DR.KDSS B.O.T.C.K - Bolt On TrackBar Correction kit Gen4 Tacoma (BLACK)
PN: BOTCK24TACOMA
G4 Tacoma Only !!
Measure your bolt height difference! Start with frame side. From the ground up, measure to center of the track bar bolt. Do the same for the axle size. Measure from the ground up to center of bolt head. Subtract those two numbers. If it falls with in 1.5” -2.99” . Get the shorty version or run the bottom hole on standard height. If it’s 3” or higher, get the standard height and run the top hole!
The new gen4 Tacoma utilizes a 5 link rear suspension. Upper and lower Links and a cross link know as the Pan Hard bar aka trac bar !!
When you lift a solid axle that has a track bar (aka panhard bar )depending on the lift height, the angle of that trac bar becomes so steep, that any natural cycling of the axle will cause a feeling of being unstable. The reason for this is the trac bar being so angled, it forces the axle to swing left and right under the vehicle vs the axle cycling up and down.
To remedy this issue, you want to raise ( or lower frame side ) the pivot point on the axle so that the trac bar is parallel or as close to parallel to the ground / axle. With the trac bar in this configuration , the natural cycling of up and down is returned ( for the most part , once you start to add a lot more travel ie long travel , things start to swing out again. Regardless , this will still be beneficial to having vs not having ).
This bolt on trac bar correction kit is designed with strength in mind. The way it is designed, wrapped around , thick wing nut inside the oem bracket , the load is evenly distributed along the whole oem mount and not just the top where the welds are at. On top of that you can easily toss in Some small spot welds if you are that guy that just needs it. This thing is easily installed and or removed for whatever reason. Just being bolted on and torqued down properly, it is stronger then any option on the market ( if you are a competitor of this product , let’s do a cad analysis and see which is stronger I challenge anyone ) !
This product is really only recommended for lifts of 1.5”-3”+ of rear lift. In some cases this bracket can contact the crossmember. If it does, rest assure that you won’t break the oem mount or this brackets. I can’t say that for the weld on option in the market as it will transfer the load through oem mount and potentially rip off!!
