Game-Changing Shock Tower Relocation Setup for my Truck

Just curious if anyone else has noticed or heard of this issue. I got my TRD Off-Road on June 1st. I went to my suspension shop on 6/14 to get the Westcott pre-load collar installed. My mechanic called me back to his shop 30 mins later to show me that the passenger side CV Boot had failed and the truck was flinging grease everywhere. I took it to my closest dealer here in San Diego and they agreed the boot had failed. They ordered the part and said it would be in within 2 days. The 2nd date push moved the ETA to 6/25, the 3rd date push was to 7/03, and the 4th date push moved the ETA to 7/15. As of today 7/16, the service department told me now Toyota has told them the CV Boot Kit would arrive sometime in December of 2024. Has anyone else heard of this issue coming up?

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.
