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

Which comes the third option of a custom leaf pack as well. I want a bigger shock both in stroke and Dia for the sake of reducing internal pressure.

 

Does anyone have a good photo of HH installed with stock springs that shows the shackle too? Or can someone tell me how far back and down the eye has been moved?

I'm trying to get a sense of what the shackle angle looks like after install.

 

Stock springs are going to look the same as Stock hangers. The design is only a .25" different than stock.

 

Got that much, thank you. I'm asking about shackle angles.

(Also, MGM FTW.)

 

Watch my video in post #1, I had stock springs + AAL installed at the time

 

By the time Marlin releases that kit. I suspect half the 3rd gen crowd will jump ship to the Bronco.

 

If it uses the same trans as the current raptard, they’ll feel at home over there. Those trans are junk. My buddies new raptor has been in the shop 6 times already with trans problems. Many many others reporting the same thing.

 

I hear ya. Old boss had to lemon law his F150 Platinum that had the rapter engine and trans.

 

Thanks Eric!

 

Stock springs, stock shackle with poly bushing, progressive add-a-leaf

 

Thanks for the assistance

 

Those hangers are a work of art. Their right up there with the Mona Lisa.

 

Word. Thank you EFSI. What does the shackle angle look like at full stuff? And I know the stock springs won't droop out a ton, but are you noticing a significant difference with the new bushings? How far can you manage to pull the shackle forward with the stock springs and AAL?

 

I don't have any compressed pics of the shackle, but this is as far as I got it to drop out with 10.5" shocks in the stock location. I never used the stock shackle with oem bushing, because I knew it would severely limit travel. New shackles and bushings were installed at the same time as the hangers.

 

That looks pretty derned good for OEM springs.

 

I know this is the HH thread but figured I’d bump it for more sexy AG pics. My Ubolt flip and bump kit came in today. I gotta order the cross tube soon. Can’t wait to install my deavers...

 

yee yee



You can also see my Archive ubolt flip on the bottom of my bench still wrapped up, and Deaver U402 stage 3’s in the background

@EatSleepTacos I’m gonna follow your tutorial linked in the OP...any other pro tips? I don’t have a plasma cutter otherwise I’d use that to speed things up, cutting the stock stuff off.

 

Angle grinder works too, just less fun.

 

should I even bother trying to cut the stock hanger parallel with the frame or just grind down the rivets and air chizle the whole stock hanger off the frame?
