About this kit
3-Inch Lift Kit with Vertex Struts, fitment-checked
Rough Country 74557 is a 3-inch lift kit for 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD trucks, built around left and right Vertex 2.5 adjustable front struts and a V2 monotube rear shock pair. Minor cutting is required. It does not fit 5-lug wheel models, T/X Baja, or TRD Pro trucks, which already carry a 1-inch factory lift.
This 3-inch lift kit for the 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD ships as a strut kit box with Vertex 2.5 adjustable front struts (left and right), a V2 monotube shock pair for the rear, and a sway bar drop service kit. The front is raised to sit level with the rear, and the added height clears tires up to 33 inches. Plan on minor cutting during an otherwise bolt-on job, with an estimated 2-4 hours of work. On trucks with a two-piece rear driveshaft, a carrier-bearing drop bracket is advised.
