    Looking for 2” extended rear leaf spring shackles. Can’t find any for 3rd gen only 2nd. Has anyone else had this issue or come across needing extended rear shackles?

    Are you lowering your truck? Not sure why else you would use a longer shackle with the Tacoma design. I am genuinely curious about this...

    You might want to glance under your truck to check out how the spring hangers are arranged, longer shackles would lower a 3rd gen.

    Nada. In the stock shackle setup, a longer shackle will lower the rear. With a shackle flip, a longer shackle would lift.

    Random but can you run Archive Garage shackles without hammer hangers? If so, is there any benefit?

    6” lift, full body armor( Hline bumpers, Hooke road roof rack W recovery board mounts, icon leaf springs, spidertrax spacers1.25”, 35x12.50xr20” tires, fuel 20x10” rims, total Chaos bed stiffeners, blacked out tail lights, full light kit pod lights, front and rear light bars, skid plate, rough country steps.
    So I had my truck lifted on a 6” that wasn’t high enough so I went to 35” tires gave me more ground clearance but the rims looked super small. So I changed the rim to a 20” on 35’s then I couldn’t turn so I added a 1” body lift. Still couldn’t turn full lock so the shop recommended a 2” leveling kit now I can turn full lock added some JBA UCA to help with angles now the truck looks like it’s from south fucking Carolina it’s 1.5 lower in the rear I’m trying to add 2” lift to the back without spending a ton of money I’m already thousands over budget on this truck.

    The guy with an 8" lift, 20's and 35's shouldn't be making fun of anyone. You and the Carolina Squat boys are kindred spirits

    9” of lift and no I don’t like the squat look or anything close to that.

    If you can't turn on 35s, stop lifting your truck higher. Start cutting shit out of the way. Cab mount chop/relocate will be your friend here. Also, leveling kit on top of a 6" lift? Say what now?

    yes they stacked the lifts and added a 1” body lift so it sits 9” in front and 7.5 in rear so I’m looking for a way to lift the rear 2” up

    Well, the first step is to remove that additional spacer that they added on, that's just not safe. Remove that and you'll be sitting level/a little rake. Then start cutting stuff to make the tires fit.

    You would have to do a reverse shackle conversion. The Tacoma shackles are opposite of full size trucks.
