    Probably a dumb question but im not familiar with the shackle drop lift kits always have put AAL on all mine. This is on my 03 ext. cab 4x4. Has this one had a shackle drop or is this stock? Thanks in advance.

    I don't know if they are stock or not but I know the stock shackles are 3.5" long measured from the center of the bolts.

    "1050% sure" its stock. The first grn tacomas has the shackle in this position but the 05+ have an inverted shackle looks upside down. The bigger the shackle the more lift. There is a ratio but i dont remember. 3in to 1in lift? Anyways aal are probably better for a long term lift and ride quality.
