Fits:
Gen 4 Toyota Tacoma (5-link rear suspension)
What It Does
-
Fixes that sketchy, side-to-side axle swing after a lift.
-
Brings your track bar (panhard bar) back to a more natural, level position.
-
Keeps your rig tracking straight, planted, and predictable on-road and off.
Bolt-on design — no welding, no guesswork. - All brackets have the potential to contact frame under suspension cycle this can be addressed with longer bump stops or bump stop drop . Or get the shorty !
Why It Matters
- When you lift your rig, the track bar angle gets steep. That forces the axle to swing left/right instead of moving up/down — making the rear feel unstable.
- The B.O.T.C.K. raises the pivot point to flatten that bar and bring your handling back to normal. Simple fix, huge difference.
Shorty vs. Regular – Pick the Right One
How to Pick the Correct B.O.T.C.K. Version
-
Park on level ground.
-
Measure from the ground to the center of the frame-side track-bar bolt.
-
Measure from the ground to the center of the axle-side track-bar bolt.
-
Subtract the two measurements to find your bolt-height difference:
-
1.5"–2.99" → Shorty Version (or use the bottom hole on the Standard bracket)
-
3" or higher → Standard Version (use the top hole)
Planning to lift higher later? Go with the Standard Version — it gives you extra mounting options as your suspension height changes.
