    6 inch bds lift, pro comp rim on 33s
    hey so i noticed my rear shocks leaking a bit on my taco yesterday.
    it has a 6 inch bds lift with the 5500 shocks. I want to get some new shocks for it so im gonna get some fox shocks. what my question is with the 6 inch lift which has 4 inch blocks in the back im wondering what my options are since they need to be long enough. if anyone can help it would be very appreciated thanks

    Measure the droop, call one of the many companies on here with the measurements of what you need and order them.

    It's not the diameter that you are worried about, its the length. The only way to know for sure is to measure them. You may buy some shocks that are not the right length and then you are back to where you started. Actually worse, because now you have new shocks that you can't even use.

    okay yah I know its lengh im worried about but the shocks on there came with the lift from bds... by measuring the drop you mean ? im really wondering if the fox 2.0s are long enough for me. it doesnt say anything anywhere about wether or not htey will work with the lift...any ways I appreciate the help ill figure it out when im home. like you sayed not worth getting the wrong parts.
