    Is your aal installed already? You could compress your suspension as much as possible and measure your shock to see if it's shorter than 16.5"

    I don't have the AAL in yet? But with all the technical data a lot of the guru's on here know. It should be able to be answered without having to go through compressing and measuring myself.

    I hear ya... Definitely seems to be conflicting info. I just don't want to sell shocks to someone that won't work with their setup. I'll check around too and let you know if I can get more info.

    The stock shock collapsed length is ~14.5", so if you have a 2" block instead of an add a leaf you should be fine since these shocks are less than 2" longer when collapsed.

    Yeah, definitely do some research... I don't want to screw anyone up with the wrong shocks.
    Yes, they came from DSM with bushings and sleeves installed for the tacoma application

    Since these are the custom length bilsteins they come with 90 day warranty instead of the lifetime. Unfortunately they've been in my garage for about 90 days so no warranty.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Check my thread back out - http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/355478-rear-bilstein-5100s-1-5-lift.html

    These are the rear shock measurements from my truck - 3 leaf Non TSB Off Road springs and a Wheeler's 1.5" 3 leaf add a leaf.

    Id imagine most 1.5" non TSB lifts are very similar. The 5125s are too long collapsed and will bottom out before the bumpstops do their jobs
