    Hey everyone, sorry for the long post. my OEM rear shocks on my 2018 are pretty well spent.
    I'm at 80 k miles. I drive mostly city but do use 4wd on vacation, fire roads, etc. I'm carrying a topper and a decked box full-time so probably 300 lbs20240526_131032.jpg 20240526_130442.jpg 20240526_130439.jpg 20240526_130436.jpg 20240526_130236.jpg . When I travel I load down with a couple hundred more.
    I got a deal on the TRD lift kit on a memorial day sale. Several years ago I also picked up a set of Dakar medium springs and they've been in the garage ever since.
    My main question is can I use the rear shocks in the OEM kit with the Dakars? The kit comes with a 1" block. I wouldn't be using it if I used the Dakars. I don't want to over extend the shocks. Would I be better off with the Icon AAL pack??
    Also do I need to order a rear axle shim, extended rear brake lines or any other parts to go with this? I'll post pics of the springs with part#s

    Dakars are what, 2" lift? I would think you should be fine if you don't use the 1" block. Shouldn't need EBLs. As for shims, if the 1" blocks have any taper, you'd probably want to match that taper with shims.
