    Do you prefer the shackles over the blocks?

    The honestly ride the same as the block. I've tried to pick out little differences. You can feel a little more travel over big bumps is about it right now. Only had them on two weeks thus far.

    Little negative arch but as you know Toyota leaf springs are almost flat to start.

    I think I can consider my truck mid travel!!

    True, but you having a close relationship with them I figured you might have an idea. Just curious if they happened to be the same as the CB shackles.

    Not close enough to know secrets. CB is a different vendor.

    Thus far no issues. They appear to be well made and will hold up. China lights i assume though

    For those that are interested I take note in my phone of miles, mpg and gallons for most fill-ups.
    Here is 2 years and 3 months worth of data in a summary:



    Based on all of the data and notes I took you can conclude:
    • I get 14+ mpg on the highway (most my travel is city thus the low average)
    • I wait till the tank is almost empty before filling up.
    • The truck display is surprising accurate (I do have the hypertech speedo calibrator)

    I'm liking those shackles a lot. It looks like you have a couple of mounting options for ride height. Did they come with all the hardware/bushings?

    1/2", 1" and 1.5" holes are in the shackles. Unfortunately the 1/2" does not work because of the mount for the spare tire. Don't worry. Wasn't a mistake. The 3 holes are for the 1st Gen Tacoma.
    The 1" and 1.5" settings provide 1" lift and 1.5" lift. This is not the added shackle length, it is lift it provides.
    Toytec is offering the lower shackle bushings at a separate cost. Think its only $15.99.

    Yeah, I just checked Toytec's site. I didn't see the shackles last time looked. They're on sale now too.Hmmmm..... I could use another 1" in the rear. (maybe I should re-word that??)

    I'm going to give Dylan a call today to see if I can can pick up the shackles/bushings tomorrow after work. If they are in stock. (Wonder if I can get a 5 % T.com discount??)
