Locked 2005-23 2nd/3rd Gen Tacoma 2.5" Coilover Lift Kit

Description

Endless washboards and heavily corrugated Forest Service Roads will quickly overheat factory suspension, leading to severe shock fade and a punishing ride. The Locked Offroad 2.5" Coilover Lift Kit for 2005–2023 Tacomas (2nd and 3rd Gen) solves this by drastically increasing oil volume and introducing precise damping control. This shop-proven, direct bolt-on system unlocks up to 25% more front wheel travel and utilizes finned remote reservoirs to keep your fluid cool and your front end planted, no matter how hard you push the platform.

Key Features

Dialed-In Damping: The 22-position compression adjusters allow you to quickly fine-tune the suspension firmness with a simple click. Soften the ride for high-speed washboards, or dial it firm to prevent bottoming out when loaded down with camping gear or running heavy on the pavement.
Enhanced Cooling Capacity: Oversized 2.5-inch shock bodies and finned remote reservoirs significantly increase oil capacity and heat dissipation, effectively eliminating shock fade during long, aggressive trail runs.
Greater Articulation: Unlocking up to 25% more front wheel travel over the stock configuration means better traction through deep cross-ditches and a more stable, controlled feel in off-camber situations.
Lifetime Serviceability: These coilovers are fully rebuildable and tunable. Instead of replacing them when they wear down, they can be easily serviced to maintain peak performance for the life of your truck.

What’s Included

(2) Locked Offroad 2.5" Coilover Shocks
(2) HyperCo Springs (Available in 600 lb, 650 lb, or 700 lb rates)
(2) Finned Remote Reservoirs with Compression Adjusters
Remote reservoir hoses, mounting brackets, and all necessary hardware
(1) Spanner wrench for ride height adjustment
Full installation instructions

Pro Tip: Because these coilovers push your suspension geometry well beyond factory limits, aftermarket upper control arms (UCAs) are absolutely required to correct your alignment and allow full droop. Pair this kit with a solid set of UCAs from our Suspension collection to get the absolute most out of that 25% travel increase.

Installation Information
- DIY Difficulty: Medium
- Installing front coilovers on the Tacoma platform is a straightforward bolt-on process requiring no welding or cutting, but working with heavy suspension components requires proper jacks, tools, and mechanical competence.
- If you'd rather leave the heavy lifting to the pros, bring your truck down to our Surrey, BC shop. The O2 team can handle the complete installation, properly align your new UCAs, and help you set the baseline clicks on your adjusters. Contact us today to schedule your shop time.
