    Hey! I have a 2001 tacoma prerunner; 3.4 V6; 2 wheel drive, and I need to know what I have to do to fit 10 inch shocks (walker evans racing 10" w/ reservoir) on to my truck. I've been trying to research it via Google with no luck. I'm not sure what the stock shock lengths are either! :confused:

    Here is what I did on my truck before I went spring under:

    I just made some plates and bent a few tubes to make a cross bar. I used Total Chaos lower shock mount on the axle. I was able to fit an 11.5" shock under there.
