For those of you running 62" deavers with a camburg ot TC longtravel kit...are you running 9" or 12" shackles? Through or above frame? And how does your truck sit? Level, ass high or ass low? Trying to figure out how the truck will sit if I run them with my donahoes. I figure if I can get the truck to sit level or slightly ass high with donahoes it'll sit a little ass low with the LT and thats fine with me.

Yeah I would like to know how much lift you would get depending on what arch (10.5 12.5 etc) you use with 9" shackles above the frame as well.

according to deaver, the 10.5" arch gives 1" lift over a stock tacoma...but I'm not sure which shackle configuration that is with. on the website they give the approximate lifts for each arch. I think it's 1", 3" and 5" but not positive. I think the different arches are mainly for different weights though depending on how big your fuel cell is, how many spares youre carrying, etc.; more arch for more weight

i have the f67 pack with a 9" shackle mounted on the bottom of my frame and my trucks pretty level. infact, sometimes it seems like the rear is a little higher and then sometimes it seems like its a little lower lol. i have a lot of weight back thier though. personally, unless youre planning on not having any spares, the stock gas tank, and a basic shock hoop setup, i would recommend the f67 over the f55. even if youre ass high, it'll perform better. you want a little more up travel than down travel. if you dont have enough up travel you'll be bottoming out a lot more.

Hmm...if I ran a 9" shackle over the frame it might sit close to being level with the donaoes. How much travel are you pulling?
