    Looks like a great start. I look forward seeing pictures of the production version shackle angle.

    I have contacted the guys who purchased the production kits to get some pictures. Could be a few weeks. However, I am confident there will be plenty of angle on the shackles with production updates.

    Here is a diagram showing the production shackle tube moved 1” toward front on the brackets. With this change, even with the brackets in the rearmost position, the tube will be ¼” forward from Cam-shaft’s truck (in foremost position). This change will make the brackets work from stock springs, thru the overlanding spring range, and up to more aggressively arched springs. Then there is the option to slide the brackets along the frame and drill new holes if your setup is extreme. Cameron did look at the situation with the shock unbolted and the spring did not get too close to inverting. He mentioned it showed about a 3" gap to his current shock length (Bilsteins).

    So here is one of my customers install with Deaver 10 pack springs. He has the brackets all the way forward hence that steep angle, but looks like the deavers are fairly long. He says the shock is the limiting factor and is planning a 12" stroke air shock install in the coming months. He says he is very satisfied and already had them off road in rough conditions. Follow @alternativecreation on Instagram

    One thing I noticed from his picture is the stock bumper bracket "teeth" looks like it will need to be trimmed 3/4" to fit brackets in rearmost position

    How does the length of that spring compare to the stock ones?

    Evan, I do not know the details there. Hopefully one buyer will have his kit installed soon, I think he has stock springs.

    Can you add to this list of Tacoma spring makers?
    Allpro, Alcan, Deaver, OME

    Anyone have an update or tried these out with different set-ups?

    I am considering this on a basic 5100 lift with TSB springs with 1" toytec AAL.

    Hey Littles, no one with stock springs, whether 3 or 4 pack TSB, has installed this yet, only OME and Deaver (post #29).
    But your plan should work very well, I designed them to work with stock springs.

    Currently painted with VHT suspension epoxy paint. Eventually, the plan is to start Nickel plating

    Considering this for my 08 reg cab prerunner with 2012 4 leaf oems. Will be perfect it seems to get back any droop from oem leafs if the reg cab ever gets them to. I have 5100's at 1.85 up front & the 4 leafs did nice leveling in the rear without any AAL. I like the idea of beefing up these parts too. I also like the serviceable aspect with the grease fitting as well.
