What are people using back there other than stock? I have a serious need for some longer ones, but not sure if i want to screw around making sonething or if there is a decent priced product available to buy.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but

Energy...thats what you told me. I figured a thread would help get some discussion...

How much longer are they and I think you said you bolted them in?

Yea they come with a bolt built. Just need a couple of big washer and you're set. I cut them but idk how much you need to cut them with the 35s.

I bought some Timbrens. Never got around to putting them in. Maybe while my brother is here visiting this winter.

I just strapped a couple 2x4s to the top of my axle. Seems to work just fine.

That project is about as old as my snorkel.. :poke: :mrgreen:



We make these for the Tacoma's front and rear... May be able to adapt them for the TB too...

They are poly-foam, so they act as a progressive bumpstop, instead of a hard poly or rubber.
