Installing 2016-2021 Toyota Tacoma 3.5-inch Suspension Lift Kit with Vertex

Gaston installs a Rough Country 3.5 lift kit with Vertex Coilover on the 2021 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 and makes it look so easy - because it is!

I'm doing this tonight, sleeping on the shop floor reminds me of being 20... and having friends, and access to a hoist.

Just had this 3.5” lift installed on my 2016 Tacoma Sport, along with 285/70/R17 tires. However, now anytime I make a sharp left or right turn and accelerate during the turn, my Slip Indicator light/VSC turns on and sometimes engages the ABS. Took it to the Toyota dealership to fix the problem. They calibrated the steering angle sensor and the yaw sensor. It seemed to fix the issue for a day or 2. But now it’s doing it again. Any advice/suggestions on how I can fix this?

My shop has had this kit ordered since the end of September. Still waiting on the damn thing to ship one of these days. Hopefully soon!

Just a question, shouldn't you wait to torque everything down until the weight of the truck is on the ground?

Whats the spring rate of the coilovers? I have bumper 165lbs and winch about another 55lbs.

Thank you so much for making this video definitely was a visual aid when installing the 3.5 kit... But for future reference it would be nice to have torque specs... Final note installing the front shocks the way you stated in the video I wound up scratching the s*** out of my shock absorber..😡🤬😡 I found it best to install it top first then pry the bottom in... I'VE WATCHED THIS VIDEO ABOUT 20 TO 30 TIMES AND DOING SO HELP ME COME UP WITH A GAME PLAN FOR A ONE-MAN INSTALL... Anyway thanks again for the VIDEO VERY HELPFUL...☺️

I have a question. Yesterday I ordered my 3-inch elevator front shock absorbers. I need to modify some of my suspension as you have put spacers on the differential arms or I don't need to modify anything, just install the new suspension?

Brake lines are tight before offroading. Need extensions on the lines

I was wondering if you have any suggestions. I have a 2010 toyota tacoma, i plan on adding a winch bumper and 255 80 r17. I dont need a fancy off road kit, figure i need about 3" to 4" lift to account for the drop from the bumper and to clear the tires. Thank you for any recommendations and the content.

One Detail to keep in mind on a 2nd Gen Install you will need a sway bar relocation kit for the stock sway bar. It will hit the bottom of the strut once the vehicle squats. Only with the Vertex adjustable Strut.

Did you have any issues with the rear passenger shock aligning in the top bushing hole? My rear shock is too wide at the top to fit properly in the rear passenger side. It doesn’t line up in the center of the hole, the shock body hits the frame. The rear driver side fit perfectly. And also, I didn’t get any reservoir bracket hardware for either rear shock in my kit.

Question? Will this kit work on 2022 taco? Nicely done lift. Have a fantastic day

[edgarpadron]

Saw this kit
Wondering how the ride is given the budget friendly price

[no_lft_shft]

What is a good wheel size to go with for a currently stock Tacoma ride height but I have plans on going with this lift? 17?

[circularpizzabox]

Are those leaf springs for your 3” lift, and can you buy them separately?

I am really hoping this exact kit will make its way to the 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x!

[igorotabatan]

Is there a similar kit for a 3rd gen 4Runner? I am currently using a Rough Country 3" lift but with stock UCA'S.

[igorz]
