About this kit
3.5-Inch Vertex Lift Kit, Red Arms, Tacoma 4WD (2005-2023), fitment-checked
Rough Country 74252RED is the red-arm build of the 3.5-inch Tacoma 4WD lift kit for 2005-2023 trucks: handed Vertex 2.5 adjustable front struts, Vertex 2.5 rear shocks, red forged upper control arms matched to 3.5 inches of lift, parabolic rear leaf springs, and a sway bar drop service kit. Minor cutting is required, and several submodels are excluded.
A 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD, this version is set apart by its red forged upper control arms, rated for the same 3.5 inches of lift as the rest of the package. Damping is Vertex 2.5 at both ends: left- and right-hand adjustable front struts, plus a rear shock pair covering a 2.5-5.5 inch range. Two parabolic rear leaf springs and a sway bar drop service kit complete the box. Expect minor cutting during the job. Trucks with a two-piece rear driveshaft should add a carrier-bearing drop bracket. A downloadable Rough Country installation guide is available.
