    seems as if my rear shocks are going so I figured I would ask you guys what you thought was best.

    I have a 1.5” block in the rear, stock leaf pack. Right now I have the stock shocks with a shock extender. Certainly not how I wanted it but I got the lift for free (shocks, blocks, and toytec coil) now it’s time to replace the rears and was wondering what is the proper shock length I should be ordering? I’ve read that the 5100 don’t work so good with a 1.5”-2” lift? I do some pretty rough off roading, but I don’t need a crazy rear like the icons/Fox shocks.

    Thanks for your help

    RANCHO RS9000XL I loved them on the JK I traded for my Tacoma. Only draw back is they are stock length for Tacoma prerunner, so might be good for your rig if not prerunner or 4X4.
    I got a really good deal from JC Whitney when I bought mine. Will use them on my 2015 DCSB 4X4 when the time comes.

    Bilstein 5100s work just fine on that amount of lift. That'd be my recommendation.

    What @EatSleepTacos said or even Bilstein 5125's basically extended length 5100's but they aren't as long as the B110's

    Bilstein 5125s, you will want to space you rear brake line bracket up if you go that route.
