[Digital]

I read over the thread but am unable to find where you guys are getting the bruiser hangers and shackles from? I see RPP has the hangers only?

The last set of shackles I went on tamiya club got the part number from manual and ordered them direct from Tamiya

Hey 1BadJeep,

Would you still consider this shackle / hanger mod beneficial to a suspension that already has the Chino or O-Ring mod? Thanks

The back of the trucks I dont use the Bruiser suspension anymore, I now use the the BowHouseRC 3d printed hanger which has the corrected geometry

I dont use the O ring mod, people are always so concerned about "flex" but thats overated and anyone who wheels real toyotas knows they dont flex out like crazy because of the high steer set ups and frame. I also tend to use U bolts on my builds because I care more about looks then performance.

The front I still use the Bruiser hanger because most real 1:1 Toyotas have the hanger in front and shackle in rear

Right on, thanks for the reply.

So is the rear stock other than the BowHouse part in which I do have?
Can this all be done front and rear with the stock leafs, and without the U-bolt kit?

Not sure what you mean?



On my trailfinders now a days, I use the Bowhouse rear shackle relocater and on the front i have been using the A&M garage shackle flip kit.



You can use them without the U bolt kit but I much prefer to run the bolt kit

I've been constantly trying to send people from the FB pages here. I can't believe how lazy some are to do a little research on their own. On some of the TF2 pages the same questions are asked weekly, I just post a link to RCC. The platform is like 10 years old, more than likely every problem has been covered here. Especially the #1 question asked about these truck "How do I get more flex"

I try not to necropost, but I drive an 89 RS Camaro; It was my first car bought back in 08 and I've been trying to find a good, detailed body to replicate it for our local 3rd gen group.

Ok, it's not for sale, I'll leave it at that. BUT, would you mind sharing some info on it via PM?

And I've been utilizing the search function, it's been super useful in finding info I'm looking for on the TF2.

Also, I get told that when people ask the same about my 1:1 Camaro; I don't want to sell it that's why!

Appreciate the reply!
