GMF Bolt on Rear Shock Relocate for 2nd/3rd Gen, back in production

Nice work too !

 

I would like to get in on Febs hardware run...not sure if that is Run 3 or Run 4

Looking for top relocation brackets and bottom axle tabs.

Thanks

 

Due to my life getting busy; new house, moving the shop, new day job, the next run will be in March or April. I have to build a new welding area and get power hooked up. And before I can do that my wife has some ideas about "more important" home projects...

 

"More important things [than Tacoma]" ...that's heresy, lol.

Thanks for the response, I will check back April-ish.

 

This weekend got wiped out by a sink hole caused by the previous owner not properly decommissioning a septic tank; at least it's never boring?

 

Got the 7100s I was waiting on in. Worked out perfectly with mounting them to the tube. Love this relocate. Was able to cycle and set lower shock mounts for the 14” short bodies.

 

Awesome to see.

Where did the lower mounts end up on the axle? I think you're the first (of many) people asking about 14" shocks.

 

I only have one not so great pic of it. They are still up and out of the way but the angle of the pic makes it seem low.

This is also giving me about an inch of play if the bump were to fully fully compress.

 

That's impressive, they aren't kidding about a "short body". Did you already post that Bilstein part number?

 

Yeah I’m really happy with how it all worked out. I did have to shim on each side of the misalignment spacers though as they are smaller than the typical shock.

Part Number:

 

Thanks, the top had to be shimmed?

 

No problem at all. Yes I added a couple thin washers to each side of the misalignment spacers in order for it to sit inside of the relocate.

 

Thanks, I'll add both notes to the first information post.

 

Awesome, happy to be able to give back info. Especially on this forum, I’ve gotten so much from it.

 

Yikes! That's not boring at all, lol.

Sorry for late reply...been offline and switched attention to dirt bikes forva minute.

I am keeping a eye on the thread smd ordering some custom +6" leafs on Monday....which will take 6-8 weeks for delivery. Hopefully the stars will align on all parts

Hope your sh*tty situation in the backyard has improved

 

Backyard shit was resolved, and I'm recovering from unrelated shoulder surgery. Hopefully that's the end of my bullshit delays for a bit.

What kind of bike? I got a Yamaha 400 in January, much to my new neighbors displeasure.

I'll be getting a batch run this spring for sure.

 

Glad to hear ...some..of your issues are resolved. Sometimes it seems we can't catch a break.

Nice on the bike...Yamaha is my favorite offroad bike outside KTM (due to terrain in AZ). I just picked up a KTM 250 (smoker) XC-W for myself and a CRF150R for my daughter. I picked up a small toy hauler and a hitch carrier, which is making my blown shocks a bit of a crisis (rythmic bouncing is pretty bad on some highways). I am ordering some new Alcan springs now and may have to pick up another shock relocation kit....even though I like yours better than what's out there. Not sure I can wait, but I will try!

Happy riding brother and thanks

 

I've got my boy on a 110 quad, he can outrun my jeep on the trail, so I had to get a bike to keep up

Totally understand if you have to get the truck fixed before I can get my shit together. I like, and used to run on my truck, the BAMF kit. I do recommend paying him to weld them up though.

 

I was able to get the 7100’s to fully droop out this past weekend. Very happy with how the rear end came out.

 

What leaf springs are you guys running with this kit?
