DR KDSS Trackbar Correction Kit (B.O.T.C.K.) – 4th Gen Tacoma
When you lift a 2024+ 4th Gen Tacoma, one of the first issues that shows up is rear-end wander and bump steer. The stock panhard bar angle gets thrown off, which makes the axle shift side to side instead of cycling straight. It’s subtle at first, but the higher you go, the more unstable and unpredictable the truck feels.
The DR KDSS Bolt-On Trackbar Correction Kit (B.O.T.C.K.) is designed to fix that. By raising the axle-side pivot and re-leveling the panhard bar, this kit restores proper geometry, making your Tacoma track straight and handle the way it should. For anyone investing in a lift, this is the piece that makes sure the suspension upgrade actually works the way you expect.
Why You Would Want It
Most relocation brackets included with lift kits rely on a single bolt and minimal support. That design flexes under load, shifts over time, and creates a potential failure point. The B.O.T.C.K. eliminates that weakness with a wrap-around, double-shear design that secures into the OEM mount from multiple sides. Instead of flexing, it stays locked in and spreads the load evenly.
That means more stability, more confidence on the road and trail, and a setup you can trust long term. It’s not just about how the truck feels today—it’s an investment in keeping your suspension performing correctly for years to come.
Key Features
- Geometry Correction: Brings the panhard bar back closer to level, eliminating side-to-side axle shift.
- Full Coverage Bracket: Wrap-around, double-shear design for maximum strength.
- Stronger Retention: Secured by three Grade 8 bolts plus OEM hardware, torqued to 120 ft-lbs.
- Load Spreading: Includes a custom washer plate to distribute forces across the OEM mount.
- Options: Shorty (1.5–3” lift) or Standard (3”+ lift, dual mounting holes). Available in Black, Red, or King “like” Blue.
- Quick Install: Fully bolt-on, installs in around 15 minutes with basic tools.
Why Choose This Over Kit Brackets?
The B.O.T.C.K. isn’t just another bracket. The included brackets from most lift kits are a stopgap thin steel, single bolt, and prone to shifting. The DR KDSS kit is engineered as a permanent fix. It’s designed to handle real-world abuse while keeping your truck predictable and safe.
If you’ve already spent money on a rear lift, this is the part that protects that investment. Without it, the geometry is off, the axle wanders, and the driving experience suffers. With it, your suspension cycles the way Toyota intended, even with a lift.
Why we Recommend it
The DR KDSS B.O.T.C.K. is the upgrade we recommend to every 4th Gen Tacoma owner running a lift. It gives you back the handling, stability, and confidence you lose when the panhard bar angle goes off. It’s a quick install, a one-time purchase, and it pays for itself every time you get behind the wheel.
