About this kit
3.5-Inch Lift Kit with Vertex Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 74252 is a 3.5-inch lift kit for compatible 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD trucks, built around adjustable Vertex 2.5 front struts, Vertex 2.5 rear shocks, forged upper control arms, and parabolic rear leaf springs. Minor cutting is part of the job. It does not fit 5-lug wheel trucks, T/X Baja models, or TRD Pro models.
This 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD ships as a complete package: left and right adjustable Vertex 2.5 front struts, a pair of Vertex 2.5 rear shocks rated across a 2.5-5.5 inch range, forged upper control arms matched to 3.5 inches of lift, two parabolic rear leaf springs, and a sway bar drop service kit. Plan on minor cutting during the install. Trucks with a two-piece rear driveshaft should also run a carrier-bearing drop bracket. Confirm your submodel against the exclusions, then work from the downloadable Rough Country installation PDF.
