Stop buying parts you don't need! Understand it and why you should want it before you buy it. Make sure you understand the return/restock fee policy.
Make sure you pick the correct one. 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 side bolt. 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.
Please allow up to 36-48 hours to fulfill.

If you can can add it to the cart, it’s in stock. No washer used on bottom bolt for GX550 and LC250. Video pics with washer on bottom come from 4th Gen Tacoma.
When you lift a solid axle that has a track bar (aka panhard bar) depending on the lift height, the angle of that track bar becomes so steep, that any natural cycling of the axle will cause a feeling of being unstable. The reason for this is the track 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 track bar is parallel or as close to parallel to the ground/axle. With the track 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 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.
Shorty option: I recommend the shorty option for lc250 if you are 1.5”- 2.5” of lift height. Anything higher you want the standard height and run the top hole. If you’re unsure about if you are going to possibly raise the height later. Then get the standard and run the bottom hole. When you raise it later, then you have the extra mounting hole.
King blue option are 2/3 stage powder coat. You may experience tight mounting holes do to clear coat. Don’t worry. Get a round file and file it down a little or smash it in. I recommend round file.
