i was also thinking about getting one. I know many people on this board have them. On their site it doesn't say about an application for the newer tacomas. I know they probably still fit though (don't know year of your truck). Are you doing a 3" suspension lift? So BUMP for a member with knowledge to chime in.

I don't have the Downey's but I have the greasable Daystar's (1.5" lift) from Wheeler's and like them so far...

i have the downey's. I first had them with stock trd springs and now with deavers. When i put them on with the trd springs, the allowed alot more flex. Ride was the same. With the deavers, the ride is much better along with more flex, but most of that is from the deavers.

i have a 99, downey makes the rubicon and the heavyduty shackle both fitting any year tacoma


no not the 3in lift, i want the stock length 5100 with the 3/4-1 1/4in lift from the shackle nothing major for hight

with the longer shackles you'll need longer shocks, stock length wont work. i have the downey HD 1.5" lift shackles with stock springs and they flex very well...if you click the link in my sig there might be a few flex shots but i'm not positive

they work for me. I should have gotten the greasable bolts with them, however.
