    Finally had some time today and got them on. I emailed accutune before to see if they recommended I get new brake lines and they told me no need to do that. So I tested myself and it looks like theres still plenty of play with the lines. Anyways gonna be testing the shocks soon and seeing how they ride

    Can you get us a photo of the shock installed wheels on, truck on the ground. From rear side behind the wheel. I'm really curious how close the body will be to the axle/ leafs.

    Leafs look a bit compressed in the photo, how much travel do you have in the shock, looks like maybe 4 inches. It is a beefy shock that’s for sure!

    Say what? I think you mean supporting it by the frame.

    Yes, very true this is what you see. Not the suspension expert, but if the OP went with the tundra/Tacoma rear shock without a more suitable rear leaf the shock ends up just being overkill?

    It's still a 2.5" shock, right, just longer?

    No, the Tundra shocks utilize a steel lower rod end, as opposed to the anodize aluminum rod ends of the Tacoma shocks.
