About this kit
3.5-Inch Lift Kit with Vertex Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 74250RED is a 3.5-inch lift kit for compatible 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma trucks in 4WD and RWD. The box carries left and right adjustable Vertex 2.5 front struts, a pair of Vertex 2.5 rear shocks, red forged upper control arms, and a sway bar drop service kit. Minor cutting is part of the install, and it will not work on 5-lug wheel models, T/X Baja, or TRD Pro trucks.
This 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma covers listed 4WD and RWD trims from Base and SR through TRD Off-Road, TRD Sport, Trail, and X-Runner. Check the exclusions first: trucks with 5-lug wheels are out, and both the T/X Baja and TRD Pro are ruled out by their factory 1-inch lift. Trucks running a two-piece rear driveshaft should also plan on a carrier-bearing drop bracket, sourced separately. Expect minor cutting during the job, and pull the downloadable Rough Country installation guide before you start.
