Description
Unlock race-proven portal performance on your 4th-gen Tacoma. The 74Weld NGA Portal Axle Kit delivers true ground-clearance, a 1.22:1 hub reduction (22%), and a ~3.88" lift from the axle centerline—without cranking your suspension geometry out of spec. Keep your factory ride quality, steering feel, and CV angles while clearing 35–37" tires with far less stress on driveline components.
If you’re building a Tacoma that actually sees rocks, ruts, and loaded trips, portals are the cheat code. Instead of lifting the suspension (and all the compromises that follow), you lift the axles—exactly why Ultra4 and desert racers trust 74Weld.
Why choose 74Weld portals for your 2024+ Tacoma
-
Real ground-clearance: The gearbox sits below the wheel centerline, raising the axles—so diffs, control arms, and tie rods ride higher out on the trail.
-
Keep OEM ride & handling: Maintain near-flat arms, proper steering geometry, and factory-like CV angles at ride height.
-
22% torque multiplication at the hub: Offsets the larger rolling diameter of 35–37" tires, reducing the need to regear axles and easing strain on the driveline.
-
Race-bred design: Precision-machined billet 7075 knuckles with steel inserts and billet 6061 portal boxes—engineered for abuse, built to win.
-
Braking & ABS friendly: Factory ABS compatibility and dedicated front/rear rotors for confident, predictable stopping.
-
Wider, more stable stance: +2.75" per side track width (≈ +5.5" overall) improves stability and scrub characteristics with stock suspension components.

Fitment notes & wheel/tire guidance
-
35–37" tires are commonly achievable with portals; exact fit depends on wheel specs, alignment, bumpers, and trimming.
-
Verify wheel diameter and caliper/rotor clearance; confirm offset/backspacing to account for the +2.75" per side increase.
-
Professional alignment is required after installation.
-
Speedometer, ADAS, and TPMS functionality should be verified after setup; recalibration may be recommended.

FAQs
Do I still need to regear my axles?
Often no. The 22% hub reduction compensates for the bigger tire’s effective gearing change, letting many owners run 35–37" tires without opening the diffs. Your use case (load, terrain, tire size) ultimately determines final gearing needs.
How is a portal lift different from a suspension lift?
Suspension lifts raise the chassis but keep the axles at the same height, which can worsen CV angles and steering geometry. Portals raise the axles themselves, improving clearance under the most vulnerable components while keeping geometry close to stock.
Will this affect ABS or traction systems?
The kit is factory ABS compatible. Always verify system operation after installation and calibration.
What wheels should I run?
Choose wheels that clear the portal brakes and suit the +2.75" per side track increase. Offset/backspacing and caliper clearance must be confirmed—contact us and we’ll spec a proven combo.
Can R4T install this for me?
Yes. We offer full turn-key installation, alignment, and post-install shake-down. Call 303-909-6047 to book.
