The system pairs 2.5 EXP Series front coilovers with a tubular upper control arm, sway bar relocation brackets, a rear add-a-leaf kit, and 2.0 Aluminum Series remote reservoir rear shocks, all matched and tuned to work together. It supports fitment of up to 33-inch tires and is available as a single kit (SKU K53222T).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-shipping-note\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICON parts ship direct from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, mostly by UPS Ground.

A snap-ring adjustment provides 1–2 inches of front lift over stock, letting owners dial in ride height without purchasing separate springs. The EXP format sits between a spacer lift and a full threaded-body coilover in both cost and capability, delivering custom-tuned performance and maximum travel without the expense of a complete spring replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCorrected Geometry Up Front, Improved Ride Quality Out Back\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tubular upper control arm kit restores and improves front-end geometry by adding caster correction and increasing clearance around suspension components. The ICON Delta Joint (U.S. Pat. 10731700) replaces the OEM ball joint and allows full bump and droop travel without bind. The Delta Joint is a serviceable design that can be maintained over the life of the vehicle rather than replaced as a sealed unit. Sway bar relocation brackets keep the sway bar clear of the EXP coilovers through the full range of wheel travel, so no OEM components are overstressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the rear, the 3-leaf add-a-leaf kit installs in place of the OEM overload leaf, softening the spring rate ramp-up that makes stock Tacomas ride harshly when unloaded. The result is 1.5 inches of rear lift alongside a more compliant ride on pavement and trail. The 2.0 Aluminum Series remote reservoir rear shocks are nitrogen-charged monotubes, fully rebuildable and tuned to complement the 2.5 EXP fronts for balanced vehicle control across both axles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.5 EXP Front Coilovers (×2):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5-inch rebuildable shock body, reuses factory coil spring, 1–2\" snap-ring-adjustable front lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTubular UCA with Delta Joint (×1 kit):\u003c\/strong\u003e Caster correction, improved clearance, serviceable patented Delta Joint replaces OEM ball joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSway Bar Relocation Brackets (×1 kit):\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintains sway bar clearance from EXP coilovers through full wheel travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Add-a-Leaf Kit (×1):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-leaf kit replaces OEM overload leaf, softens spring rate, lifts rear 1.5\" over stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir Rear Shocks (×2):\u003c\/strong\u003e Nitrogen-charged monotube, fully rebuildable, tuned to balance with EXP fronts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Wheel and Tire Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory wheels and tires fit; up to 33×11.50-inch aftermarket tires supported (minor fender trimming may be required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFront Lift Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1–2 inches (snap-ring adjustable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRear Lift Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.5 inches over stock\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFront Shock Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.5 inches (EXP Series)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRear Shock Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.0 Aluminum Series, remote reservoir, nitrogen-charged monotube\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMax Supported Tire Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e33×11.50 inches (minor fender trimming may be required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eK53222T\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e840103421094\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis system suits 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD owners who want a complete, matched suspension upgrade with 1–2 inches of adjustable front lift, 1.5 inches of rear lift, corrected front geometry, and support for up to 33-inch tires, whether the primary use is daily driving, weekend overlanding, or mixed on- and off-road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis system does not fit 2005–2015 rear-wheel-drive Tacomas with 5 lug studs, and it is not compatible with the TRD Pro Tacoma.
