The 2016-2023 Gen 3 Tacoma is a great choice for daily driving, overlanding, desert racing, and everything in between.<b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>Why install TOTAL CHAOS suspension?\u00a0 <\/b>Reliable and dependable off road equipment matters. Performance suspension upgrades add lift and reliability, and performance shocks have more precise valving and spring rates than factory shocks. There are many reasons you might want to add performance suspension upgrades as your lift kit to your Gen 3 Toyota Tacoma. Here are just a few:<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>More wheel travel.<\/b> TOTAL CHAOS upper control arms (UCA\u2019s) and long travel kits are designed to provide the maximum wheel travel when paired with custom aftermarket extended length coil-over shocks. More wheel travel allows your tires to remain in contact with the terrain flowing over obstacles more easily. Added wheel travel helps control the vehicle at high speed, and at low speed during technical rock crawling.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>Improved ride quality<\/b>. Urethane bushings pivot freely on upper and lower control arms and do not deflect like a rubber bushing. This deflection can cause more body roll or a sloppy steering feel when driving on and off road. Urethane pivot bushings tighten the steering response for better overall handling and control when driving on and off road.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>Increased ground clearance.<\/b> Performance lift kits are one of the best upgrades you can make for your Gen 3 Tacoma to go off road and also provides the ability to fit larger tires. Added ground clearance will allow you crawl over obstacles on the trail. Install up to a <span style=\"background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;\">285\/70R17 or 33-inch tall tire with no rubbing. Tires must be mounted on wheels with the appropriate backspacing. Bigger tires<\/span> provide more ground clearance and make bumps effectively smaller when you encounter them.<\/p><p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Why is the 2016\u20132023 Gen 3 Toyota Tacoma so popular?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"The 2016\u20132023 Gen 3 Tacoma is one of the most popular midsize trucks due to its durability, reliability, and massive aftermarket support.

Independent front suspension is the most diverse system for all terrain. Upgrading your suspension with more than just a lift kit will transform your Tacoma from a rough riding pickup into a capable off-roader that can soak up any terrain without crashing into the bump stops off road. You can expect improved handing, more ground clearance and overall better trail performance when you add TOTAL CHAOS suspension components to your lifted Toyota Tacoma.
