This is what I got just had to change the lower bushings to fit Tacoma got the bushings from Downsouth

 

if you are asking me i ran the 2.0 coil overs up front and had procrap shocks out back, every time i drove it i regretted not spending the extra for the rears.

on my reg cab taco i ran dakars with skyjacker H7045 shocks, they were about an inch longer than the OME rears and i was surprisingly pleased with the ride. and less than half the price.. i'm not trying to suggest the skyjackers though, figure out what bumpstop you need for the 2.0 extended fox's and do it right the 1st time!

 

Question OP. Are you going with Fox 2.0 Piggybacks, Remote Reservoir or IFP emulsion shocks?

My next question is, do you plan on being at 2.25" of spring pack height or do you want to be at 2.75"?

I am currently running 2.0 Fox Remote Reservoirs originally intended for 1st gens.Coincidentally, they fit 2nd gens perfectly. With 2.25" of spring pack height I have an available 6" of uptravel, 4" of downtravel for a total of 10" stroke. Compressed height is 15.19 and extended is 25.19. The only thing I am running an AAL so brand is really unimportant as the height of the springs is what really matters. The only thing I had to do, was extend out my bump stops to compensate for going a larger shock then stock.

 

I'm looking to get the smooth body emulsion shocks. I don't need remote reservoirs for what I'm going to be doing.

As for the lift height, I'm aiming to keep it around 2.5"-2.75" in the rear. The front will only be going up 2"-2.5" and I want to keep the rake. Lift is less important than suspension travel and ride quality.

ZBoy are you in a second gen? If just switching the bushing on the shock worked than that might be my answer.

 

I found this thread:

It's between some guys on here and DownSouth Motorsports regarding switch a 2-3" Fox shock to a Tacoma bushing. Unfortunately they're closed on the weekends but once I get in touch I'm going to find out if this can be done for a first gen. If so, this might be the answer.

 

Missed a word in here.... Shocks have NO imapct on lift heigth....
