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

Built for Tacoma owners who want more ground clearance and aggressive stance without compromise, the Rough Country 3.5-inch Vertex Lift Kit raises your truck for serious off-road capability while preserving factory ride quality and geometry. The forged aluminum upper control arms maintain optimal ball-joint angles after lifting, reducing stress on suspension components and keeping alignment adjustments straightforward.
