Dude he is legit. I've watched the owner of that truck on IG build his truck over the years. I was excited when I saw his progress with metalheadfab. I believe the kit is +5.5. I think that owner has super negative wheels too so just keep that in mind.
Yeah he must have some really really negative wheels. I measured my track with and I’m exactly at 80” in the front. So I have Bajakits. 255/80/17 with +35. So with their kit, if it’s +5.5, it would only be 85”. Which is still really wide for a midsize truck!

Hmmm seems kinda pricy even though it’s custom made. I know DirtKing sells there Tacoma bed-cages for around $1600.

Lol I run f150 rear shocks with 1 inch longer shakles and icon leafs. I get about 11 before I run out of brake line and emergency brake cable.That cage looks like it adds a lot of travel. I believe that setup is with Deaver springs. over axle. I’ve seen the white ranger on YouTube with a similar setup as mine before he went with the true long travel and linked rear end.
But I think 16” of rear travel would be plenty for the off-roading I would be doing. If I can get that amount with my deavers while running a bed cage, I would totally do it. I’m gonna have to start contacting people again, haha. He’s goes the spending
I remember his bed cage he asked if I wanted to buy it when he upgraded I believe he said it cycled 16 inches. I don't remember if he had deavers or icon leafs but yea that's a good number. Especially for a daily driver, using leafs is usually the route to take.That cage looks like it adds a lot of travel. I believe that setup is with Deaver springs. over axle.

I don't think it was done a year ago honestly I think it came out right after you got your bajakits.
It's a nice cage that gets the job done but I haven't seen it out in the desert. Also, it retains the shocks being inside the frame rails. I would prefer to have the shocks outside the rails especially when pulling 16 inches but I just don't know if there's any way around that unless you run really negative wheels or adapters in the rear because there isn't enough space to mount the shock to the rear housing without contacting the tire.
For me i say my dream build which I have yet to see it done on our truck is a cantilever set up. That would fit the bill for you too.I kept this area in my cage to add a tube in case I do run shocks outside the frame.
Tbh I haven't really researched cantilever suspensions. Seems like the advantage is using smaller shocks?
