Need @Silverback to test this gem out and let us know if this is a platform that has some possibilities for future off road/ expo use.

So sad because I loved the old Celica Supras. I remember being about 14 years old riding in a dads friends Supra back in 82 or so. Thing was like a spaceship inside.
But now you could put sliders and bumpers on a spaceship!

2005-2018 Tacoma Hammer Shackle Hangers Mid Travel SOA+SUA TRD Pro
Works with Dakars and supposedly increases travel. Supposed to also be stronger than the OEM hangers too.
@Silverback , you have work to do.

That's Mr Asshole to you
A large price for such a small amount of metal.
Get to it @Silverback and report back for the people running leafs.

So after the shackle flip kit what else needs to be extended to make sure nothing gets tore up at full droop? Have to add the $$ + $ + $ = $$$

Need limit straps if you try to max the droop. If my truck moved I could easily rip out the e-brake cable and brake lines and my brake lines are already extended by 4". Basically "if" you want to run a e-brake - the cable is the limiting factor. Strech it to much and it will lock the brakes. Thats always funny to see on the trail. Last time I was out a guy kinked his and we had to cut the cable to get his brakes unlocked
I also went with a 6" XJ shackle and that's a little aggressive. Oh and don't forget the new shocks & bump stops you'll need. I'm not done tweaking mine yet, but I think I put my travel #'s in my build a year or two ago. back when i did it I'm pretty sure I was the only person fitting 12" shocks w/o adding hoops. Once I get it running - Ill get back on track with setting up the rear suspension. As of now my 4yo dakars aren't even settled/broken in yet - and I lost some up travel I need to figure out how to get back.

I think you misread the title... This is not the "talk him out of doing something to his truck" thread.
I first came across these on this guy's build thread: ETxTacoma's Kinda Flexy Dynatrac Rear Build and BS Thread. I'd like to know if they add any benefit.

@Silverback
Get the geometry of it and Ill compare it to my old hangers. Heck I can draw it up in CAD like I did for Drew when he was "making flips". I might even still have that file from years ago when I drew them up from Rich's old shackles.
It keeps the shackle in the same direction as stock so unless they changed the placment of the holes in the hangers or the shackle length, it's identical to stock.
As far as I know the only way he's going to add flex is if they lengthen the shackle and or move the mount back towards the bumper. Should handle better on road vs than a truck with a shackle flip, but that's just my thinking about geometric theory applied to it.

I'll just leave this here: URD Spec-U LT Headers for 1GR-FE, Tacoma, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser - Underdog Racing Development
I've been wanting these for years... @Oswego has a pair he put on his new engine IIRC?
Since my 4R is paid off now I may end up putting headers on it to help the supercharger. It will be a year or so though; I have a list of work to do on the Tacoma first.

Sadly I bought my headers many moons ago before these were out. Mine are JBA long tubes with ceramic coating in titanium color.
Only thing I can say is I got them in by myself pretty easily after I put the engine in. Helped I have everything else removed I'm sure.

I've heard it's a huge PITA to put headers on the 3.4 in the 4Runner
