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

Absolutely! Those hangers with the crossbar are game changers. Throw in the Stage 3’s and bam!

 

Damn i'm on stage 1s and just decided to go down the RTT rabbit hole. I'm getting a sub 300lb set up though, so i'll probably be fine but damnnn I can't wait for those HH, shackles and crossbar to arrive!

 

It is so worth the wait.

I gotta say I love the U402 III’s. Thought it would be stiff, but it’s not. Of course, I gotta lot of weight with the rear bumper.

 

Mine rides like a dump truck with just the rear bumper, I’m definitely ready to drop the GFC on to help my truck ride right

 

Shipping this week. I received a dense bunch of orders with Hh + shackles + cross tube

Hey, props for having limit straps on there. Archive now offers the axle tabs with bolts as a kit

 

YESSSS!!!

 

I've got the all pro expo packs on the way for my 2020. They're supposed to give 3 inches of lift and I'm afraid if I get the HH my rear end will be too high with the extra 1/2inch of lift

 

No, the rear will actually be a hair lower, because the Hh relieve the shackle angle so it will be vertical, instead of laid rearward, which also helps the ride quality

Also, historically, the AP springs don't tend to give their rated lift/load on a DC

 

Well that solves that. I was actually worried the 3 inches of lift would be too much as I didn't plan on running near the 500 lbs constant load they're 'rated' for.

 

Hey archive I'm looking to buy a set of hangers for my 2010 tacoma. It's still a daily driver with stock leafs and I don't run a lot of extra weight in the back. Just lookin to buy the hangers themselves, no extra goodies for now. I'm assuming I just put no thanks on all the options except for the poly bushings $40 option. How necessary are those for my set up?

 

I wouldn't even do the poly bushings on an otherwise fully stock Tacoma. I recommend the base kit. Start a conversation for TW coupon code

Hh and stock springs are a great combo for ride and handling

 

I know this isn't an advertised use/advantage of your Hammer Hangers...but imagine stock shackles here at about the 9:02 mark!

Always nice to have a few Archive'd rigs hitting technical trails here in the middle of VA!

CLICK IT!!! DO IT!!!

 

Boink! Side note, looks like I finally got my limit straps dialed in based off this shackle angle. Right at horizontal and not forced further downward, so I don’t need to worry about anything binding.

 

Damn!

 

Can you use the 4.5" shackles with soa

 

Yes

 

Order placed (# R115531999). Thanks again, Eric!

 

You’re going to love them. Hopefully, you purchased the cross bar as well.

 

I finally got my Hammer Hangers and as the winner of the last drawing, they were comped for me. I also purchased the shackles and the bar along with the U-Bolt flip kit with superbumps about a month prior. I finally had a chance to get everything installed the day before yesterday and WOW. I definitely notice the improved power transfer from the stiffer rear end along with the smoother ride. I just ran a 6 day off road trip with my stock hangers and I can't wait to run it again in a month with these installed and to just get off road with them in general. Thanks again Eric, the fit, finish, and instructions are all great! Don't let anyone tell you taking the old hangers off is easy, it's quite the pain in the ass. Lol the second side is always easier than the first though.

Interested in hearing some details and specs of what you plan for your Tacoma springs. Not sure if you explained it in this thread somewhere I tried looking but maybe I missed it.
I’m planning on buying your HH ASAP when my current circumstances change. And still deciding on leaf springs. Leaning towards Deaver but open to see what else is out there.
