EVIL ENERGY 3 in Leveling Lift Kit for Toyota Tacoma 4Runner FJ

Our review of this EVIL ENERGY 3 in leveling lift kit finds it most useful for Toyota owners who want a straightforward way to raise the front of their vehicle by 3 in without major suspension surgery. The biggest reason to consider it is its combination of durable 6061-T6 aluminum construction and CNC precision, which together deliver a robust spacer that bolts on without cutting or strut disassembly. For drivers who want extra clearance for larger tires and a more aggressive stance, this kit is a practical, installable option.

Key Features

• Vehicle Compatibility: Fits 2005-2023 Tacoma (6 lugs only), 2003-2023 4Runner and 2007-2015 FJ Cruiser in 2WD or 4WD, giving clear guidance on fitment for those models.
• Material Strength: Forged from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy to provide a strong, lightweight spacer that resists deformation under load.
• Precision Manufacturing: CNC automatic processing ensures accurate hole positioning and consistent spacer geometry for simpler alignment and installation.
• Chemical and Mechanical Protection: Uses 10.9-grade premium bolts with anodized surface treatment and heat treatment for improved corrosion resistance and durability.
• Functionality: Raises the front by 3 in to increase ground clearance, allow larger rims and tires, and give the vehicle a more aggressive look.
• Relatively Easy Installation: Can be completed within 12 hours without cutting, drilling, or strut and coil disassembly, and includes instructions to guide the process.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, and FJ Cruiser owners who want a moderate, bolt-on front lift to gain clearance for off-road driving or larger tires while keeping installation within a weekend. It is best for people who prefer a durable, machined aluminum spacer rather than more involved suspension modifications.

It is not for drivers who expect a full suspension overhaul, large long-travel lift, or those who need specific alignment tuning beyond typical leveling adjustments. Also, if you have a Tacoma with fewer than six lugs or a different model year outside the listed range, look for a kit that explicitly matches your vehicle.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-strength 6061-T6 aluminum construction offers a lightweight but durable solution.
• CNC precision and quality bolts reduce fitment issues and corrosion risk over time.
• Provides a clear 3 in front lift to improve clearance and allow larger tires.

Cons

• Lift geometry means the spatial effect is not a direct 1:1 ratio to spacer thickness, so the actual ride height change can vary.
• Fitment is limited to specific Toyota models and 6-lug Tacoma variants only, so it is not universal.

Our Verdict

For Toyota owners who want a reliable, bolt-on way to raise the front by about 3 in, this EVIL ENERGY spacer kit is good value: it pairs durable 6061-T6 aluminum and CNC accuracy with an installation process that avoids cutting or strut teardown. It is a solid choice for drivers seeking modest lift and more tire clearance without a full suspension conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this kit fit a 2010 Tacoma?
Yes, it is compatible with 2005-2023 Tacoma models that use 6-lug wheels; confirm your truck has 6 lugs before ordering.

Does installation require cutting or strut removal?
No cutting or drilling is required and the kit does not require strut or coil disassembly like some other kits, though installation can take up to 12 hours.

Does the kit change ride geometry exactly by spacer thickness?
No, due to suspension geometry the ratio between lift height and spacer thickness is not a strict 1:1, so actual height change can vary.
