BAMF 2nd Gen and 3rd gen rear shock relocation kit.

Was talking with a friend who’s not on TW but has a bracket lifted Tacoma. Showed him the kit I’m gonna get installed would it be possible to fit this kit to his?
If so what length shock should it be?

 

There is hundreds of lifted tacomas with this kit. If your talking about a drop bracket it would be up to him to measure for shock length.

 

That’s what I was referring to an I’ll let him know.

 

Yeah if he's putting them on with a drop bracket he would have to measure.

 

His lift is already on an is getting custom leaf packs built now an was looking for more articulation.

Thanks for you input.

 

Most likely going to use 14” shocks

 

Got it!!

He wants to wait till mine is on to get an idea of improvement that’s possible.

 

Anyone running stock bump stops with this kit installed? I have a ubolt flip kit and made a bracket to keep my factory bumps. Just want to make sure I dont need to but new bumps before I install.

 

I bought these and inverted them by drilling a hole in the frame strike plate. Reason I went with these is because they're almost 6" long, so I was able to trim them to the exact length I needed.

Finally found a spot to flex out properly with the new LT and realized I’m gonna have to rotate the lower mounts down a bit lol. Thought that wet spot under the shock was oil but it was just water from a creek I had just driven through.

 

Almost time for me..

 

Looks like you’re running super bumps? I’d just space them upward by 1/2” and see if that does the trick. A lot easier.

 

Trying to figure out if this kit will work with the stock 3rd gen trd OR wheels that I have on my 2nd gen. They are 25mm offset which I believe mean 4.98 bs. Current wheels are 265/75. This shits new to me.

 

Just some 1.25 spydertrax will do the job?

 

I think Bora makes a .75 and 1” too if you don’t want to run wider

 

Im sure that this has been covered somewhere in these 35 pages, but im currently running bilstein 5125s and i would like to move to a higher quality shock but i dont want to drop the money for kings. Wondering if there is a middle ground shock that i can go with?

 

You can still run billy 5125s marlin crawler sells them for 89 each here’s the link. I may get a set as back ups. This upgrade is totally worth it so much flex paired with the HD hanger the ride is so much better.

I paid $540 shipped for my King PR2012-SS, that's not too expensive for what you get.

The Fox 985-24-054 is a very similar shock that can be had for slightly cheaper but you will get a 5/8 shaft instead of the 7/8" on the King.

The Bilstein 7100 B46-1353S is another rebuildable 2" diameter smooth body with reservoir that can be had for cheaper, but it only has a 14mm shaft which as about 9/16".

 

im looking to go more expensive than billies, but not as expensive as kings. something in the middle... if there even is an option

 

Radflo is another option.
