Game-Changing Shock Tower Relocation Setup for my Truck

What's up 4GTaco fam!! Check out this recent Trailhunter we wrapped up at the shop. John brought his 2025 Trailhunter in for a full 74Weld portal axle setup and supporting mods to make 37s fit and clear. The truck now runs 74Weld portals, 74Weld billet rear links, an ADD winch bumper, Warn VR Evo 10 S, Rigid SR lighting, hybrid power relocation, and Method 703s wrapped in 37" Toyo RT Pros. The goal was simple. Keep the hybrid system happy, keep the geometry correct with portals, and build a truck that actually works off-road without losing daily performance. Portal service was handled at the 500 mile mark, and the truck left with proper alignment and all clearances dialed in. This setup gives the Trailhunter more ground clearance, stronger axle geometry, better approach angle, and a clean front recovery system. If you’re looking at portals, 37s, hybrid routing, or you just want to know which parts actually work together on the new 4th Gen Tacoma, feel free to reach out. Mountain Yotas is always around for build questions, part recommendations, and helping you plan your setup the right way the first time.

So I’ve been loving the shock tower relocation setup I got from a dealer I know, and it’s been a game-changer for my truck. It allows for a 13” stroke shock, giving me some serious travel. I’ve been using ADS Racing Shocks for years back with my older generation Tacoma, and they’ve been solid.

The dealer also hooked me up with some shackle hangers and a crossbar, which have really boosted the truck’s performance. I’m guessing some of you might be running the mid-travel Duro bumps like I was—great setup, though it can limit up-travel a bit with this system.

If you want more up-travel, you could switch to shorter Duro bumps to maximize the extra shock travel. Your leaf springs should be fine, but there are pros and cons to different leaf packs depending on your setup.

If anyone’s interested, I can connect you with the dealer who set mine up. He’s awesome and knows his stuff too well.
