    Hopefully I will also in a little less than a month! Ready to see how much better my suspension can be after I get rid of the spacer.

    At the body shop right now, the guy that's working on it told me Monday that after he straightened the frame he could go ahead and fix the suspension for us while it's there. So I went and bought a new left axle and some minor things and took it up there. Yesterday he called letting me know that he had to order a new steering rack, which I knew was probably needed anyways. So as long as the steering rack comes in quick, then I could have it up again in as little as next week. :D

    Some 5125's are actually shorter than 5100's and 5150's.

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1st-gen-tacomas/155232-5100s-vs-5125s-2.html#post3128139

    Edit: And when I talked to Jon on the phone, I believe he said I was getting the extended 5100's. http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-5...toyota-tacoma-pre-runner-4wd-rear-shocks.html

    And according to DSMS: 3" to 4" Rear Lift Shock Part #: BE5-B110-T5
    Extended Length: 27.28"
    Collapsed Length: 16.34"

    27.28-16.34= 10.94" of travel

    lol no no no no no no..haha

    You can get 5125s in short lengths then the 5100s which you should if you dont have a lift however! You can get 5125s and 5150s in MUCH longer lengths the 5100s. And thats the only difference really. Valving is all the same and the 5150s stay cooler. But the 5125s and 5150s can come in longer lengths..

    check it.

    I guess you didn't catch my edit lol. But on the DSM website, they make a 5100 that has 10.9 inches of travel... And the ones I'm getting, with 10.9 inches of travel, are meant for 3-4 inches of rear lift... which I have. I don't need any longer. They are already longer than your 5125's.

    Lol yeah I don't think it makes too big of a difference. I'm not wheeling 24/7 anyways. And plus if the 5150's are prone to leaking, why bother? :p
