3rd Gen White Tacomas - Post them up!

very nice! How do you like it so far?

 

Had to resist disconnecting the trailer and having some mud fun in the field.

 

I love them. Firm and supportive but smooth. The faster you go, the smoother they get. They stay high in their travel I’ve noticed but I’m also on their 700 lbs springs with no armour or bumpers yet. Waiting for my RCI skids and other goodies to come in

 

Nice set up ! I was going to go with Elka, But my truck had ADS on it when i bought it.
More info on this please ?

 

Those bronze wheels totally makes the truck. Perfect choice for white.

 

Archive Garage Hammer Hangers?

See this thread:

Beware, you're going to be separated from your money on this one. BEST mod you can do for the rear of your truck -- regardless if you wheel or not.

 

Thanks for reply Patrick. Yes - I see $$ disappearing quickly. Sounds like it's worth it thou. You did go with their bushing ? Looks like you did. The High Clearance Cross Tube looks like a good add on to go with also. I haven't read thru all the Postings. Do you know if your spare still fits ?

FYI I’m not the original person who posted that pic. I just knew what it was.

I went with their 3.6 shackle. You could just get poly bushings for the OEM shackle, but I went for the fabbed option.

The cross tube really brings it all together, though you cannot fit the rear tire. It’s fine because I’m getting a new rear bumper eventually and I hate having the spare under the bed.

 

Yes i'm getting the 3.6 Shackle also to complete the Hanger set up. $700 for quality parts for improvements. I'll wait for a sale to get the Cross Tube. I also looking at Rear Bumpers.
So many to choose from. I have a Body Armor Hiline Front Bumper yet to be installed with a Winch.

 

Beaut!

 

checkout WarFab-- I love mine

 

Hey Victor! The HH are definitely worth it, even if you don’t wheel like Marcus said! I love mine. No more jittery rear end, no more hanger twisting and flexing. The factory leafs never actually flex because the factory hangers don’t allow them. With the HH the leafs can actually do their job and move up and down to absorb impacts.

I have the stock shackle with the original bushings. Going to keep those in for now until I wear them out. The HH shackle comes included with replacement bushings for the lower shackle which is a nice bonus. Not mandatory to swap out right away. I would have liked to buy a whole new Archive Garage shackle too but living here in Canada the HH was $800 and shackle was another $700. I couldn’t afford that

 

Hey Justin. Is this it ?

 

Patrick. Thanks for input on this. I appreciate it. I have Deaver rear Leaf Springs (U402 - Stage 1).

So it will complement the Rear set up.

I have Daystar Cradles & Air Bags in rear (came with truck when i bought it). Do i really need these if i don't tow all the time ?
Should i replace them with these..Bumpstops ?

Again thanks for Info.
Victor

 

Do you have OEM suspension? Essentially, I'm curious about weight and how it impacted clearance, if OEM.

 

Your welcome! Deaver’s are nice. These HH will complement them nicely!!!

The daystar cradles and air bags are a nice setup but make no sense to have if you don’t tow or have a bunch of weight in the back. I used to have air bags as well and swapped them out. The Archive u-bolt kit is essentially the same as the Timbren. Nice kit and well worth it

 

Thats what i've been told about the Air Bags - only if i tow or weight. I will sell these & go with Bumpstops.

Thanks again Patrick

 

2020 Tacoma TRD Off Road. Complete suspension change out to bilstein with 700lb coils, expedition leaf springs rear, SPC UCA’s. I’m total exactly 3” overall front and leveled in the back. 285-75-16’s no rub. ARE shell, fixing to sell and change to a different set up, but it all goes really good together. Looking to add leather seat covers next. It’s been a 16 month build as you can afford.

 

2019 TRD pro, nothing crazy changed yet. Got body armor hi-line winch bumper/smittybilt winch/ decked system in back with best top super top. I also got the nfab rock rails. This rig is for hunting primarily and it sees a lot of trails in TN/KY/GA but mostly camping and to and from hunting/scouting scenario's. Id like to get actual sliders at some point and a hi end suspenion lift. I notice clearance issues over anything really when going to some spots. Been a great truck thus far.
