You won't have to cut your body mounts.

they are for rears up front not more flex

[jrock]

But by default, rears give you more flex.

Still have to cut body mounts!!  haha..  (Maybe not as much though.)

I've used them for ~ 5 years now.  Same as 5" straight shackles..  Just curved to avoid the body mounts when you put rears up front.  (spring is alittle longer than stock)

i had to cut my body mount even though i installed boomerang shackles. the toyota rear springs flex so much that a straight shackle will usually hit the body mount and make stuff bind

i run then on mine w/ the Rancho 41044's (i think that's the number  ). didn't have to cut the body mount. I like them.

i just put those on my 4runner. i think that they are really nice becuase u dont have to cut the body mount.

i had to cut my body mount. i guess my springs are just too flexy
