    Not sure if you ever saw this thread I put together, but I have all the part numbers listed for all the Bilstein 5125 shocks: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/1st-gen-tacoma-rear-shock-info-aftermarket.793217/

    I also prototyped a bolt on outboard shock relocation: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/feeler-1st-gen-tacoma-bolt-on-outboard-shock-mounts.794657/
    These require wheel spacers, but they do move the shock mount 3" higher. I have the parts to make one more set if you were interested.

    You may be able to add some taller bump stops to avoid over compressing the shock

    This is super cool actually. I have no fabricating experience so a kit like that makes for a great option for relocating the shocks without having to weld or modify the frame or mounting points! Great work on making that kit, id need to give it a bit of thought if i want to get one from you due to the fact I just completed the lift kit and shocks dont sell too well on the second hand market. Weve got a surplus of second hand shocks and facebook people live to lowball lol
