    On their website, ATO offers a 6" grease-able "super duty" rear leaf shackle for 05+ Tacoma that will lift the rear by 1.5"

    Anyone install one of these? Any opinion? Any issues?

    I just installed 5100's front and rear. Front set at 0.85" but will likely go to 1.75" when I install a front receiver hitch and winch/ATO tray combo. I'll need to lift the rear about 1.5" to level out and also to manage the weight of the winch combo when attached to my rear receiver hitch. Bilstein specs say that the rear 5100's can accommodate up to a 1.5" lift with an extended shackle, block, AAL or new spring pack. I wanna go with a longer shackle. I'm trying to manage my expenses and time underneath the truck.

    My truck is an 05 DCSB with new frame (from the rusty frame replacement campaign) installed in Nov 2015 and therefore new rear leaf springs. Daily driver, with occasional excursions off road, nothing crazy.

    Thanks!

    Are you running the shackle flip kit? Which exact 5100 are you running (IE what Bilstein part number)?

    Thanks @ArmorTech - I've switched gears and decided to go with AAL's to get the lift that I want.
