    For less than $400 you can get fox 2.0 resis for the rear, so dunno how 5160s compare to fox

    We do have the 5150s available for the rear of 1st Gen Tacomas.
    They are a great riding shock with an extra piggyback resevior.
    As well as the New ICON VS 2" in Smooth Body, and Remote-Resi.
    The Icons are Custom Built Billet Aluminum shocks that are Fully Rebuildable.

    Can someone answer my question? Can I run these shocks with a stock 3-leaf pack?
