Just installed this. Took me 9 hours with carefully following the video, researching torque specs, food and water breaks and a trip to the parts store for a tie rod puller AND set up and clean up. I also installed the OME driveshaft bearing spacer. No vibration at any speed. Great budget or entry level lift. Cleared 33's no rubbing on flat ground.
Great video, but failed to mentioned that truck in the video is a 4wd, and the skid plate is not required to be removed and spacers installed for a 2wd model.
You guys do put together a great video instruction, but you didn't note you'd need a second right hand upon rear shock installation. Lol (39:45 "we're just gonna push our bolt through")
You make it look so easy, great info, but unfortunately I don’t have the time and tools to do it, I have 2017 Tacoma that will love to install this lift kit, I’m Southern California..
I have a 08 prerunner and I would very much like to fit 17 inch wheels with 10×31 inch tires. My question is will a 2inch leveling kit work or do I need to install a full suspension lift kit?. One of tour previous videos got me confused big time!
You could potentially make contact at full droop. With 3"+ I would recommend that you upgrade the upper control arms to flatten out the suspension angles for the best drivability! Thanks for watching. :)
Hi I did the 3/2 spacer and 285/70/17 tires love the look. Had a shop do it. But it has a little shiming or wobble in staining wheel around 46 to 60. But if I apply little presser on steering wheel it’s ok. I told the shop he said he has no idea what could cause that other than big tires? The alignment is good I think it’s balance friend said he read something about the Uca in a 2020 Tacoma need replacing and needle bushing in drive shaft. Getting stressed out. I tried lowering tire pressure from 35 to 30 no difference any suggestions?
Pop it in neutral at speed and make sure it's in the wheels vs something elsewhere. If it still shimmys it's definitely something rotating causing your problem. Could try a bubble balancer and weights on the rear of the rims to see if it helps and rotate hubs by hand to see if anything seems sketchy.
I bought an old 2006 Tacoma Double Cab short bed 4.0L that has been lifted 3" but the suspension on the front and rear are very stiff. What could have been the problem? Thanks.
Will this ride as smooth as a leveling kit? I’m looking to instal an ARB bumper on my 08 Taco, I would like an overall lift thats not too much but I would like it to ride smooth. I’m between this kit and a basic leveling kit.
Most kits with control arms included are true suspension lifts. I'm sure you've probably learned that by now. (Not to sound arrogant. I'm just learning myself)
The front is going to be slightly higher than the rear, but that will work out perfect if you ever plan to install an aftermarket bumper or bull bar. -Zach
If you're going with a little more narrow of a 33 like a 255/85R16 or 265/75R16, you should be alright. But if you go with anything wider they may be needed. New upper control arms would be a nice addition to this kit anyway though, as it would help correct your trucks suspension geometry after lifting. -Zach
Hello, so I had this lift kit installed on my 2016 Tacoma TRD about 7 months ago. Everything seemed to be fine until 3 weeks ago when I started to hear a humming sound from the front end. It was a faint sound almost like a revving sound every 2 seconds. I could even feel it through the gas pedal & steering wheel. Could this be the needle bearing in the CV axle causing this sound? I brought the truck to a local mechanic who could not determine the exact cause other than to tell me the front end is not in aligned properly due to the lift. Any thoughts on how to remedy this issue?
Hello there I have The same lift kit 3”front and 2”rear do I have to replace the shock or keep it the same as it came on the stuck And I wana put 295 70 R 17 nitto grappler is it gona work for this kit any idea
Thanks for watching, AJ! We don't carry parts for the first gen Tacomas right now so I can't give you any links. But I would highly recommend looking into a set of new shocks and struts from Bilstein that give you a little but of lift. They're amazing quality and I see nothing but great feedback! -Zach
instructions from Rough Country dont address the brake lines... I found it to be absolutely necessary to free them up in order to get enough play to install my new strut.
@@TOizo Not to bad till you go over a bump, feels a little stiff but what do you expect you only adding a block lol i highly recommend them for the price you pay.
You'll notice the ride stiffen up a bit and the center of gravity of your truck being higher, but it won't ride rough by any means. Thanks for watching! -Zach
Hi Joe, If I have my 2016 Toyota, Tacoma off-road Sport truck installed with a set of your Supreme Suspension lift kit with 3-inch front, 2 inches for rears. What is your recommendation Wheel with a tire to put in without a problem robbing the edge my finder? Please reply before I installed your Supreme Suspension lift kit.
JT, hes been quit busy installing other kits sorry he didnt get back to you 5 months ago maybe in 2022 some time he will answer your question so hold tight bro..
Just did this kit but with the lifted struts not spacers. After done going down road and I get this harmonic vibration kinda like rubbing noise. Goes away at higher speeds and coming to stop. Any ideas what it could be??
@Cymett yep, east coast gear supply sells a clam shell bearing (needle bearing)that is installed on the driver side (drawing a blank on the proper name lol) cv arm. Toyota tolerance in .030 this is what causes the vibration and noise. East coasts is .015 and it totally takes it all away. East coast has a video on youtube explaining it all. 80 bucks for the part and tools to take the bearing out. And couple good videos on here showing how its all done. Took me about an hour and rides perfect now.
Shoulda just removed the 2 bolts on the lower balljoint. No need to remove the rods and sensors. Remove strut from below, add spacer, bolt and install back with jack. Tighten bolts and JUALA🤣🤔🤣🤔😂
I got a mechanic friend. I keep telling him rough lift are bad and soacer are bad but he said its fine. Its not made for hardcore off roading but for everything else is prefectly fine. I dont want to argue with a 20 year experince mechanic. If he said it was fine then ill go with that.
My 3" lift just arrived today and the struts said "Made In China" I was thinking this was a USA product, is there any answer for me about that? Please let me know if is a cheap replica or a real RC 🙏
Rough Country itself is based in the United States and their parts are engineered and tested here in the states. I'm sure some of their parts are manufactured overseas and you have nothing to worry about. 😁 If you're concerned, I would reach out to RC directly. -Zach

Just did a 3” rough country lift Taco looks amazing also put 285/75/16
How much did it cost you by the end?
Great video, but failed to mentioned that truck in the video is a 4wd, and the skid plate is not required to be removed and spacers installed for a 2wd model.
Will this setup fit my 2006 Toyota Tacoma; 4 cylinder, 4x2, 5 lug, access cab?
@@EscapeTheMatrix6977no it’s only for 6 lug models
Put this lift/leveling kit on yesterday, took me 4 hrs. I put 31/10.5 and I still rub.
Best descriptive video ever
Fantastic instructional video, big help. Thank you!
This would work great. Perfect for just going around in the hunting club
Do we know what the actual sizes tires are after the lift is installed? Also what brand? Looks good!
You guys do put together a great video instruction, but you didn't note you'd need a second right hand upon rear shock installation. Lol (39:45 "we're just gonna push our bolt through")
Really great video gives a lot of confidence thanks
Don’t forget to replace the front diff needle bearing while you have the front end torn off.
You make it look so easy, great info, but unfortunately I don’t have the time and tools to do it, I have 2017 Tacoma that will love to install this lift kit, I’m Southern California..
You can always have a local shop install a kit like this for you if you don't have the tools! -Zach
Excellent video
Thanks for watching! -Zach
Why would the top bushings at 40:26 break to pieces like there dry rotted on my 2022 Tacoma
Sometimes bad bushings can do that unfortunately, so changing to aftermarket shocks that include upgraded bushings is always a great idea!
Sounds like everyone just wants it for the looks. How does it work off road? Does it ride rough?
I have a 08 pre runner but I don’t have a front dif do I have to add the differential spacers since I don’t have a front dif?
Can you do an install of the same lift kit on a 1st gen tacoma
Can you tell me What’s the color code from your Tacoma looking awesome ?
You need to start carrying the 4Runner line accessories!
That may be coming in the future! -Zach
When adding this 3 inch lift should you get new upper and lower control arms?
Can I run the 305/70R16 nitto mud grapps on this lift with a 2015 Tacoma Prerunner
I ended up cutting the rear shock off at the nut using an angle grinder. When the first two methods don't work, get a bigger tool. lol
Wise words to live by, LOL! Thanks for watching! -Zach
Hey joe when will you do a 6in RC lift on the same truck like this video?
We definitely may!! -Zach
what are the names of those wheels and tires? and what size wheel is that?
Do you still have to cut on newer models ? Like 2022 trd off road ?
I have a 08 prerunner and I would very much like to fit 17 inch wheels with 10×31 inch tires. My question is will a 2inch leveling kit work or do I need to install a full suspension lift kit?. One of tour previous videos got me confused big time!
What about the wheel did you need to change it could you use stock?
I went with the supreme spacer lift 3 inch front 2 inch rear what you think about that one
Hello there ! Can i install this to my 2x4 2008 tacoma? I don't do off road
With this kit you don’t heve problem with the upper control arm touching the strut coil?.thanks in advance for your response.
You could potentially make contact at full droop. With 3"+ I would recommend that you upgrade the upper control arms to flatten out the suspension angles for the best drivability! Thanks for watching. :)

If neutral solves your problem it's in the driveline somewhere, u joints, rear axle going out, etc.
Needle bearing.
Thank you my friend good work
Thanks for watching! -Zach
Nice!! With this kit no need sway bar relocation spacers??
What happen if you don’t replace the shock and ca can you fit 295 70R17 if you do the trimming
What kit will work for my 2009 Toyota Tacoma 2wd 5 lug
shouldn't the diff drop spacers be a little thicker to keep the angle more to a stock angle. is there an option to buy a thicker one?
After the lift is done it will need get an alignment?
We always highly recommend getting an alignment after any sort of suspension modification. Thanks for watching! -Zach
He literally says this at the end.
EXCELENT VIDEO, MAY I KNOW THE SIZE OF THE SMALL SPACERS?
Wow I love you did your Tacoma.
If I live near by I let you do my.

@@ExtremeTerrainToyota you can take my haha I want a lift anyway.
I bought an old 2006 Tacoma Double Cab short bed 4.0L that has been lifted 3" but the suspension on the front and rear are very stiff. What could have been the problem? Thanks.
If it was lifted using lift blocks front and rear without the use of adjustable upper control arms, that could be causing the stiff ride! -Zach
great job

Not here, sadly! -Zach
$300 for the kit. What would a mechanics labor cost to install this roughly?
$400-500 roughly
did the 33's scrub?
Where did you get the jack
do you need cutting on the 3rd gen?
noob here, sorry if the question is silly. I have 2019 trd off road, so RC shocks aee considered better then Bislteins?
Bilstein is better than RC.RC is much more affordable compared to it
Which 33inch tires are those?
Yes....finally a truck like mines! Lol. Is the front slightly higher?
The front is going to be slightly higher than the rear, but that will work out perfect if you ever plan to install an aftermarket bumper or bull bar. -Zach
You should be spokesman at corporate level.
Does this need to be regeared on 33s?
Does the rough country rear shock come with a boot for the shock?
They do not but you can find RC shock boots on our site here! ---> www.extremeterrain.com/rough-country-shock-boot-87150.html
Did you have to change the upper control arms to clear the thirty threes.
If you're going with a little more narrow of a 33 like a 255/85R16 or 265/75R16, you should be alright. But if you go with anything wider they may be needed. New upper control arms would be a nice addition to this kit anyway though, as it would help correct your trucks suspension geometry after lifting. -Zach
Do you still use the differential spacers if you have a pre-runner?
I have the Same question were you ever able to figure it out
Same
What would you even be spacing out ??? Imaginary diff and axels ? Of course you don’t
Do I need to upgrade my upper control arms with this kit?
We recommend that you upgrade to an UCA that is suitable for a 3" lift for the best drivability! Thanks for watching!
Can anyone provide the torque specs for all of the parts?
Does this level the truck out?
Can you upload a 6 in lift please!!!!!!!
I'll see what we can do! Thanks for watching regardless! -Zach
I heard that rough country lift kit componets are junk..
I was told by 4x4 shops to stay clear from these kits..
I've used them before and they are great and made in Tennessee so American made is a plus
Shops hate them because there is too little mark up on the price ; )
