just got my pp spings on, i need to get some extended travel or length front shocks, how /where can i find these i guess the shock will be the same length just the shaft ticks out farther,thanks in advance

ok i just got a email back from toytec they said the longest front shocks they have are OME but they are only a half inch longer, is there any others out there? where can i order them? does anyone know if tokico makes ext. travel shocks? what are you guys running

I dont think it should be much of a problem if those are the 1" pp springs. I was running stock length shocks and 3.5" of lift and it wasnt horrible, my flex was limited though.

In my research on PP springs, it seems that many are running them with Tokico Trekmasters with good results (ride quality, and length). I just ordered a set of Tokicos off eBay, and should have the PP springs on this weekend, if you'd like some firsthand experiences.

you dont need longer struts up front. The down travel of the front suspension is limited by it's geometry so even with longer struts you won't get more travel.

Its been researched quite a bit, but the longest recommended shock you should use is an OME shock. Your flex won't be limited by the shock, yet by the makeup of the IFS, which is not designed to have very much travel.

The CV's and tie rods are the first that would break if you did end up trying to put a longer shock up in the front.

Also, remember that the shocks are inboard from the tires, so 1" of travel at the shock will equate to more than 1" travel at the wheel due to the longer radius, and sweep a longer arc..
