    That's definitely in large part due to the stock hangers. I do offer the 4.9" shackles that would lower the rear slightly (compared to stock hangers/shackles), but they are better suited to SUA. You can run 1st gen Tundra shackles which are. 5" longer than stock to keep it about stock height. Longer shackles can limit the droop gain from installing these Hammer hangers.
    If you have spare relocated, I recommend the cross tube option for max improvement in ride quality.

    This was before the spacers were put on.

    I did both the 3/8 and the 1/4 spacer from Wheelers plus a set of the bolts that they sell for them. Took me about 20 minutes to remove the bumpstop plates from the ubolt plates and put the spacers on.

    I’ll have to see if they have spacers for the regular bumps that I have and not the Ubolt flips like you’ve got.

    Edit: wait I see you said spacers, not the bumps itself. I have no idea

    If you have those bump stops from them? Then yes, the spacers they sell would work for those as they are the same type of base pretty much for the bump stop!

    Thanks Eric. I don’t mind waiting till the shackles are also ready. I think I’ll install the HH and shackles, remove my air bags which probably causes a little loss of up travel. Then if I’m happy with the ride and current shock length, I’ll just get some superbumps. I hope I drop at least an inch in rear height.
    How hard to do is the shock mount relocate?

    Is there anybody, that’s running the HH, going to the TX Lonestar Toyota Jamboree next week? Would love to put my eyeballs and hands on one in action!

    I shall be there.

    The truck will have Dynatrac stickers on the bedsides instead of TRD Offroad and Archive Garage stickers on the back glass.

    Correct, about 1/4" lower than stock hangers. On the other hand, it seems that most people are getting around 1/4" to 1/2" lift with HH reusing stock shackles.

    Shock Relocation is labor intensive, cutting stock parts off, and welding. It also requires wheel spacers

    Testing my flex with Hammer Hangers, Bilstein 5100's and OME Dakar springs. Could probably get a little more, but I still need cut my tail pipe and relocate my parking brake cable brackets.

    Max Powell got me thinking on this one. I wouldn't mind some more stability in the back, with added droop as a bonus. Running dakars and king 2.5 with remote resi. What set up would you recommend for me to keep my current ride height. Id rather not crank up my kings more than they already are in order to level again.
