DRT Fabrication – Shackle Hanger Kit – Toyota Tacoma (2005-2023) DRT Fabrication

Current lead time: 2-3 weeks.

The flimsy stock hangers on 2005+ Tacomas don’t allow the leaf springs to perform like they should. Causing a shuttering rear end, pre-mature wear and tear and sometimes even bending altogether. Pairing these with aftermarket leaf springs that yield more travel will unlock the handling characteristics that you’re looking for not only with improved geometry but by stiffening the hanger to prevent deflection. Allowing the leaf springs to perform like they should. The shackle pivot is moved back allowing the leaf springs to cycle through the wheel travel cleanly with improved geometry.

Specs:

• 1/4” and 3/16 steel.
• 100% MIG welded to the highest standards.
• Durable satin black powder coat finish.
• Stainless steel logo plates.
• Grade 8 hardware.
• Improved geometry.
• Boxed design shackle using 3/16 steel.
• Zerk fittings.
• Grease-able polyurethane bushings.
• Aligns with leaf springs.
• 2” x .250 machined DOM pivot tube.

These have not been tested with SUA leaf springs and ride height may be affected.

Please note that Allpro leaf springs require an 1/8 spacer. Please email us if you have Allpro leaf springs.

For those who want even more improvements we offer a crossbar. The crossbar increases frame and hanger rigidity by attaching to the hangers and a factory crossmember on the frame. This greatly reduces the frame flex Tacomas are known for. Stiffening the frame and hangers also improves the suspensions performance and provides peace of mind on those hard landings directly to the hangers while off-roading.

Made from 3/16 steel and 1.5″ .120 tube and is tucked up high into the frame.

Provides a mounting point for a Baja designs rock light.

Powder coated satin black.

Crossbars cannot be used with a spare tire.

DIY crossbar plates: Include two plates. One plate for each each hanger and necessary hardware. No crossmember plates or tube included.
