If you're looking to give your first-gen Toyota Tacoma a serious boost, Rough Country's 2.5-inch Suspension Lift is where it's at. This lift kit not only raises your ride height but also transforms that factory nose-down stance into something much more aggressive. Trust me, you’ll appreciate the look once it’s on your Tacoma.

What really sets this kit apart is its innovative design. The 2.5-inch bolt-on kit comes equipped with M1 monotube struts, which means you’re getting a smooth ride whether you’re hitting the trails or just cruising around town. Plus, it includes M1 monotube shocks and lift shackles that ensure a nice lift from front to back. Once you’ve got this installed, you’ll have enough clearance for 31-inch tires, giving your truck a balanced, leveled appearance that just feels right.

Now, let’s talk installation. This kit is designed for a straightforward, 100% bolt-on process. You’re looking at about 3-4 hours to get everything set up, which isn’t too bad if you’ve got a weekend to spare. A little elbow grease goes a long way here, and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can transform your ride.

And if you’re worried about long-term durability, Rough Country has your back with a limited lifetime replacement warranty. This covers any manufacturer defects, so you can hit the trails with confidence, knowing your investment is protected against structural and workmanship issues.

Features:
  • Unlike those stiff add-a-leaf kits, this one keeps your ride smooth.
  • Installation is a breeze with the easy bolt-on design.
  • Front struts lift 2.5 inches—no need for strut spacers.
  • These struts are engineered specifically for lifted applications, so they’re built to last.
  • Enjoy a 3-year limited warranty on the front struts.
  • M1 Monotube shock absorbers are application-valved for the best performance on and off the road.
  • Get increased ground clearance that makes a real difference.
  • This kit levels the front with the rear, giving your Tacoma that clean look.
  • The lifted front struts help maintain that factory-like smooth ride.
  • Precision laser-cut rear shackles ensure you keep that factory ride quality.
