Interest in shackle flip for 05+ Taco???

I'm All In

After doing some research and really taking a hard look at my rear suspension I think this is a great idea, the concept looks really solid.

Here are some links to the optional XJ shackles that may complement these brackets so people can get an idea on price etc:

Have you made a shackle flip kit for the 95.5-04 guys? if not could someone point me in the right direction please?

Look under your truck With a 1" XJ shackle and Allpro Expo I sit at 25 1/5" from center of hub to bottom of fender with 400lbs in the bed.

Added. Thanks.



Yes, but every setup is going to be a little different so I can't say what the limiting factor will be at that point. Actually, even a completely stock truck will take advantage of it. Just on a stock truck, the shocks and brake lines are going to limit the travel available.

Sounds like you got AllPro's rear suspension system? If so, those Fox's should be the extended ones, not an actual OE replacement. FYI, AllPro's brake lines are 5" longer than stock, not just 1".

Thanks for the info, I'm not running All pro's full suspension on the rear, just the leaf pack. Brake lines I'm using another aftermarket set. I'm not actually sure how much longer they are but I thought they were only an 1". As for the rear I'm using the King Shocks, I don't believe they're extended travel; but anyways as of now count me in.

I would have a hard time imagining that they're only an inch longer, but I have been surprised before. Stocks are about 21". Added you to the list. Thanks.

Thanks guys! Updated the list. Keep this up and we'll be prototyping next week!

Just added another. Almost half way there!

Hey guys, I'm going to have to put a time limit on this so I'll let it go to the end of the month.

Prototype is on and functions great. Took us about 6 hours with some breaks in there, so easily doable in a day. There's a few detailed things to watch for so I'll include those in the instructions. 285/75's drop almost completely past the rockers now. Both pics above are with the tire just starting to lift off the ground. It gave ~1/2-5/8" lift on the test truck. Every truck will be slightly different, so I'm going to say expect 1/2"-possibly 1" depending on set up.

I'll start the production run this week and should be ready to start shipping in 2-3 weeks. More pics in a bit...

Both pics the tire is just starting to come off the ground. The opposite side isn't compressed all the way either.
