About this kit

3.5-Inch Lift Kit with M1 Struts, fitment-checked

Rough Country 74240 is a 3.5-inch lift kit for compatible 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma trucks, built around an M1 loaded strut pair, an M1 monotube shock pair, and forged upper control arms. Minor cutting is part of the job. It does not fit trucks with 5 lug wheels, T/X Baja models, or TRD Pro models, both of which already carry a 1-inch factory lift.

This 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma levels the front with the rear and adds clearance for larger tires. The box holds an M1 loaded strut pair matched to the 3.5-inch height, an M1 monotube shock pair for the rear, and forged upper control arms to keep front geometry in range at that lift. Plan on minor cutting during the install, and check the exclusion list first — 5 lug wheels, T/X Baja, and TRD Pro trucks are out. On a two-piece rear driveshaft, Rough Country advises adding a carrier-bearing drop bracket. A downloadable installation guide is available.
