3.5 Inch Lift Kit | Red Uca | Vertex/v2 | Toyota Tacoma 2wd/4wd (2005-2023)

Built for Tacoma owners who want aggressive ground clearance and an athletic stance without sacrificing ride quality, this 3.5-inch lift kit combines bolt-on simplicity with factory-geometry suspension design. The red forged upper control arms maintain optimal ball-joint angles after lifting, reducing wear and keeping alignment adjustments straightforward — while the parabolic rear leaf springs fight axle wrap and restore durability to tired OEM springs. Supports 33"–35" tire packages.

What's included

• Vertex 2.5 adjustable front struts (left and right) — lightweight, tunable architecture for ride-quality customization across on-road and off-road duty.
• Red forged upper control arms — aluminum construction with durable rubber bushings; caster-corrected geometry promotes factory-like suspension behavior and simplified alignment.
• V2 monotube shock pair — rear dampers tuned for stability and response on rough terrain.
• 3.5-inch parabolic rear leaf springs (pair) — engineered to minimize axle wrap, restore lost load capacity, and provide long-term durability as a factory replacement.
• Sway-bar drop service kit — reconfigures anti-roll geometry to maintain factory suspension geometry after lifting.
• Installation hardware and fasteners — all bolts, brackets, and connection points needed for a complete bolt-on assembly.

Important notes

• Requires minor cutting — professional installation recommended to ensure clean, safe modification.
• Does not fit 5-lug wheel applications.
• Not compatible with factory-lifted models — excludes T/X Baja (1-inch factory lift) and TRD Pro (1-inch factory lift).
• A carrier-bearing drop bracket is advised for trucks equipped with a two-piece rear driveshaft — prevents bind and ensures proper driveline angles.
