ICON - Stage 3 EXP Suspension Lift Kit - Toyota Tacoma 2016-2023

ICON - Stage 3 EXP Suspension Lift Kit 

Upgrade your 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma with the ICON Stage 3 EXP Suspension System, a complete suspension package designed for improved ride quality, handling, and off-road performance while maintaining excellent everyday drivability.

Stage 3 EXP builds on the EXP platform by adding ICON Delta Joint upper control arms and 2.0 remote reservoir rear shocks, giving your Tacoma improved suspension geometry, additional strength, and better heat management for more demanding driving.

The EXP front shocks retain your Tacoma's factory front coil springs and associated hardware, making this an excellent step between a basic leveling system and ICON's complete threaded-body coilover systems.

Choose Your Upper Control Arms

This kit is available with two ICON UCA options:

Tubular Delta Joint UCA

• Tubular steel construction

• ICON Delta Joint

• Increased strength and durability

• Designed to improve alignment and suspension geometry on lifted Tacomas

• Best choice for customers looking for maximum value

Billet Delta Joint UCA

Both options provide the suspension geometry benefits needed for the Stage 3 EXP system. The primary difference is UCA construction and price.
