    Hey Guys. I'm wondering if anyone here has or knows anyone who has put the Raptor /Fox rear shocks on the the rear of a tacoma? Is this a stupid or unrealistic idea?
    I have a set of shocks laying around and am wondering if it would work on my 2013 TRD sport with a little modification? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

    wouldn't be too terribly hard to mount them up... cycle the leafs and new lower... and/or possibly upper mounts but the valving in the shocks is going to be pretty off

    Would this be an even swap, besides the valving??

    Are they the triple bypass ones off the first gen raptor? if so the way they mount is completely different than a Tacoma shock.

    Shocks are off a 2010 Raptor.. looks like a bolt on, with calving being the only difference I would guess????
    I've already a 2.5", but want to upgrade my shocks... Thoughts, comments, thanks...

    bottom eyelet size looks bigger, top plate is 3 hole, but may be wrong sizing. valving and spring rate would likely be way off
