Do you have a side pic of the shackle mount at rest

Here's what I have. I'll work on getting a better from directly sideways.

First run is spoken for. I'm starting a list for the second run.

Does the truck in the pic still have the stock spring pack with an aal? Looks like longer brake lines and shocks are going to be needed, sweet! Looking good.
Thanks, Cam-shaft.

Truck in pics has the TSB springs with Wheeler's 3-leaf AAL. Longer shocks and brake lines are needed to gain the articulation. The pics are with the shocks unbolted. The shocks need to be 3-3.5" longer than stock. I'm working on finding some good shock options. Looks like a 10-11" travel shock is going to be about perfect.

Do you want PM's for those of us on the list with our addresses and payment?

 

[fabjunkie]

I'll contact everyone when I'm ready to ship.

How is it coming? No I am not trying to rush you. I want you to feel confident and good with your final product. I dont want you releasing product and thinking you should of changed this or that, if you know what I mean. Just want your thoughts.
Thanks, Cam-shaft.

Shock options

So who has theirs installed now? What shocks did you go with?

I'm planning on a 3" ToyTec or similar lift for my truck. Would this be a waste or redundant for me to do?
I have never worked on suspensions so pardon if the question is really dumb.

Redundant No. Toytec Lift is like all the other options Shocks and Springs.
This is a change to the actual Toyota designed suspension attachment point. So cutting old shackle mounts off and welding new ones on.
This is similar to older Toyota's and the current Hilux. It allows for more wheel travel and actually a touch more lift in the rear. If you are not that savvy with suspension set up and design then, Id say finish your lift. Read up on what is being offering and fabricated.
Then make your decision on whether its something you want or would want to tackle.

The pictures show exactly what this is and why its a better setup than stock 05+ suspension design from Toyota.
The beginning of this thread is a good place to start to find out what this is and why its a good thing.

i would like to get in on this. it looks like a great idea.

I would do this once some get on some trucks. I already have an OME Dakar setup and have been opposed to the "Chevy" style shackle Toyota decided to use.

Well I received mine very promptly and I have to say They are nice!!

I'm going to have them powder coated I think. Since they are set up to bolt on seems like the easy thing to do.
Once I have them on I will take them to a friend who has a Ramp and get some measurements for shocks. Brake lines and shocks will be a must to gain the full use of these very nice shackle flips.
