    They do but not in a 2" cuz that huge. You know the rear of the tacoma has a 1 inch wider wheel base stock in the rear. If you do a plus two kit up front adding 4 then do 1.5 wheel spacers in the rear it should be even.

    Edit: thats what I heard but I cant find evidence of it.

    Hmm I know 2" is huge... Now I'm curious. I don't see why Toyota would make it wider in the rear though... Doesn't that kill turning radius or something?

    I wouldn't go that far, pretty sure all of the major shock brands can handle doing approximate valving for the +2 kit and the specs of the truck its going on...only way to be spot on is tune the coil overs on that specific truck after trial/error.

    The +2 axles are all around $600 give or take a few bucks, at least the last two sets I bought.

    I was told this by Pat & Nicole at the Overland Expo a few months ago. King did set up shocks for TC kits in both ext travel and Long Travel. Check out the 2014 4x4 build on Chaosfab.com.
    The 2013 Brown Derby build is MT but set up with Fox. I'm sure you can write Pat info@chaosfab.com and get the valving or even a model #.
    Great people over there !!

    Yes, they are. I finally got to meet them at the expo and they really are great people. The Pelfreys are also amazing. I have quite a few total chaos stickers if you want some. I'll snap some pics this weekend and I'll mail them to you if you wish. I scored a black & orange hat and a snap beer coozie also.

    Edit: they are off this week and I'm not sure if they are going to the FJ summit in 2 weeks. Post pics of your TC rig in the dirt on their FB. I know they love that and I've seen them ask people for addresses to send schwag.

    So in moab im winching loco up the cliff after he rolls his truck. His winch is connected to my bumper my winch is connected to his. My truck is perpindicular to his though so my truck is being pulled down into the ground. My front wheels were chalked with rocks because I kept getting pulled forward. After getting him put the hill my bumper was pulled down about an inch. Eric (relentless) helped me remove my bumper. Turns out my frame mount holding the bumper on bent. The relentless frame to bumper reinforcements were not enough to suspend a truck off the cliff. Tyler from pelfreybilt saw the damage in moab and suggested he could send me his re-enforcement plates and I could run both for double the strenght. Eric helped fix my frame mounts in moab and it was all good. Keep in mind I have never ordered anything from pelfreybilt. This week they had the 4th of july sale. I ordered a small fuse block pannel and didnt think much of it. That night Satin Pelfrey reached out to me asking if I still wanted frame plates and they would through then in with my ordered because I bent my frame winching someone who was a customer of theirs. Now that is customer service. Thank you Tyler and Satin. I look forward to see you guys in moab next year.

    It was the 3 bolts on each side that hold the bumper on. The tabs the bolts are on bent down and foward

    I don't know if it was the spacers or not, but the bora spacers I had made a clicking and a clunk on braking. Needless to say I took them off... in the future I would look elsewhere.

    I've heard many stories like this about Satin & Tyler. They really are genuine good people. If something goes wrong, they do everything they can to make it right.

    The way he fabricated the frame supports is awesome. I was able to see his full setup installed on a close friends rig. Everything is so very well made.

    I have good experiences like that with Pat from TC. He always answers the phone and returns emails. He has shipped me parts and given me a lot of build advice. Once it cools down again here in AZ both him and Nicole asked to come back and camp/wheel with the AZ crew.

    Could do a bolt on option, I was thinking of an idea or be easier jus to get rid of the stamped bolts, drill em out and Weld in a thick piece of angle iron and a strip going back to grab more of the frame and bolt it so the reinforcement bracket, the 1/8"lookin piece and the bumper all sandwich together with beefier hardware

    Now that's a vendor who people stand behind and buy from! There is nothing like a good company/family like that to buy from!
