2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma Shackle Hangers

I have a 3rd gen Tacoma and I installed Rago bed stiffeners about 3yrs. ago. They are extremely well built and the powder coating looks as good now as when I had installed them (in an open bed through 2 Washington DC winters). I had upgraded my leaf springs with Deavers for more support when I carry cinder blocks, concrete bags and bags of gravel for home improvement projects and doing that made my leaf spring hangers the next weakest link. So based on how pleased I am with my Rago bed stiffeners I ordered their rear leaf spring hangers. The hangers arrived sooner than the lead time that was possible and well packaged. The old hangers (once removed) could be carried together pinched between your thumb and forefinger. When lifting the box containing the Rago hangers I was positive they sent me a free anvil as a bonus gift. These hangers are built like a tank! Beautiful welds and powder coating on all pieces. The only hiccup with the hardware kit ( great quality nuts, bolts and washers) was that the 51/2" shackle bolts were fine thread 1/2x20 and the nuts were coarse thread 1/2x13. I picked up a couple of bolts at Grainger and problem solved. I had to clean up two holes on the hanger kit during install but other than that a smooth installation. I would absolutely purchase these hangers again and will purchase other products from Rago based on my past experience with their products.

Installed these hangers a month ago. Wanted to get some real world experience with them before writing a review. They have lots of on road mileage combined with plenty of off-road. These hangers are beefy! Construction and quality is great. To sum it all up, these will immediately improve your ride quality. My truck handles completely different. It feels like a new truck! My truck feels stiff and planted going around corners, no more jitters over uneven road, and my suspension feels smoother as the hangers actually allow the leafs to do their job properly. It’s weird to say stiff and smooth in the same sentence but until you try you won’t understand. Having no more wet noodle, flexy, loose end feeling is fantastic! I do have to admit the install is not the greatest. I give it a 4/5 for difficulty. Took me around 6 hours to complete. Make sure you have the right tools and drill bits for this job! Drilling out the factory rivets had to be the hardest part. In the end I’m very happy with the results. It’s well worth the install. The benefits are immediately apparent and it’s well worth the investment!!! @TacoPandaTRD

Just had my hangers installed and am extremely pleased with the parts, quality and ride improvement. Pure beef and they fit in perfectly with my stock leaf pack + Icon AAL. I can't wait to flex them out on the trail. The truck feels more planted and stable while driving. The stock spare fits a little tightly now. I plan on going up in tire size and may try and use the under spare location. I highly recommend and the price cannot be beat.

The hangers are great quality of materials and craftsmanship we have come to enjoy from any Rago product. The only downside is that it reduces the area below the bed to store your spare tire. I'm running 33" Nitto Ridge Grapplers (LT255/80r17) and was able to fit the spare up in the OEM location with little modifications. The Rago hangers are beefy (which is a good thing while on the trail) but reduces the OEM spare tire location by 1" - 1
5". It's not the end of the world but be aware that you need to no plan for how/where you want to store your spare tire now.

Best aftermarket shackles hangers my taco rides pretty smooth, when I purchased it was backorder but it’s all good. Customer’s service were awesome. Rago Fabrication rocks!
