Hammer hangers vs shackle flip kit

So I am wanting to have as much droop as I can without doing a Chevy 63” spring conversion... right now I have ome Dakar’s and I’m wanting to install a 12” shock relocation and shackle flip kit to replace the rear leaf spring hanger. So my question is: which would be more beneficial and reliable? Hammer hangers or a shackle flip kit? Do the hammer hangers change geometry of the oem rear leaf shackle to provide more droop? I’ve seen posts with them before and the top of the rear tire is dropped below the rocker panel. That’s what I’m trying to achieve.

 

Im curious of this myself.

 

Hammer Hangers are an OEM/Stock Replacement that is simply way beefier than stock. Pretty sure nothing changes with the geometry.

Shackle flip changes the geometry a little bit but not much if done right. Archive's Shackle Flip gives you like 4 different mounting positions for different setups.
I'm running extended shackles and my particular setup gives 1" of lift and ~2" more droop with Bilstein 5125 shocks/Extended Brake Lines. That being said I'm 5-lug SUA so results may vary.

Here's the Hammer Hanger thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...rage-2005-2023-tacoma-shackle-hangers.519625/
It's long but has a lot of good info for different setups

Bit shorter thread but still lots of good info on different setups.

Highly recommend going through those and that'll help decide which is better for you. From what I understand, most 6-lug Tacos go with the Hammer Hangers.

 

Thanks a bunch for the info and resources, I appreciate it!
