The 2024 and 2025 Tacomas are great, but one of their most notable weaknesses is the lack of a bump stop in the front and weak shock mounting plate. This combination of elements has been shown to cause failure of the top plate with even mild bottom out events, such as deep potholes or off roading. Our reinforcement plate is specifically designed to easily bolt on to your stock suspension setup and prevent top hat failure while also providing an approximate 2" of lift, effectively leveling the truck.
The plate is precisely machined in house from a solid piece of aircraft grade aluminum, it will provide extra support to your top plate, minimizing the chances of breaking when the shock bottoms out. It will also provide approximately 2” (depending on trim) of lift which helps fit bigger tires and adds extra clearance for your off road adventures
Works on 2024 and 2025 Tacomas except air suspension, TRD pro and Trail Hunter
This setup re-uses the stock hardware, with additional hardware (included) therefore all factory torque specifications. Does NOT require spring compressor and does NOT require cutting factory studs to install. Once The Guardian in installed on the shock, mount the shock on the frame, the bottom of the shock will be misaligned, using a lever, turn the shock until the bolt hole lines up with the control arm, insert the lower shock bolt and you're done.
