    Trying to figure out the best rear shock for my application. :confused: I'll be doing mostly crawling, no desert running, so I don't need a remote resi. Looking for a shock that will give me the most travel. Ordering the Dakars from Wheelers (with overload spring added), but it looks like DSM has a bigger selection on rear shocks. Thanks...

    Thank you. The website wasn't clear on whether those were extended to work with the dakars or not so I appreciate it.

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Yep NitroChargers. I had both 5125's and NitroChargers now and prefer the OME.

    None yet but in the works!
    I called ARB about running longer shocks in the rear of my 2010 Tacoma with the OME suspension and the heavy spring kit. They recommend the OME Nitrocharger shock #N68E is 3inches longer. But before you install longer shocks:
    1) The factory rear brake lines are too short and need to be replaced with longer ones.
    2) The bump stops need to be extended or the shocks will bottom out.

    I did the bump stops already. Now I need to do the brake lines and order the shocks.
