    I do I can give you an approximate because its bolted on rn. But from the middle of each bolt its about 4 1/2 inches And five from bolt end to bolt end.

    Edit: just saw your picture and they look longer than mine

    That truss is only for pre-Tacoma 8" Toyota axles (and to current 4Runner axles)

    All Tacomas, T100, and Tundra axles are "8.4" axles, (except 1st gen 4cyl 5 lug) Still an 8" ring gear but the 3rd has a bearing back brace hence the different shaped rear sump.

    There is no truss for the "8.4" so you gotta work with what you have.

    Thanks for measuring man!

    Relentless fab makes a truss for that axle.

    I believe @jberry813 had one.

    I wasn't satisfied with the government taking all my money for handouts to others so I decided to waste it myself.

    So...is the giant motor sports kit decent? Or was this solely in reference to the shocks he exclusively makes?

    I think I have that truss laying around the yard from a friend's pre-Tacoma project. Do you know if it would it fit the 2nd gen e-locker housing?

    X2......Relentless fabrication makes one. @jberry813 was the first to have the template made. It's a 5 piece that fits good. I did mine and absolutely love it. Think it was like around $100 for the 3 pieces. You may need to modify slightly based on your particular setup but the truss in your picture looks like a definite no go to me.
