    I am wondering if I can get the 4.5 BDS lift kit and utilize my current shocks (listed below).
    I also want to utilize my CB 2” Shackles.
    Not even sure if BDS will sell partial kits?
    Who of all these amazing Tundra owners can advise?

    My truck has the following:

    On the shocks maybe. I think you would have to call bds. The fox dscs are fantastic shocks! I had the 6112s these are much better. As far as you +2 coach builder if the lift added is the same height as that block then I would speculate yes.

    I don’t have bds. Reading through their install it seems that they do reuse the front shocks even on the 7” lift. The rears probably not because it’s based off the overall travel. This is in regards to stock shocks. So I know the 5160s have a 0-+1 inch of lift. You add in the coach builder you might be just at the amount of travel but it looks like their kit comes with rear shocks anyways. Like I said I would just call bds or email them.
