 Fox Raptor shocks, they are 31” extended, 12.25” stroke, and 18.75”.
    3.0’s with a piggyback 2.5” reservoir.
    9 internal bypass zone that I’ve heard works pretty well!

    I got some DMZ lower tabs to mount them to the axle, but I decided on what to do for the upper mount.
    I’d love to do something like archive garage’s mount, but I doubt it’ll clear the reservoir and the 3.0.
    I think something like Total Chaos mounts will provide clearance.

    Will I be ok without a crossmember at the top of the hoop going through the bed ?

    Any ideas, recommendations, or pictures are appreciated !
