Heavy-Duty Leaf Spring Hangers & Crossbar for 2005+ Toyota Tacoma

The DRT shackle hanger kit, known in the Tacoma community as "hammer hangers," is a heavy-duty leaf spring hanger upgrade for 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma. It replaces the weak factory hangers and unlocks the full travel of your aftermarket leaf springs.

Version 2 Updates

V2 hangers and crossbars are now shipping and differ slightly from the actual images seen here. The CAD photos seen are accurate to the V2 hangers. The updated crossbar is machined from billet, and the hangers include an additional hole to better fit longer leafs such as Deaver and Allpro.

Eliminate Weak Stock Hangers

The factory hangers on 2005+ Toyota Tacomas are thin and prone to bending, deflection, and premature wear. This not only reduces ride quality but also prevents your leaf springs from performing properly.

Our DRT hangers are engineered to eliminate these issues by stiffening the mounting points, improving geometry, and allowing aftermarket leaf springs to cycle cleanly through their travel. The shackle pivot is moved back to optimize suspension performance and unlock the full potential of long-travel leaf springs.
