2. Choose Your Rear Shock Lift Range
This selection should be based on your Tacoma's actual rear suspension lift height.
0–1.5" Rear Lift

Choose this if your Tacoma's rear suspension is approximately:
2–3" above factory rear ride height
Includes:
FOX 883-26-113 Performance Elite DSC Rear Shocks
Important
Do not choose rear shock length based only on how much weight you carry.
Choose the rear shock according to your truck's rear suspension lift height.
3. Choose Your Rear Leaf Springs
Factory Leaf Springs
Choose this if you want to keep your existing factory Tacoma rear leaf springs.
No replacement leaf springs are included with this selection.
Best for: customers who already have the rear ride height and load capacity they want.
OME Medium Load – arbEL111R
Choose the Old Man Emu Medium Load leaf springs if you want to upgrade the factory rear leaf packs for improved load support and suspension performance.
Best for:
- Daily driving
- Trail use
- Camping equipment
- Light to moderate constant accessories
- General-purpose Tacoma builds
Includes:
2 × Old Man Emu arbEL111R Rear Leaf Springs

- Drawer/storage systems
- Recovery equipment
- Overland equipment
- Other substantial constant rear loads
Includes:
2 × Old Man Emu EL112R Rear Leaf Springs
The EL112R is the heavier-duty option and is intended for trucks carrying significant constant rear weight.
FOX Performance Elite Technology
The FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Series is designed for drivers who want substantially more suspension capability than a conventional monotube shock.
DSC Adjustable Damping
FOX's Dual Speed Compression (DSC) adjusters allow you to fine-tune compression damping for different terrain, vehicle loads, and driving conditions.
This gives you more control over how the suspension behaves whether you're:
- Daily driving
- Running washboard roads
- Crawling technical trails
- Carrying additional gear
- Driving faster off-road terrain
Remote Reservoirs
The external reservoirs increase fluid capacity and help manage heat during demanding off-road use.
2.5" Aluminum Shock Bodies
Large aluminum shock bodies provide increased oil capacity and efficient heat dissipation for more consistent performance during extended use.

Quick Selection Guide

Important Fitment Note
Rear ride height can vary depending on vehicle configuration, accessories, constant load, and leaf-spring setup.
