Hammer Hangers® by Archive Garage 2005-2023 Tacoma Shackle Hangers

No thanks I am good. Everything works perfectly fine and I have absolutely no need for the flex from a 63 swap. For that matter, the only way I would get the full bennifit from these Deavers since I did the AG hangers would be a relocate and, for what I do, I don't see a need for that. 11 leafs these bitches are beefy

 

how do they ride? I’m like you and have a slightly heavier rear bumper with swing out, but don’t really have much weight in the bed otherwise. Planning on a drawer system soon, 15gal on board water, and a dometic 75dz fridge. That’s gonna put me right at the 600-650lb over stock weight in the rear - max of stage 2’s or min of stage 3....just don’t know which way to go yet. I don’t want it to ride like a dump truck without weight since that’s all coming late this year/spring next year.

 

To me, they ride great. On a daily basis the only weight they haveon them is the bumper and swingouts. When I hook up the camper the rear only drops about 3/4" and it all rides nicely. Granted when the trailer is hooked up I usually also have a couple of totes of gear in the bed also. I just don't choose to ride arond with stuff in or on the truck all the time. Like when we came back from the beach last weekend the next day I removed everything from the roof rack. It looked cool I guess but not gong for any cool status points either and just choose to keep things fairly light.

 

You'll be happy with the clickers. I went overkill with the triples and SOA. If I could do it again, I would have saved a small bit and gone with 2 tube bypasses, but no regrets as I can just keep rebuilding and reusing these for the life of the truck. Standard rod ends on your shocks? With a 14" I'd encourage you to special order a welded lower rod end. It will save you some clearance when you tac in the lower shock axle tabs.

Deavers are top of the line IMO, I've heard good things about Alcans too but I don't see many people running them. I'm excited, I'm picking up a Stage 2, so I should maintain weight and still ride nice unloaded. The 14" shock has droop for days so I'm also excited to see the articulation I'll be able to get with them.

 

Well I can tell you with the stage 3’s when I put it on a lift the B110’s bottomed out at about 1/2-2/3 rotation of the shackles with the HH’s there was quite a bit left there but it’s all I need

 

thanks for the tip about the rod end, had no clue. I’m still a couple months out from ordering. I think the clickers on smoothies are a custom order anyway, and I had planned on having them setup the valving for my weight as well.

 

Oh baby look at these hammer hangers flex. Paired with 12” kings.

Hope y’all had fun

 

We did, weather was really on our side. It barely rained even though it was forecast to rain all afternoon yesterday and into today. Hope to do it again soon.

 

Flexing is cool

I should see my Hammers tomorrow. Woot woot!

 

Figured I would join in and share a flex shot as well...

 

Got my HH & cross tube installed yesterday

Ride quality has improved greatly as anticipated

Really well made stuff, I compliment Archive's craftsmanship

Install took me 5 hours and isn't for the faint of heart as there's no turning back once the grinder is fired up....but the kit is well designed and it all comes together like it was meant to be there

Another happy customer, thanks Eric @ARCHIVE

 

I have a stock 2020 Off road will these make my back look more lifted than the front and make the truck look dumb?

Thanks

 

No, at most these provide like 1/4" of lift which is a negligible amount. No one will ever notice without taking a tape measure to it.

 

Awesome can’t wait to get them on.

 

Thank you for the feedback!

Thanks @EatSleepTacos @hoarder23 and @Adventure4x4 for the flex pics

 

The back is supposed to be higher on a pickup. This allows you to carry loads without looking uphill the whole time.

 

Right. I never understood the whole "leveled" look...I prefer at least an inch rake.

 

I think he meant "will this lift it higher than it already is for a really exaggerated stink bug look". Like how shackle flips can provide a noticeable lift. Not so much anything against a little rake.
