About this kit

4.5-Inch Lift N3 Loaded Strut Pair, fitment-checked

Rough Country 501166_A is a pair of N3 loaded struts rated for 4.5 inches of lift, listed for 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD from SR through TRD Pro. The struts ship with the coil already assembled and are meant to replace strut spacers on a truck already carrying 4 inches of lift. They cannot be run together with a strut spacer, and they do not fit 5-lug wheel models, T/X Baja, or XSP-X.

This 4.5-inch lift N3 loaded strut pair for the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD covers SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, Trail, Trail Special Edition, and Limited applications shown in the fitment section. Because the coil comes pre-loaded on each strut, the job is a bolt-on swap, with an estimated 2-3 hours of shop time. Confirm your truck already has 4 inches of lift and that it is not a 5-lug, T/X Baja, or XSP-X model before ordering, then work from the downloadable Rough Country installation PDF. Nitrogen-charged with velocity-sensitive valving and a silver powder coat finish.
