A 2024 Tacoma lift runs 1 to 3.5 inches and costs about $570 to $5,000 in parts, depending on trim and shock quality. Rough Country’s 3.5-inch kit lists at $849.95 for coil-rear 4WD trucks. Kits are trim-specific, because the 4th gen Tacoma uses leaf springs on some trims and coil springs on others.
Key takeaways
- The 2024 and newer Tacoma (4th gen) rides on the new TNGA-F platform, so 2016-2023 lift kits do not fit it.
- Rear suspension varies by trim: base trims use leaf springs, while most upper trims use a multi-link coil rear with a track bar.
- Rough Country’s 3.5-inch kit for 2024-2026 Tacoma 4WD includes upper control arms and a rear track bar bracket, and excludes leaf-rear, TRD Pro, Trailhunter and AVS trucks, per the manufacturer.
- The TRD Pro and Trailhunter already ship with factory lift and 33-inch tires.
- Rough Country lists tire options up to 35×11.50R20 on its 3.5-inch 4th gen kit, subject to test fitting.

Which 2024 Tacoma trims can take a lift kit?
Every 2024 Tacoma 4WD trim can be lifted, but each group needs a different kit. The key question is whether the rear uses leaf springs or coil springs, and whether the truck has adaptive or factory off-road suspension.
- Leaf-spring rear (base trims such as SR and some SR5): needs a kit with a rear leaf pack, add-a-leaf or blocks.
- Coil-spring rear (most TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road and Limited trucks): needs rear coils or spacers plus a track bar bracket.
- TRD Pro and Trailhunter: already lifted from the factory with Fox or Old Man Emu suspension, so most kits exclude them.
- Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS): excluded from most budget kits.
Check the rear of your truck. Leaf springs are stacked steel plates, while coil springs are round coils beside a track bar. A track bar is the diagonal bar that keeps the rear axle centered.
What are the best 4th gen Tacoma lift kit options?
The best 4th gen Tacoma lift kit depends on how you drive and how much you want to spend. Prices below are typical 2026 street prices from retailers such as SRQ Fabrications.
| Kit | Lift height | Price range | What’s included | Best for | Not good for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bilstein 5100 | Adjustable, about 0-2 in. | $570-$800 | Height-adjustable front shocks, rear shocks | Mild level, budget | Heavy loads |
| Rough Country 3.5 in. | 3.5 in. | $850-$1,200 | Spacers, upper control arms, rear track bar bracket | Coil-rear trucks, 33s | TRD Pro, Trailhunter, leaf rear |
| Eibach Pro Truck Stage 1-2 | 1-3 in. | $1,050-$1,565 | Lift springs, sport shocks | Street ride quality | Big tires |
| Old Man Emu BP-51 | 3 in. | $3,540-$4,540 | Bypass shocks, springs, UCA option | Overlanding | Budget builds |
| Fox Performance Elite | 1-3 in. front | $4,700-$5,000 | Adjustable coilovers, rear shocks | Fast trail driving | Daily-driver budgets |
For a daily-driven TRD Off-Road, a 2 to 2.5 inch spring and shock kit is the better choice because it keeps the factory upper control arms and costs far less than a bypass setup.
What size tires fit a lifted 2024 Tacoma?
A 2024 Tacoma with 2 to 3.5 inches of lift fits 33-inch tires, such as 285/70R17 or 265/75R18, with minor trimming on most trims. Rough Country lists tire sizes up to 35×11.50R20 for its 3.5-inch kit, but 35s on a mid-size truck rub at full lock and slow the truck noticeably.
How much does a 2024 Tacoma lift cost installed?
Lifting a 2024 Tacoma costs about $1,000 to $2,000 installed for a budget or spring kit, and $4,000 to $6,500 installed for bypass shocks with upper control arms. Labor runs 4 to 8 hours at $100 to $175 per hour, based on typical US shop labor rates in 2026, plus $100 to $200 for the alignment. See our suspension lift kit installation cost guide for how shops quote it.
How do you install a lift on a 2024 Tacoma?
A strut and spring lift on a coil-rear 2024 Tacoma takes 5 to 7 hours for two people with jack stands, a torque wrench and a spring compressor if the kit needs one. Follow your kit’s instructions.
- Measure ride height at all four wheel openings.
- Raise the truck, support the frame on jack stands, and remove the wheels.
- Disconnect the sway bar links, tie rod ends and upper ball joint on one front corner.
- Remove the front strut, install the new strut or spacer, and install the new upper control arm if included.
- Repeat on the other front corner.
- In the rear, support the axle, disconnect the shocks and track bar, and install the new springs or spacers.
- Install the rear track bar bracket and new shocks, then torque every bolt at ride height.
- Get an alignment the same day.
Safety note: This job touches steering and suspension load. Never disassemble a strut without a proper spring compressor.
Frequently asked questions
Will a 3rd gen Tacoma lift kit fit a 2024 Tacoma?
No. The 2024 Tacoma moved to the TNGA-F platform with new front suspension mounts and, on most upper trims, a coil-spring rear. Kits for 2016-2023 trucks will not bolt on. Buy a kit that lists 2024-2026 fitment and matches your rear spring type.
Can you lift a 2024 Tacoma TRD Pro?
Yes, but with fewer options. The TRD Pro already sits higher on Fox QS3 shocks and 33-inch tires, and budget kits like Rough Country’s 3.5-inch exclude it. Owners usually add a small spacer or a premium coilover made for the TRD Pro.
What is the biggest tire on a lifted 2024 Tacoma?
33-inch tires are the practical limit for most owners. A 2 to 3.5 inch lift clears 285/70R17 or similar 33-inch sizes with minor trimming. Rough Country lists up to 35×11.50R20 on its 3.5-inch kit, but 35s rub at full lock and hurt acceleration.
Does a 2025 Tacoma use the same lift kits as 2024?
Yes. The 2024, 2025 and 2026 Tacoma share the same 4th gen platform and suspension, so kits list 2024-2026 fitment. Match the kit to your trim and rear spring type rather than the model year.
Do I need upper control arms to lift a 2024 Tacoma?
Yes, above about 2.5 to 3 inches. Taller lifts push the upper ball joint past its range and make alignment hard. Rough Country includes upper control arms in its 3.5-inch 4th gen kit. Mild 1 to 2 inch lifts usually align fine on factory arms.
The bottom line
The right 2024 Tacoma lift depends on trim first: match the kit to your rear spring type, stay at 2 to 3 inches on 33s, and get a same-day alignment. Our Toyota Tacoma lift kits guide compares every generation side by side.
