Spacer and Leveling Kits for the 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma

The factory setup on the third generation Tacoma has a front end that sits lower than the rear. This is known as the factory rake, and it can limit ground clearance and make the truck look nose-low. A front top plate spacer kit is the most straightforward way to fix this. 

Spacers mount between the strut and the strut tower, adding between half an inch and three quarters of an inch of front lift without replacing any major suspension components. These kits work well for drivers who want a cleaner stance and room for a slightly larger tire without a full suspension overhaul.

Complete Lift Kits That Upgrade the Entire System

The OME BP51 kit delivers 2.5 inches of lift using bypass shock technology tuned for trucks carrying extra weight from armor, rooftop tents, or overlanding gear. ReadyLIFT and Bulletproof Suspension kits are also available, ranging from a simple 2 inch rear block kit up to a 10 to 12 inch complete system for 4WD Tacomas. 

The ReadyLIFT rear block kit includes e-coated u-bolts for added corrosion resistance, making it a solid choice for trucks driven in wet or harsh conditions. For the most aggressive builds, the Bulletproof system is one of the tallest complete lift options available for this platform.

Long Travel 3rd Gen Tacoma Lift Kits for Maximum Wheel Travel

The All-Pro Off-Road long travel kit delivers up to 12 inches of wheel travel for serious off-road builds. This setup requires a few additional components to install correctly:

  • Extended brake lines are required to accommodate the increased suspension travel
  • Upgraded upper control arms must be installed to maintain proper geometry
  • A professional alignment is strongly recommended after the install is complete

This is the most involved install in our lineup, but it delivers a level of suspension performance that no other kit can match. If you are building a truck meant to tackle rocks or high speed dirt roads, long travel is the direction to go.

What to Know Before Installing a 3rd Gen Tacoma Lift Kit

Choosing the right lift is only part of the process. Getting the most out of your install means understanding a few important details specific to this platform:

  • Most lifts above 2 inches benefit from upgraded upper control arms to restore proper caster and prevent binding at full suspension travel
  • Larger tires such as 285/70R17 fit well under a 2.5 to 3 inch lift with little to no trimming required
  • Heavier builds with armor, a flatbed, or a camper shell should be matched to a kit with a higher spring rate to maintain ride quality
