t100 rear shock mounts *bed cage kinda

I have my blazeland kit Installed on my t100 and I need to do some work with the rear. I am thinking of a deaver mini pack to go along with my fox 2.5 piggyback internal bypass shocks. (used, off a ford raptor). Now I have a 10 inch bilstein shock installed and my new shocks have about 11.5 inches of travel I believe, over all length is about 5 inches longer. I want a non invasive way to mount them, I need ideas! This is my first time doing anything like this, was surprised how easy the front went.

That is very cool. Definitely something to consider. Little less ground clearance vs little less bed space. Hmmm wish I had a lift in my backyard.

That link is a step in the right direction. Did you get to look under the Raptor to see how it was done by the Factory Ford guys? What did the Raptor morph into after he pulled off the factory shock setup?

I think the guy did a Deaver pack with triple bypass. Ford did pretty much the same thing they did on that tacoma.

Hey Z, hate to divert slightly, but what part numbers are the bilstein's? I've been looking to upgrade to bilstein's.

I don't know what the part # is off hand. They are 10 inch bilstein 5150s. I think valved medium. I used to have the adjustable ranches, they were great but these hold up better.

So far these adjustable rancho's are the best I've had. I've been through pro comp's, then non-adjustable rancho's, now these, and there good, but still not good enough as I'm sure you know lol.

Besides, I've driven and ridden in my little bro's tacoma with bilstien 5150's, and loved it. Thanks for the info!

No prob! It's funny upgrading shocks, when I got my bilsteins I thought they were awesome (which they were) but after a fox coil over in the front, not so much. And I'm sure if ever get triple bypasses I will feel the same thing haha.
