Tacoma 2.5" x 12-14" Shock Relocation 2005-2023 2nd 3rd gen Archive Garage

Yes, you'll get (4) axle limit strap tabs with your shock relocation, for double shear arrangement. I recommend these be mounted to rear of axle, just outboard of leaf springs, run strap up to frame, match drill 1/2" hole in side of frame, and bolt strap buckle to frame

Brand new so I don't have strap lengths.
I think the Kartek offerings look good, they come in 1" increments and are $30 each. Straps are dirt cheap, going forward, every Tacoma should have them and Archive can help with solutions, this is the first offering

 

I recommend the camburg ones. $62 shipped and great quality. I had to use 13”, but of course mines not the same as anyone else’s. But it’ll be in that ballpark. I’d guess 14” if mounted how you recommend.

 

Someone tell me to get out my forklift and droop my Tacoma to measure. I'm just tired, fat and sassy

 

Sweet! i cant wait!

 

thanks! camburg is not that far from my place ill check them out.

 

When did these become part of the package?

 

Just started, anyone who bought my shock relocation or Hammer hangers can get these for $20 shipped for rest of 2020

 

You sound like me except I'm tired, fat, and grumpy

 

I am assuming that since my B110's limit my droop and I have no need for the added flex of a relocate due to my usage I really don't have a need for limit straps? Or are they suggested to keep from over extending the B110's?

 

What length brake lines is everyone running? I have some +8” I had planned on using with a 63 swap, but think they might be a tad overkill...?

 

I have 4+ and they are not long enough with the 14" shocks so I'd keep those 8+ lines you have.

 

You dont really want your shocks to be the limiting factor in your down travel. Think about it, when fully extended and floating a tire in the air, all the weight of your axle is coming down on that shock. Better to have that force on a strap than the shock. That said, I have been running b110s with a shackle flip, without straps, for at least 3 years and they are without a doubt the limiting factor. No issues. Yet. They aren't exactly an expensive shock so I havent been too worried about busting them up knowing I was doing this relocate. $1600 worth of new foxes on the other hand, are getting limit straps.

Limit straps are probably a good idea. You are protecting your investment in shocks by adding them but I honestly wouldn't loose sleep about your b110s. If you blow them out, just replace them or get the archive kit, slap some 12s or 14s in there and worry about it then when you've got over $1000 into some kings or foxes or whatever your preference is. My 2 cents worth of wisdom.

 

I installed +9" lines last year in preparation for this mod if you want to talk about overkill. I wouldnt spend money on shorter ones if you have +8" on hand.

 

Oh it makes perfect sense to me. I don't wheel hard like alot of you guys do TBH my back just won't take it. We pull our tiny camper up fire roads and logging roads and we have been to a offroad park to play and will again. My whole purchase of the Deavers and hammer Hangers was centered more toward towing and off road towing not as much a concern about flex. have I been in situations where I had a back tire off the ground? Yep, several times but that was before the rear suspension upgrade.. Perhaps it is best for me to just keep doing what i am and keep an eye on it and if needed they can easily be added. Any thoughts are welcome

 

Where'd you guys purchase your extended lines at? My little +4" lines aren't enough. Searching the web I keep finding 2" and 4" but no more.

 

yup. I think I paid a tad over $100 for mine.

 

What length did you have them make yours?

nvm. +8”. A few post back.

 

I think DMZ has 26", probably made by crown

 

Sick, that should be enough. After that, I'm going to strap it. DMZ is just a few miles down the freeway from me anyways.

 

Alright peeps, I’m about to order some rear 2.5x14’s from ADS...

Anything special I need to request? @Supra4x4 i think you’re the only other ADS guy here...

I know I need welded rod ends, to help shorten things up a tad. I’m going to add compression adjusters as well, and have them valve to my trucks rear axle weight.

I’m not sure if they can add an IBP but if so, I’ll check to see how much more that will cost. I’m not going to bother with triple bypasses, it’s mainly a street truck and the type of wheeling I do doesn’t warrant them.

should I request a specific RR hose length?
