    Probably because they are meant to be beefed up stock replacements and aren't meant to change the susp geometry :notsure:

    This ^ we want a stock truck to be able to replace if needed. In fact we sell these too quite a few of the local body shops to avoid them needing to buy a whole new frame if the truck is rear ended that the frames are still good. Toyota does not sell a replacement hanger you will need a whole new frame or pull them off at a junk yard if they are damaged beyond repair.

    Has anyone tried these with Dobinson's L59-111-R springs? If so, what kind of modification (if any) was needed to run BAMF shackles?

    The second leaf doesn't appear to be back that far. if anything it looks like maybe small corners shaved on the second leaf.

    Add me to the list of people that want the brace. Looks like I just need to add a rear swingout bumper to that order as well

    Expedition Essentials, only caveat is that you can't get just a compressor or it doesn't work. I did the bed mount, compressor, inflate and deflate kit. Code United2020 gets 10% off everything! https://expeditionessentials.com/co...oducts/toyota-tacoma-bedside-compressor-mount
    I paid $774 for the compressor, inflation and deflation kit, bed storage box mount and extension harness!

    Has anybody put these things in a 2019?

    My top holes in the frame (horizontal bolts) had to be drilled out and the bottom holes aren't even close to lining up.

    I'm beyond pissed off at this point, anyone else run into this????

    Yep 2020 trucks as well. Toyota is running the same hanger on all the frames. I just replied to your pm

    Alright, now that I've cooled down and spoken with Jerry it seems I need to work on reading comprehension. Totally my issue.

    I was able to press the rivets out cleanly and didn't understand I needed to drill out all the holes to 1/2." The holes in the top of the frame I drilled out already and got the bolts through. The bottom holes I still need to open up.

    Thanks to @JLee for the quick response and ability to speak on the phone early this AM.

    Overall, these hangers are great and I can't wait to get a cross brace as well.

    Just put one side on, holy shit a lot of drilling. I'll do the other side tomorrow. Rides great, stock springs with 400+ lbs in the back, stll have some rake.

    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.
    I have to ask. Are you give a rear suspension review after only installing one side?

    It rides the same as in height. Once I put on the other side I'll take it on and off road to see if there's a difference in ride quality from the stock hangers.

    Okay, “rides” threw me off. In addition you really need both sides on before you will see ride height since there are torsional factors at work on all four points of the suspension at the same time. The other three will compensate for one being off. Don’t get me wrong, I love Jerry’s work and have a set coming. I also have a shackle flip and appreciate the work you put in today since I am familiar with removing those rivets.
