    Gonna take a lot of grinding, heating and hammering to get those rivets off but I’ll get them off and get those HH on.

    Don’t worry about the install. Grind heads flat til u can see outline of rivet , center punch rivet , drill pilot hole , then drill 1/2”. If u have trouble seeing outline of rivet you just smack hanger from left and right side with a hammer and it will reveal itself. Install was not hard at all. You will be fine

    I'd hate to see what you call a hard install

    Doing things in tight places when you have to hold a bolt with your fingertips and you drop it a dozen times before you can get it threaded. Now that shit sucks ass !!!!!

    Question on these - I am about to order and kind of confused. For a 2017 TRD PRO with ICON RXT Leaf Springs, what shackle do I need? 3.6 or 4.5. Also, what is the TW or Insta ID? I have not bought the ICON RXT's yet and curious if I should just get the Deaver or Dakar. Seems everyone likes those the best -

    Thoughts?

    Def 3.6. The 4.5 is more for spring under axle. And I wouldn't go dakar if money isn't an option. Deavers are the best option.

    Got my HH installed last Sunday with the help of a local member @whatstcp. Always great meeting local Members. Big shout out to him for providing his time and knowledge on getting this done. And shout out to Eric for providing quality products and customer service. 31F715DC-B8B6-45B8-B351-9156A5E24436.jpg

    I finally have a thorough video on Hammer hanger features and options. This will be great for new Tacoma owners and those who are just learning about Tacoma rear suspension:
