Stock height limits what your truck can handle. You hit ruts sooner, drag over obstacles, and fight that factory nose-down stance on uneven ground.
If you’ve taken your Tacoma off pavement, you’ve felt those limits.
Rough Country’s 6-inch lift kit fixes that by giving you the clearance, stance, and tire room your truck needs to perform.

Get your UTV ready for spring off-roading. Learn the best upgrades for mud riding, including lift kits, winches, windshields, and LED lighting.

So before you hit the trails, let’s talk about the upgrades that actually matter. The kind that help you stay in control and get more out of every ride.

Spring Is Calling. Is Your UTV Ready?

Find the right fender flares for your truck or Jeep. Compare OE, pocket style, SF1, WF1, and Sport flares for proper tire coverage and fitment

You upgraded to bigger tires. Maybe added a lift. Now your tread sticks out past the body and throws mud down the side of your truck like you meant to do it. Aggressive? Yes. Practical? Not so much.
The right Rough Country fender flares fix that. They add proper tire coverage, protect your paint, and finish your build so it looks intentional.
Let’s break down how to choose the right set.

Cold air intake horsepower gains explained. See real 5–15 HP increases, what affects performance, and what your truck, Jeep, or SUV can expect.

If you’re asking how much horsepower a cold air intake adds, you want real numbers. Not hype. Not inflated claims.
Most trucks and SUVs gain 5 to 15 horsepower from a quality cold air intake.
That’s it. That’s the honest range.
On some engines you’ll see closer to 5 HP. On others, especially V8s, you might see 12 to 15 HP. The difference depends on your engine size, how restrictive your factory intake is, and what other mods you’re running.
For most owners, the bigger difference isn’t just peak horsepower. It’s throttle response. Your truck feels quicker. It revs easier. It pulls harder in the mid-range. To understand the numbers, you need to understand how airflow, engine size, and intake design all work together.
