    was wondering if anyone has photos of where they mounted remote res on rear of first gen Tundra. With the offset shocks they are on different angles for each side. Or was there an easy way to mount them parallel to the axle? Guess my OCD has gotten the best of me. Lol. First priority is for them to be safely away from tires, but wanting to see if anyone got them facing the same direction.
    Thanks

    Saw that Archive garage setup. Just ordered their u bolt flip to increase bumpstop height. After I ordered I notice Wheelers has one for about half but doesn't include the flip. Have had these Fox shocks sitting around for a month waiting to figure out the best way to go about this. Don't have a welder so the archive deal would take my truck out of commission for awhile and it's what I use to go to the beach and work.soooo... still thinking there is a way to bolt them rr's up as is and may just have them facing opposite ways.

    From the link "The purpose of this kit is to help you squeeze longer shocks under the bed to gain droop travel without losing ANY bump travel, for Spring Over Axle (SOA) Tundras. "

    Exactly what shocks are you working with? What's the length collapsed vs extended? What springs are you running?

    I run an Alcan set and the closest fitting shock I could find was 2" Fox or SAW with 10" stroke but even then bottoming out and overextending is possible. No resi though.

    I am using Fox 2.5. Model 883-24-004. Ext 23.97 col 15.2. Using Archive garage U bolt flip with Wheelers superbumps and possibly a spacer to get 1inch ext. on rear bumpstop. The Foxes are for a 4Runner so bushing swap is needed as well as bumpstop ext of 1 inch. I have Deaver 10 leaf pack so the new shocks should be able to use the increase in travel. It's not 12 inches like the Archive relocate. But should be way better than a he Bilsteins I've been rockin since 2001. Lol. In the front I have Donahue 2.5 no res.

    I should be able to use factory brake lines with this setup as well.
