    I put Old Man Emu Dakar leaf packs in my 09 Tacoma and boy they're awesome. I was installing the Bilstein 5160s that the catalog said would work with a Tacoma with 1" of lift, but those beautiful springs provide far more.

    I measured and it looks like I heed something closer to 28" expanded, and the ones I ordered are 24". Does anyone know if the 5160s come in other sizes I can order? I can't really find a decent source. Bilstein says they're "tuned" for each application so I don't wanna get shocks that are too stiff/soft for my Tacoma…

    Any words of wisdom from the hive mind?

    I found a 5165 part number that has the length I need, but it's got eye mounts on both sides… I've red about eye-to-stem adapters but it looks like they only work on the 5100s?

    So much to learn.
