Tundra rear shocks on a 3rd gen

I hear some folks run Tundra shocks in the rear to gain another inch or so of travel when lifted with an aftermarket leaf pack like Deaver, Icon, etc. What gen of Tundra shocks are we talking about? Are the mount points the same, or some modification required?

I was comparing the Ironman4x4 Foam Cell Pro shocks and they appear slightly different where it mounts to the axle.

2007+ Tundra on left, 2005+ Tacoma on right:

 

Looks like Accutune is doing this with Fox shocks. Anyone have further insight?

Yep, I was about to say the same thing.
They modify the shock to fit the Tacoma’s shock mount.
You can check out a better description here.

It's way thicker, the bore of the shock doesnt fit through the top.

 

I don't see anything about Tundras in the post you directed me to. Or did you mean the thread in general?

 

AccuTune talks about their Tundra Fox shocks that are compatible with the Tacoma throughout the thread. You just have to use the search

 

Here are the shocks from their website. They modify them to fit the Tacoma shock mounts.

I'm running Tundra rear shocks on my 3rd gen . 2009 Tundra as i remember. The lower mount bushing is 1/4" wider then the Tacoma ones so you have to grind/mill them down 1/8" on each side of the bushing. I've run both Bilstiens and now on Kings . They give about 10.5" of travel to the rear .

 

Thanks! That's really good info. I see you're running a limit strap -- something I don't know much about. Are limit straps adjustable, or do you figure out how much droop you can safely handle and then buy it in a pre-made size?

Are those leafs Deavers?

 

OME hd leafs. 1" lift block and a 3degree shim. U-bolt flip kit from relentless fab. cut down daystar bump stops from Amazon. I'm running 24" limit straps also from Amazon I don't think I need them but Kings cost to much to F'up. I've been known to get a little air out on the dunes .

 

How much rake do your truck have with that much rear lift?

 

Truck sits maybe 1/2” high in the rear without the rtt and shower. With everything loaded it’s really close to dead level I’ll take a fresh picture tomorrow. Don’t have one in my phone that shows it very well

 

Shocks don’t lift the truck, the leaf packs do that

 

Thanks for your contribution, bud!

 

Here a picture from this morning

 

Not as bad as I was expecting. What do you have up front, suspension wise and lift height?

 

Up front are king 2.5 extended with 700lbs coils, 3” of lift 2.25” custom bump stops. SPC uca’s running 4.8 degrees of caster 0 camber. Total chaos weld on gussets. Truck has a winch, warm semi hidden bumper dual batteries, full skids ( pro front, RCI mid and t case, mobtown fuel tank )

 

Are you on archive garage rear hangers as well or is it just the rear bumper making them look aftermarket?

 

I have not changed my rear hangers yet, I’m going to wait and see how it does on the Rubicon

 

Not to high jack the thread, but have you had a chance to full droop the rear?
