About this part

N3 Loaded Struts, fitment-checked

Rough Country 501126 is a pair of N3 loaded struts, pre-assembled with coils, for 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma 4WD and RWD models that already carry 2.5 inches of lift. They take the place of existing strut spacers and cannot be stacked with one. Models running 5 lug wheels are not covered.

These N3 loaded struts fit 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma 4WD and RWD models — Base, DLX, SR5, Pre Runner, S-Runner, and Limited — that are already lifted 2.5 inches. They are a replacement for the strut spacers on a previously lifted truck, so do not run them alongside a spacer, and check your wheels first because 5 lug applications are excluded. Each strut uses a 1 3/8in bore, nitrogen charge, and velocity sensitive valving tuned to the application. Bolt-on work runs about 2-3 hours, and a downloadable Rough Country installation guide is available.
