    I have a base model 2013 Tacoma and looking to get another 2 inches out of the back. I’m wanting to go with longer shackle mounts but can’t seem to find them. Does anybody have a part number or what exactly to search for. Thanks in advance

    Not possible without a shackle flip first. There are a few vendors on here that make them.

    Just to double check, do you have five or six lugs

    My axle is on top of my springs so I would have to get a flip kit right?

    Look at the shackle. A longer shackle would lower the truck if it actually would fit - which it doesn't because the frame is in the way.

    You could do a shackle flip which isn't easy and most who have done it didn't like how it handled afterwards.

    Add a leaf, different leaf springs, and/or blocks are your most cost effective options.

    If you choose blocks the Tacoma axle wrap issue will be greatly exaggerated.
