    John,
    Curious, what are you using for rear shocks now?
    I know from installing mine the droop is pretty wicked .:cool:

    Currently Icon's older 2.0 remote resi shocks. They're a little short on droop. I'm gonna get some measurements in the not too distant future and talk with Icon, see if they can make me some custom stroke 2.5 remote resi rear shocks. They already make the size, I just need to know if they can get the travel I need...

    Edit:

    These:

    http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-7459016-icon-toyota-tacoma-05-up-rear-2-5-od-shock-kit.html

    But with ability to accommodate a higher lift height.

    When they did mine, the price was the same! I was really surprised that they were not going to be more expensive.

    One of these days I'm gonna convince one of you local guys to leave your truck with me so I can do up the custom shock mounts and get some massive rear travel. After some tweaking and measuring on my old one I figured up that I could pull 16" of travel from my stock leaf pack with AAL with the right shock mounts and shackle flip. :D

    For a visual reference that's stuffing the top of a 285 inside the fender and drooping out with the top of the tire below the sliders.

    those shackle flips with those exact shackles look perfect.

    FYI John.... Dropping the lower bolts in the mail.

    For those looking. The lower shackle bolts that go through the leafs will have a greaseable bolt just like the top one. I just didn't have any in stock.

    You really won't need the AAL with the shackle flip. My truck is ass high right now. But, my leaf packs are all of 3 weeks old and will settle some. If they lose an inch, they'll be perfect. I've got about 200 extra lbs. in the bed and am gonna leave it there for a month or so to hasten the process a bit.
