BDS 6 Inch Lift Kit | 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma 4WD | w/ FOX 2.0 Performance Series Rear Shocks

This kit is configured with FOX 2.0 Performance Series IFP gas shocks for the rear. FOX 2.0 shocks feature a 2-inch impact extruded aluminum body, an internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design, a massive 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends, race-developed high-flow piston design with application-specific valving, and a long-lasting clear anodized finish.

Overview

BDS Suspension offers a 6-inch suspension lift kit for the 2005–2015 Toyota Tacoma 4WD, designed to improve stance, performance, and capability with clearance for up to 35-inch tires. Up front, the kit uses top-mounted strut spacers, high-arched 1/4-inch thick steel crossmembers, a multipiece differential relocation bracket system, and heavy duty skid plates for off-road protection. Steering geometry is corrected at the new ride height via CNC-machined ductile iron steering knuckles that retain factory tie rod ends and maintain ESC system compatibility. Sway bar drops, bump stop extensions, brake line brackets, lower control arm cams, and all necessary hardware are included for a comprehensive front suspension upgrade. The rear utilizes heavy duty cast steel lift blocks, a brake line bracket, and longer U-bolts, paired with your choice of NX2 Nitro Series or FOX 2.0 Performance Series rear shocks.
