    Read through the thread and not to many people are running Fox shocks. Would a 2.5 x 12 work with this shock relocation? FOX-980-06-102-SRT

    I’ve been looking all over and can’t find any specs for the eyelet width in the shock bucket, so I know what size spacers ill need to run for the shock? Sorry if this is obvious somewhere I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Thanks

    After keeping this kit & my shocks in the garage for months I was finally able to have Joe at GMG Fab get the kit on. I can’t wait to drive it & wheel it to see the difference. I went with 14” short body 7100’s but am needing to find a bushing solution for the top mount, the standard metal ones are super noisy and these 7100 upper mounts aren’t like the heimed Kong’s Everyone runs. I can give exact measurements Later for anyone interested but these shocks are 19.6x33.4. I chose them mainly for budget reasons over the 12” kings most use. I also figured the added length of these would be nice for spacing. I went with 255/70 valving

    Hey, "O'doyle Rules" wannabe.....a tiger never loses sleep over the opinion of sheep. @JLee has been putting out quality and solid work for over a decade. I would trust BAMF products on my truck all day long and twice on Sundays, and I have a number of BAMF products to prove it. You seem a little bitter because you paid $1200 for a 10" system when you could have paid 1/5th of that for a just as solid, if not more, BAMF 12" system. Being a douche just because you were dropped on your head as a child doesn't give you the right to attack someone else for no reason. Back the fuck up goat cheese.

    I was just sharing my opinion. I did not attack anyone. Just my feelings about the product I’m using. And getting named called and bullied and belittled for it. So this is the personality of people that purchase BAMF products? I hope you don’t handle all there social media.

    In my opinion, the total chaos relocate is a complete waste of money because you can’t fit anything longer than a 10” shock in there. Nice try though guy....


    Is it because you put a couple stickers on your truck and ran the rubicon so you think you’re the baddest bitch around? Is that why you’re being rude?

    OK, lets make a couple of things abundantly clear.
    1. I do not work for @JLee or BAMF or handle any of their social media at all
    2. You state that you are getting name called and bullied when you were the one that fired the first shot, then sat back and expected to not get fired back upon
    3. Yes, you were sharing your opinion.......... without knowing anything at all about the product. Of course opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, but it is not what you said it is how you said it.......let's break it down ....shall we?

    "Good kit if you never intend to upgrade to a real shock."
    - First shot fired. Interesting way to start a port (opinion as you call it) on something that you know absolutely nothing about, making an assumption, and trolling for no reason what so ever. It would be like you walking down the beach, seeing a man purpose to his fiance, and telling him, "Nice choice if you never intend to upgrade to a real woman," without even knowing the couple.

    "My kit kicks that kits ass period"
    - Second shot fired. Good, you like your "kit." Go hang out in the Total Chaos Fan boy forum instead of trolling other vendor forums and putting their work down without any experience with them.

    "IMO Total Chaos rules"
    - Good for you. You like what you have. You have experience with it. Just pointing out that you paid $1000 more to get something just as good as this.

    "Nice try though guy"
    - Third Shot Fired.....for no reason I might add. You didn't have to be a douche with a Exclamation at the end of it, but I guess whatever makes you feel better.

    And BTW, I wasn't the only one to point out the fact that you were being a dick. See the quotes below. And writing the statement late at night as well......fairly cowardly IMO. But I fully understand that a blunt instrument like yourself will not fully understand the depth of your ignorance. Good luck with your Total Chaos kit.

    There is overwhelming evidence that you came in here to fire shots, but you haven’t taken the time to realize that was a mistake. We all learn from time to time, I am commenting on this because even my very limited experience with BAMF has proven to be that they are an incredible company with awesome things to offer tacoma world & even great communication and service. Have a nice day & try to remember that just because you presumably did Rubicon once on a 10” shock relocation kit from one of the biggest names in the industry - that doesn’t exempt BAMF’s kit from being an INFINITELY better value/offering for 90% of tacomas.

    This is the cool part where we can see how a company doesn’t even have to address silly things like this because the loyal, appreciative customers of said company line up to defend said company with punctuality & accuracy.

    Well well well, lookie here. This silly & random shot fired has actually come to make BAMF an EVEN BETTER option for 90% of tacomas. Way to go @JLee thanks for all you do.

    This once again shows the type of generous and hard working gentleman that you are Jerry. I was thinking about changing up my set up anyway but this just sealed the deal. Putting in my order now and I am getting the "welding it for me" option because I know and trust the quality of the work you guys put out over at BAMF. It is kind of amazing how people try to put other businesses down without any clue what the hell they are talking about. This will be just another proud BAMF part I put on my rig. And even though I will show it off with pride, I know I will not have to because it will be solid and do its job effectively. The results will speak for itself on the trail. I just wished I didn't live on the other side of the country. I would hire you guys to weld it onto my rig directly.
