    Was gonna put a set of FS 2407 bags in the 2021 Tacoma Sport LB today but before I cut my bump stops noticed that the rigid portion in the brake line on the driver side looks awfully close the cradle that sits on the rearend from the kit.
    Does anyone with these air bags have pictures they could share that shows me that this is actually gonna clear before I hack my bump stops.
    Also is there any risk to removing the bump stop cradle all together rather than hacking it off?
    I know there is an alignment pin between the spring and the saddle and yes it’s a little extra work but want to retain parts should I choose to remove the bags. And there’s something about hacking my truck if not needed that never sits well with me

    EDIT: Keeps getting better. I also noticed because I have 1” blocks in the back the lower bracket won’t actually sit on the rear end as designed. Sheesh....had to go modifying 567AF174-7B6C-4A60-BD56-71F840360F74.jpgFD8392C8-BACD-462A-9B2A-ACAF09914EE7.jpg E8D9BAFA-B053-4876-81FE-EEC3A14E7AFA.jpg

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    Yup - the hazards of modding.

    You need the cradle, hack the bump stop.

    You have a lift block so the side perch wont contact the axle either, there is a suplimental kit for that.

    Do you happen to know where I can find that kit for use with a 1” block or what it looks like?
    I only see spacers for the bags themselves for suspension lifts and space the bags
