Get More Travel Out of Your 1st Gen Tacoma
The factory 1st Gen Tacoma front suspension was designed around stock-width control arms and limited wheel travel. For trucks being built for higher-speed off-road use, larger tires, and more suspension travel, simply adding a larger shock doesn’t solve the limitations of the factory suspension geometry.
That’s why we developed our 1996–2004 Toyota Tacoma Long Travel Kit.
The system increases front track width 3.5″ per side and delivers up to 14″ of fully functional wheel travel on 2WD Tacomas and 13″ on 4WD models.
Designed Around Real Off-Road Use
Our Version 2 lower control arms position the lower ball joint 1″ farther forward, helping provide additional firewall clearance for larger tires. The arms also feature a high-clearance design, integrated hydraulic bump-stop strike pads, and dual lower shock mounts for customers who want to run a secondary shock.
The tubular upper control arms use FK 3/4″ heim pivots and 1″ uniballs as standard equipment, providing the strength, articulation, and alignment adjustment needed for a serious long-travel suspension system.
Upper coil bucket adapters allow the system to use 8″ stroke coilovers, while extended DOT stainless steel brake lines and limit straps are included to support the increased suspension travel.
For 4WD Tacomas, the kit also includes the required extended complete front axle package.
Pair the system with Solo Motorsports Fully Fabricated Spindles and our 1″ Lower Uniball & Heim Steering Conversion for an even more capable front suspension package.
Made in the USA.
