    hydros out back would be nice. But they are hard to fit as really you can only mount them outboard the frame without going into the bed.

    My exact issue. Plus with the limited uptravel of the first gens I didn’t wanna be bucking everywhere... although could just run low psi in them

    Nah they would keep you for bucking everywhere. If done right and the shocks right.

    definitely not ideal though without a wider axle..

    Was just looking for an alternative to the harsh-ish bottom outs with the hydros but decided against them. I threw some foam shaft bumps on the shock shafts cut in half and those have actually helped a bunch surprisingly.

    Even after having a shock guy valve my rear shocks twice it’s hard working with The limited numbers without going SUA, links, cantilever, or going into the bed

    Those wouldn't be bad if you're willing to either drill and tap your control arm or drill and tap the strike plate on the frame to thread them in

    Ok so I only need bump stops for 1 side, I forgot that when I changed them I could only get 1 pair off because the other side was seized. Might go OEM just so I don't have to do anything but screw them in

    Under my truck last night I realized that I need to relocate my exhaust pretty badly...not only did I tag it hard on the last couple trails but it's been hitting my leaf springs now for awhile and the rubber hangars on the end keep breaking from the length of it and how much swinging it sees with the trails I do.

    Where do you guys relocate your's too? before the passenger wheel coming out the side I assume is the best place? Don't know if I want it dumping right under the truck, the TRD header/exhaust combo is loud (at least to me)

    I wouldn't say it is the best place but it sure is easy. I'll be going back and routing it over the frame and out the bedside very soon here.

    I just had it repiped. I wouldn't recommend cutting it short unless its right by the spare tire with a quiet muffler. Otherwise if you cut it at the axle the cab drone can be pretty annoying.

    I don't think I could drive Frank for long if the piping didn't go all the way out.
