    sweet. Just gauging interest. It’ll all go up for sale when I cut my truck in half after the wheeling season is over

    They drop farther than short shackles, but only if your 2nd/3rd gen has a shackle reversal done to it.

    No I just have heavy duty hangers. As the leaf spring droops, it pulls the shackle forward and down, the longer the shackle, the further down it pushes the eyelet on the leaf spring. OME designed these leaf springs (all of their Dakar’s) for the Hilux which actually requires a slightly longer spring. The Dakar’s being slightly too short allows this longer shackle set up to fully droop out. Mated to any high quality leaf springs designed for the Tacoma, you wouldn’t get extra droop, because the shackle would be too long to drop out. I spent way too many hours reading this shit to just end up cutting it all off. Oh well

    Eh, snow wheeling is fun, but if I was going to make my truck immobile for an extended period of time I’d rather it be winter

    Be interesting to see how this next weeks plays out. Forecast models could show possible precipitation that will bring us over average snowpack levels.
