Rear Shocks

to start:
08 DC TRD 6sp

I have the TSB and 1.5"AAL installed. I now have the feeling when I go over speed bumps my rears are topping out due to the added lift. Has the lift killed my up travel on the stock rears leading to the top out and eventual damage?
Looking for a solid upgrade if this is the choice.
I have 5100 on the front with Eibachs set at 0.85 and the ride is nice. I now do mostly highway and very limited off road but these speed bumps are killing me at my new work.

 

Ya, they're prob toast and over extending. Just get some 5100's for the rear and you're good!

 

do you have the stock rear shocks?

 

yeah, thats what prompted my question. i have seen some threads saying stocks are not really quite long enough.

 

that's a promising upgrade thought.

 

from downsouth, they sell 2 different 5100 models. One for 1-2" lift another for 3-4" lift. I was advised on the longer ones. ordered yesterday and shipped. should arrive on the 22nd.

This. Theyre always willing to work with you to find the best shock given the application they will be used for, and the budget you're working with. there's 5100's, longer 5125's, and then 5150's with built in resis.
