Tacoma 2.5" x 12-14" Shock Relocation 2005-2023 2nd 3rd gen Archive Garage

Like Randy said, 26" is good, that is what I have for 14" shocks and that is enough

 

No. Really I have +4" wheelers lines and a 1" spacer between the axle and hard brake line mount, effectively making it a +5" line. I just find it easier to say I have +5".

 

Placed my order on the 7th of July. What’s good with the 45 day lead time. Currently on day 58 of waiting....any updates on lead times?

 

You ordered July 14, so we're at 51 days, really busy like the rest of the truck market, shipping today

 

If i come of as a dick i am super sorry. More of an impatient child, sitting on a whole bunch of parts I am super excited to install. I have been rocking your shackle flips for 3 years now and have had zero issues. I am stoked on adding another solid product of yours to my set up. At some point i will be welding in a crossbar, to support the rear shackle mount a little bit more. Thank you for your time and patience.

 

No problem, but I appreciate you saying this and your support.
We all have extra stress on our plates these days

 

Just put in my order for HH and shock relocate kits.getting ready for the Baja XL Rally. Going with king12's for soa. Deaver u402 #1's

 

Good setup. That will be a huge upgrade over stock. I recommend ordering or having the 12" Kings custom tuned. That would be the icing on the cake.

 

Already moved past stock

This is just the next stage as I wind up for my Baja XL Rally
King 12's with valving to match front set up are part of the plan.

 

Thank you! as Supra said, good setup. Do your best to conserve bump travel with your bumpstop choice

I currently have timbrens in there on some all pro standards. I cant say that i have read much in here about builds with timbrens?

 

Edit: This will still be a nice upgrade from the all-pros, and will definitely last longer. Those kings will be nice then.

 

just did the install, took me about 7 hours, fitment was spot on, everything except for grinding was easy peasy. I need a plasma cutter badly. i still have to get the limiting straps in there, but 16 inchers seems to fit the bill.

 

I'm going to be running 14" short body Kings with welded rod ends. Do you have any insight as to what length limit strap I'll need. Thank you.

 

Not exactly, probably 18" to 20" range.
Best course is to set the truck up, measure what you need and order them

 

I’m curious what size and brand spacers are you guys with the 12” shock setups running

 

A lot depends on your current wheel specs, as well as what size tire you're running. I think backspacing would be a more static number for people to compare. I have to run 2" spacers with my wheels which have 4.85" BS, so I effectively have 2.85" backspacing. This is with 35s.

Before I had 1.25" spacers (3.40" backspacing) and I rubbed the shock. One major thing to keep in mind that just stuffing one side is not a good representation of whether or not you have enough clearance. One side stuffed and the other fully drooped is where you'll really find out if you rub on your shocks. Like this.

It's hard for me to explain but maybe this will help visualize. As the drivers side drops lower, the top of the passenger tire will rotate more inboard, towards the shock.

 

Well when ever fox makes my triple bypasses I’ll have to run a 1.5 or 2” to clear with 4.5 BS

 

Hang in there. Be patient. I ordered my shocks from Fox in jan/Feb and got them in Julyish? It took awhile. But they finally arrived and have been sitting on the parts shelf ever since

 

Lol, Thx man. I got a garage full of parts I need to put on the truck.
