Common Symptoms of Stock Suspension Limitations

Bottoming out on moderate off-road terrain
Factory rake appearance with front lower than rear
Inadequate ground clearance for rock crawling

Why Upgrade Your Suspension System

Factory suspension systems are designed for on-road comfort and fuel economy, not aggressive off-road performance. This 3.5" lift kit transforms your Tacoma's capabilities by providing essential ground clearance for larger obstacles, room for aggressive tire combinations up to 32x10.50, and a level stance that eliminates the factory rake. The nitrogen-charged N3 shocks deliver superior damping control both on highways and rough terrain, while the forged aluminum upper control arms (74232c) maintain proper ball joint geometry for improved handling and reduced wear.
