OK, 2 things I sure could use a hand with: 1. rear end leaking a little, and has a bit of slack. need to find a rear chunk. Found one place that rebuilds for almost $1,000. uh,,, nope...... Anyone know of a salvage place to get one? 2. Truck has 2" blocks on rear, and torsion bars cranked up for lift to clear tires. (just bought it, did not do it) I replaced both half shafts up front. all tie rods, idler arm, and pitman arm. Front and rear of vehichle have shocks that are shot. stock shocks would be too short. aftermarket ranchos are $50 each. am looking for an inexpensive shock to go under it. It is a bit of a ruff ride, but when it goes over a bump, it bounces something terrible. does anyone have a cross over for shocks, like "shocks from a 95 f-150 will fit, they are 2 inches longer than t-100 shocks"? I am not looking for super high performance, just something that will work, without paying out the nose for aftermarket.
Sure could use a hand with this, if you guys could. surely someone knows. I have a 92 4x4, and 05 4x4, both stock. this lifted one has cost me a buttload of money already. looks good, runs good, but makes me feel like i am riding on a log truck. thanks guys

Help yall! Still stuck with this one. I called manufacturer about the shocks: they sell stock, and have an alternate that is 4" longer, nothing in between. Guess I will have to get the one that is 1" longer, and suck it up. As for the rear end: Used one shipped from California, would be $900. Gee whiz, I only gave $2,000 for the truck, and it looks and runs great! Only 130,000 miles on it. Rebuild is $700. I found a heap of rear ends for the little Toyotas, but nobody has the T-100. Dig deep guys, hopefully someone knows a way out of this, without breaking my wallet. Thanks!
