Why

 

Check out the "Suspension, wheel and tires ..." section of THIS THREAD, see if it helps you with what you're trying to do. It's our collective community knowledge on all the mistakes/issues/challenges with suspension on 1st gen Tundras.

If nothing in those few bullets helps you solve your problem, come back here and reply, let us know what you're trying to accomplish and why, so we can help you out.

 

Yeah I second the "why?". Do you have pics of your setup. That may help us guide you in the right direction

 

Must be slamming it. My rear 5100’s are 23.25” extended, and 13.84 collapsed.

maybe cantilevered?

 

The reminds me, I need to update the megathread with more lowering info. Needed to hook in with assdog to start working on that.

 

He has the rear lowered according to same post on Reddit

Studs…as in a stem mount on both ends of the shock? A 4” stroke isn’t very much, so you could make just about any shock work by placing the shock mounts exactly where you want them.

 

The older 80s and 90s pickups had the barrel studs on top and bottom for the rear and the shock slid on and a bolt threaded into the barrel stud to hold the shock in place.

Considering our trucks dont have that style mount i can only assume its been slammed / notched and a stud welded in place because those shock lengths seem short. First place i would look is the 89-95 toyota pickup rear shocks. I dont have their lengths off hand but they sound about in that range. The 89-95 4wd rear shock is about 4" longer than the 2wd if my memory is right. Those would be the first place i checked.

 

If you cant find any solid info in the thread Shifty referenced. I know Competition Engineering can help you, but those shocks might be over-kill.
I was in your same situation many moons ago for my 69 Nova and had only a certain amount of travel and CE was able to get me what i needed.

You should be able to place a call to any of the manufactures you are interested in and their tech staff should be able to provide specific shocks for your application.
