    Truck is looking awesome Eddie! Lets get out to the M.O.R.E. race this month if you can make it.

    Thats a good question Krish. I also run my shocks on the inside of the frame rails like Eddie. And I use my Hydraulic bumps on the outside of the frame to stop from hard slams. ( vs. using my hydraulic bumps on the inside and shocks on the outside like the stock Tacoma comes). I have ran many miles in a lot of different style race trucks and it comes down to preference and your rear end set-up.
    *Both work good. But for some reason my truck Handles way better with my shocks on the inside and my hydraulic bumps mounted on the outside with the leafs in between. ( I tried both ways)
    Maybe because its light. Maybe because I have a Currie 9 inch in the rear. It all comes down to the set-up and I think every truck is unique in the rear. My truck performs better at high speeds with the hydraulic bumps mounted on the outside though

    Krish, I'm running spacers in the rear, but as for running my shocks on the inside of the frame, my fabricator's preference was to mount them that way to give them more of a mechanical advantage with how light the rear is. The loss of bedspace was not an issue for me as I don't haul anything on a regular basis.

    Bryan, things are looking good, I should be able to head out to that race, I'll let you know!

    Didn't think F67s would be best for the long run, fabricator agreed and we decided F70s.

    Most trucks I've seen (around here/TTORA anyway) with F67s have been 1st gens or pickups, could be wrong though.
