    Just call them.

    Go custom, since King only offers OEM-length shocks off the shelf for 1st Gen Tacoma's.

    Not aware of any off the shelf non-res variants though.

    You didn't read what I said.

    They have tons without resi, but not off the shelf for a 1st Gen.

    So call them.

    I actually have my Rear 2.5" Kings that are for stock to 1.5" of lift for sale at the moment. They do have a resi mounted to the shock body. I sent you a PM if you are interested.20230105_125429.jpg 20230105_125431.jpg 20230105_125432.jpg 20230105_125435.jpg 20230105_125441.jpg 20230105_125442.jpg 20230105_125443.jpg 20230105_125445.jpg 20230105_125452.jpg 20230105_125453.jpg 20230105_125455.jpg

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Factor in rebuilding those shocks, replacing the alignment spacers, and possibly having to replace a shaft or two, on top of the cost of those used shocks the OP is better off buying new.

    Personally, I'd opt for longer shocks and do a custom shock relocation.

    Factory setup sucks and if you're going to spend the money for some quality shocks, might as well gain some travel while you're at it.

    I'd go ADS or at least Fox.

    I know you know this, this is all information for the OP.

    But really, best advice is 40s N TONS :duh:

    That's why it's BEST to buy new. It's someone else's junk already, that's why they're selling it.
