    Hey guys just got some Fox FJ Piggybacks installed on my 2013 Tacoma and have ran into an issue with mounting.

    It appears that the resi is really close to the shock mount, but I noticed only on the Driver side.

    Passenger Side:

    I did not install these , but is there something wrong? how come one side has better clearance. I noticed a lot of people run these and have seen pictures and mine are much closer to the shock mount. Shop told me to keep an eye on it , will I be at risk to make contact while wheelin?

    Thanks,
    TacoRuthe

    I'd check to make sure the drivers side shock has the same hardware in the same configuration as the passenger side on the underside of the shock mount. A missing washer or flipped the wrong way could space it up or down bringing the hose closer to the mount.

    There is a lot of thread still avalaible on the rod so you can probably add washers' shims or jam nut between the top of the shock and the first washer/rubber bloc.

    I crawled underneath and saw the following:

    / \ Cone Washer
    [ ] Rubber Bushing
    ----- Shock Mount
    [ ] Rubber Bushing
    \ / Cone washer

    It's like this on both sides, Driver's side just looks more "stuffed" into the mounting location when I look up underneath. On Passenger side I can see the bottom cone washer without looking under.

    BTW here are some better pictures in day light with a better angle

    For some reason doesn't look as bad as before...

    Thanks

    Is the number of thread on the road is the same on each side. Maybe one is more compressed by the nut.
