    It is 4 wheel parts lmao, but ya probably valved for the tacoma. Only reason I ask is because people with lift tend to go with the FJ rear shocks because they are longer, which is why I asked.

    Im sure you will be happy, every one else been with the improvement!

    some people just do not have good experiences with their customer service or install work, thats all

    But if you bought certain shocks that are easy enough to tell they are the correct part, should have no problem.

    That sucks. I know the guy from 4wheel parts, he gave me both shocks for 351. So are you saying i could have used fj fox shocks too?

    not really... depending on the leaf pack you either need new front hangers, shackles pivots, or both...

    traditionally it's both... total chaos makes every thing you need to convert the rear end to SUA (engage 50T, deaver F55 or F67) except for spring perches

    you can pich up pre-fabbed perches from kartek

    Yeah, No problem. Sometimes the metal places will have a "scrap" sheet that will be enough for your bumper for pretty cheap. For the most part any grade will be fine for the use that you are doing with it. :)
