    Hello all,
    I have a 2001 Toyota Tacoma, and have decided that I want the MCM Fab +3.5 kit with King 2.5x8 coilovers w/remote reservoirs I am now trying to find what to do with the rear. I don’t want to cut into the bed space since I use it a lot. I was looking at the Opt off-road FGP Outboard Smoothbody shock relocation kit. My thought is to pair that with some king 2.5x12 with remote reservoirs. I am unsure what leaf pack to run, I have seen Deavers a lot. Also what bump stops front and rear and how/we’re to mount them.
    Thanks!

    Check out the long travel BS thread, all your answers are there. But you’re going to be sorely disappointed with how lacking the rear is in comparison to the front if you don’t go SUA with big shocks or links.

    What are you planning on doing with your truck? Long Travel BS doesn't have a lot of guys with knowledge about 1st gens - you can use the FGP shock hoop with any of these options if you don't want to cut the bed:

    also here's a ton of information about 1st gen LT
