Toyota Tacoma U-Bolt Flip Kit for 2nd Gen & 3rd Gen Tacoma / 8.85 Inch Length U-Bolt
Introducing the DuroBumps U-bolt Flip Kit, custom-made for 2nd and 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma trucks. Made in the USA, this kit eliminates lightweight OEM U-bolts and flimsy U-bolt mounting plates. Boasting top-quality, 9/16” diameter U-bolts and a heavy-duty 3/8” steel flip-plate, it stands out as the most robust and durable choice on the market.
Factory-equipped Toyota trucks come with a less-than-ideal U-bolt configuration. With U-bolt threads under the rear axle facing the ground, under-axle clearance decreases. This limitation hampers off-road performance and raises the likelihood of getting snagged on rocks.
DuroBumps addresses this problem by directing the U-bolt threads upward. Our sturdy 9/16” steel U-bolts securely wrap the axle tube, positioning threads upward and reducing the risk of getting stuck or damaged. Additionally, the U-bolts attach the rear axle to the leaf pack using a 3/8” thick steel plate, offering extra protection.
We powder coat our flip plates Black, and include U-bolts that are clear zinc coated and powder coated black. Moreover, all Tacoma rear U-bolt flip kit options install effortlessly with our included high grade extra thick flat washers and tall nuts Gold zinc coated.

Install Instructions
Instructions:
Step 1: Following vehicle manufacturer recommendations, use a properly rated jack. Lift the rear of the truck with floor jack and support the frame rails with jack stands. Lower the truck so the weight is resting fully on the jack stands.
Be sure to use jack stands!
Step 2: Work on one side at a time. Support the axle using a floor jack. Loosen and remove the nuts on the OEM square-shaped U-bolts using a 19 mm deep socket wrench. Remove the two OEM U-bolts and OEM mounting plate.
Step 3: Use a scraper or wire brush to clean any mud/debris from the top of the leaf pack.
Step 4: Install DuroBumps flip plate on top of the leaf pack, with the leaf pack detent bolt centered with the flip plate. Install the new U-bolts with the threaded end facing upward toward the bed of the truck. Use the provided washer and tall nut to fasten the U-bolts to the flip plate. Tighten nuts until snug. The U-bolts can be tightened evenly and torqued to 93 ft. lbs.
Step 5: Repeat steps 2 – 4 on the other side.
Step 6: Reinstall wheels and lower vehicle back to the ground. Torque lug nuts to factory specifications.
NOTE: All U-bolts stretch after installation. It is very important to recheck the torque of your U-bolt nuts after driving 250, 500, and 1000 miles after initial install. Again, you need to check your U-bolts’ torque to verify that they are 93 ft. lbs. after 250, 500, and 1000 miles after initial install. All U-bolts stretch after being installed and need to be re- torqued.
