    No turning back now. Archive Garage trail series shock relocation kit and Fox 12" 2.0 shocks with adjusters going in this week.

    More pics as I go along.

    I've lived in a handful of different areas and always had good luck just looking up driveline shop in Google Maps and then making a few phone calls to price work out. I normally ask for a retube in .095" on a Toyota truck driveshaft and they will either understand the program or will be confused, and its time to make the next phone call to another shop. If you have any friends into go fast stuff, they normally can recommend good local driveshaft places too.

    My favorite shops have been Indy Rack and Axle and Driveshafts Unlimited in Lyons, IL if that helps give you a Barometer on the type of place you are looking for.

    Stock shock mounts on both sides are gone! That was not fun lol. Time to clean up the work area for welding tomorrow.

    New shock mounts tacked on both sides and suspension cycled for travel. I'm going to have to cut the tacks on lower shock mounts and rotate them up more, too much shock shaft exposed at max bump height.

    Edit:
    Definitely not working fast today. My body is really feeling the crawling around on the floor from yesterday....

    If anyone is interested in a set of Rear Dobinsons MRA's send me a message and we can work out a deal. @Camerasandcoffee :boink:

    Edit: They have roughly 12,000 miles on them

    I really liked them and they preformed great. Just wanted more travel and unfortunately Dobinsons doesn't offer a universal shock in the states that I'm aware of.
