About this kit
3.5-Inch Lift Kit with Loaded Struts, fitment-checked
Rough Country 74231 is a 3.5-inch lift kit for compatible 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma trucks in 4WD and RWD. The box pairs a loaded strut assembly with forged upper control arms rated for 3.5 inches of lift. Minor cutting is part of the job, and it does not fit trucks running 5-lug wheels, T/X Baja, or TRD Pro.
This 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma ships as three pieces: the 745 strut kit box, a loaded strut pair matched to 3.5 inches of front height, and forged upper control arms shared with the Toyota 4Runner application. Fitment covers Base through X-Runner trims listed below, but skip it if your truck wears 5-lug wheels or came from the factory with the 1-inch lift found on T/X Baja and TRD Pro models. Trucks with a two-piece rear driveshaft should also plan on a carrier-bearing drop bracket. A downloadable installation guide is available.
