    Has anyone relocated their rear shocks for 10" shocks AND not interfere with the spare tire location?

    I have 32" tires and don't plan on going bigger (yes, famous last words), so I want to keep the spare under the bed.

    Shock relocation to the outside of the frame.

    Will require wheel spacers and possibly stiffening of your frame.

    Interesting thought, but I have written that off since I'm not going to widen the track of the truck. If I were to go long travel, I would do this and put in a tundra rear axle to avoid spacers.
    Thanks for that link, I'll read through the thread.
