Dirt King Tacoma Product Lineup
MT Trail Runner Kit (Mid Travel)
The Dirt King MT Trail Runner Kit is the most popular Tacoma upgrade for daily driven trucks that see regular trail and desert use. Available for 2005-2023 and 2024-2025 Tacomas, the MT kit includes:
- Dirt King upper control arms (4130 or billet options)
- Coil bucket shock mounts
- Reservoir mounts
- Compatible with Dirt King 2.0 IFP coilovers or 2.5 DCA remote reservoir coilovers
- Significant travel gain over stock
- Fits 2WD and 4WD
Starting around $2,847, the MT Trail Runner Kit represents excellent value for the performance gain — a meaningful upgrade that maintains street drivability while dramatically improving off-road capability.
MT PreRunner Kit (Mid Travel PreRunner)
The MT PreRunner Kit adds lower control arm components to the Trail Runner package for additional geometry improvement and travel gain. Starting around $5,647 for 2005-2023 Tacomas, this is the right choice for Tacoma owners who want maximum mid travel performance.
LT Trail Runner Elite Kit (Long Travel)
The Dirt King long travel kit for the Tacoma is a serious suspension conversion — providing dramatically more front travel than any mid travel system. Starting around $10,040 and including UCAs, spindles, lower arms, and shock mounting hardware, this is the kit for serious desert and trail runners who want race-inspired performance on their Tacoma.
LT PreRunner and PreRunner Elite Kits
The full long travel PreRunner kits represent the ultimate Tacoma suspension build — complete front end conversions starting around $13,000-19,000 depending on configuration. These are purpose-built performance systems for Tacoma owners who want the absolute most from their suspension.
4130 and Billet Upper Control Arms
For Tacoma owners who want improved geometry and travel without a full kit, Dirt King's standalone upper control arms are the entry point. Available in 4130 chromoly ($899) and billet machined ($1,449) for 2005-2023 and 2024-2025 Tacomas.
UCAs alone provide meaningful improvements in caster correction, ball joint angle at lifted heights, and shock travel — making them an excellent first step in any Tacoma build.
Dirt King Tacoma Shocks and Coilovers
Dirt King offers their own branded coilover and shock systems for the Tacoma:
- 2.0 IFP Coilovers — $1,299 for 2005-2023 and 2024-2025 Tacomas
- 2.0 IFP Smooth Body Rear Shocks — $649
- 2.5 DCA Remote Reservoir Coilovers — $2,499 for front
- 2.5 DCA Smooth Body Remote Reservoir Rear Shocks — $1,699
Which Dirt King Tacoma Kit Is Right for You?
Choosing the right Dirt King kit depends on your budget, intended use, and how you want your Tacoma to perform:
Daily Driver / Weekend Trail — MT Trail Runner Kit
If your Tacoma is your daily driver and you hit trails and light desert on weekends, the MT Trail Runner kit gives you meaningful performance gains without compromising street drivability. Most cost-effective entry into Dirt King performance.
Serious Trail / Desert Runner — MT PreRunner or LT Trail Runner
For riders who push their Tacoma hard on desert trails, wash runs, and serious off-road terrain, step up to the MT PreRunner or entry long travel kit. More travel means more capability at speed.
Race-Inspired Build — LT PreRunner or Elite
For Tacoma owners building a desert or race-inspired machine, the LT PreRunner and Elite kits deliver maximum travel and geometry correction for the highest level of performance.
