Tacoma 2.5" x 12-14" Shock Relocation 2005-2023 2nd 3rd gen Archive Garage

You always need to know the tire size for spacer questions

-12 with 1.25" spacer should clear a 285 with smoothies

 

I understand that. Its going to get strapped in regardless of my choice of shock. But if i did get a 2.5x12, wouldn't my down travel numbers be limited by my shock? Or is the small amount of travel more I would be able to use out of a short body 2.5 x 14 not even worth it with my leaf pack.

 

My bad, I have 295/70r17s but looking at 35x12.5r17s to match the rear LT?

 

IDK, maybe 2" with your -12 offset wheels and 12.5 wides

 

With a light duty Leaf pack (usually more flexible), I would say go for the 14".
If you have anymore setup questions, please email us directly

 

Need tire size as well to properly determine.

 

That's what I have and I clear 12s at full articulation

 

As promised, here's the first set of pics after the installation of AG shock relocation tower, shackle hangers and cross tube. I am running 2.5x12 triple bypass piggyback, Deaver Stage 3 leaf springs and hydro bumps. The shock tower had to be modified a bit to fit the piggyback. I am running SCS F5 -38 wheels wrapped on 35s with 2inch spacers (to match +2 TC long travel kit in the front) and no rubbing at full flex, at least not with a fork lift. All the work done at Shaffer's Offroad in Union City, CA.

 

Just upgraded my suspension and pretty much did the whole AG catalog but now I’ll be adding a rear bumper and from the looks of my leaf springs looking flat…might have to go with heavier leaf springs. Would the heavy duty be enough to support a rear bumper with swing out and tire mount with a 35tire or go up to extreme duty? I don’t plan on getting a sleep camper top.

 

Sounds like you have other brand springs currently, couldn't find a leaf spring order from you.
Our HDs can easily support 1,250 lbs added to rear axle weight.

Keep in mind guys that a swing out bumper is an overhung load, with CoG about 4 feet behind rear axle, that mod alone can total 400-500lbs that the leaf springs need to support.
(An overhung load behind rear axle makes front axle lighter, and transfers weight from the front to the rear axle.)

 

i do have a different brand leaf springs…at the time I didn’t think the truck would snowball as much as it has. Figured since I have most of my rear end AG. Best thing to do now is go with the leaf springs from you guys. I am running a front C4 bumper and the truck is a prerunner, lighter front axel isn’t an issue.
