Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 54900KN 5" Lift Kit with Knuckles and 1 Piece Sub-Frame with SX8000 Shocks is a purpose-built suspension upgrade for 1995–2004 Toyota Tacoma 4WD, delivering proven off-road capability with a rugged, reliable design.
- Lift Height: 5" front / 4" rear lift to accommodate larger tires while maintaining a balanced stance.
- Shocks Included: Rear SX8000 nitro gas shocks included; front uses stock struts that can be retained for a near-factory ride feel.
- Knuckles & Spindles: Heavy-duty replacement knuckles and spindles with upper ball joints and bearings pressed into new spindles for strengthened steering geometry.
- Sub-Frame: One-piece sub-frame delivers added torsional strength and improved durability under harsh off-road conditions.
- ABS & Hubs: Designed to fit with ABS brakes; fits automatic hubs only (manual hubs not supported); non-ABS setups may require plugs.
- Rim Backspacing: Requires rims with 4.5" backspacing or less to ensure proper fit and alignment.
- Recommended Tire Size: Supports up to 33" tires (33" x 12.5" is the typical target for this kit).
- Warranty: Backed by Tuff Country’s Limited Lifetime Warranty for lasting confidence on and off the trail.
- Made in USA: Engineered and manufactured in the United States for consistent quality and performance.
With this lift, you’ll gain substantial ground clearance for rockier terrain and larger tires, while the reinforced knuckles and one-piece sub-frame deliver improved durability and predictable handling. The system is designed to balance everyday drivability with off-road capability, making it a solid choice for Tacoma owners who tackle dirt roads, gravel trails, and weekend adventures. If you’re aiming for a taller stance without sacrificing control, this kit provides a robust, factory-conscious upgrade built to endure.
