Lift Kit Installation near Merriam, KS
Merriam sits right along the I-35 corridor in Johnson County, and the best lift kit shop in the area is about 10 minutes north at American Fusion Wheels in Shawnee. Whether you are shopping near the Merriam Town Center, driving on Antioch Rd, or passing through the IKEA corridor on I-35, our shop is a quick hop up the highway. No need to drive across Kansas City for reliable 4x4 lift kit work when we are right around the corner.
We install leveling kits, body lifts, and full suspension lifts on every major truck and Jeep platform: Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, and Ranger. Chevy Silverado 1500, 2500, 3500, and Colorado. GMC Sierra and Canyon. Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500. Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, and 4Runner. Jeep Wrangler JL, JK, Gladiator JT, and Grand Cherokee. If it drives through Merriam on four wheels and needs a lift, we handle it.
Our lift kit inventory covers every budget and height goal:
- Leveling kits ($200+) — Eliminate factory rake, fit slightly larger tires, and give your truck a clean level stance. Installed in 1 to 2 hours. A quick and affordable upgrade for Merriam truck owners who want a sharper look without a full suspension overhaul.
- Mid-range lifts ($800-$3,000) — 3 to 4 inch kits from Rough Country and ReadyLift. Fit 33-inch tires, improve ground clearance, and maintain daily-driver ride quality for the commute up I-35 or along Shawnee Mission Pkwy.
- Performance lifts ($3,000-$6,000+) — Full suspension systems from BDS, Fabtech, Fox, and Icon. 4 to 6+ inches of lift, long-travel shocks, heavy-duty control arms, and room for 35 to 37-inch tires. Built for real 4x4 off-road capability and a commanding street presence.
Merriam drivers know the I-35 corridor well, and that same highway brings you directly to our shop. From the Merriam Town Center area at I-35 and Antioch Rd, take I-35 north to the Shawnee Mission Pkwy exit and head west — you are at our door in about 10 minutes. From the Antioch Rd or Shawnee Mission Pkwy side of Merriam, just head west on Shawnee Mission Pkwy. We are at 12310 W 62nd Ter, Shawnee, KS 66216, right off K-7 and I-435.
Every lift kit installation includes a precision 4-wheel alignment on Hunter equipment at no additional charge. We also offer complete lifted truck builds — pair your lift with custom wheels from over 85 brands, off-road tires from BFGoodrich, Nitto, Toyo, and Mickey Thompson, steel bumpers, rock lights, and fender flares for a turnkey setup. Build the whole rig at once or upgrade piece by piece over time.
Merriam is a hub for truck owners who use I-35 daily, and lifted trucks need proper alignment to handle highway miles without destroying tires. Our Hunter alignment system is the same equipment used by dealerships, and we calibrate it specifically for lifted vehicles — not just stock-height passenger cars. That attention to detail is what sets us apart from shops that bolt on a lift and send you down the road.
Financing is available including no-credit-check options. Finance the lift kit, wheels, tires, and installation as one monthly payment. Many Merriam customers finance the complete build and drive away with the truck they want today instead of waiting months to save up.
Call 913-291-2027 or stop by our Shawnee shop for a lift kit consultation. Merriam's most trusted lift kit installer is just up I-35.

Call 913-291-2027 for an exact quote for your vehicle.
How far is American Fusion Wheels from Merriam?
About 10 minutes. Our shop at 12310 W 62nd Ter in Shawnee is a quick drive from Merriam. Take I-35 north and exit at Shawnee Mission Pkwy, or take Shawnee Mission Pkwy west from the Antioch Rd area. If you are near the Merriam Town Center or the IKEA corridor along I-35, you are practically next door. Many of our Merriam customers drop off their truck in the morning and pick it up after work.
What is the difference between a leveling kit and a suspension lift?
A leveling kit raises the front of your truck 1 to 2.5 inches to eliminate factory rake, giving a level stance and room for slightly larger tires. It is affordable and installs in 1 to 2 hours. A suspension lift replaces or adds components throughout the entire suspension — control arms, shocks, springs, and sometimes driveshaft and brake line extensions — to raise the vehicle 3 to 6+ inches. Suspension lifts deliver significantly more ground clearance, allow much larger tires, and provide real 4x4 off-road capability.
What lift kit brands do you carry?
We carry and install Rough Country, BDS Suspension, Fabtech, Fox Racing Shox, Icon Vehicle Dynamics, and ReadyLift. Each brand serves different needs — Rough Country delivers reliable performance at a budget-friendly price, BDS and Fabtech offer mid-range systems with excellent ride quality, and Fox and Icon provide premium long-travel shocks and coilovers for serious 4x4 off-road use. We match the brand to your driving habits, vehicle, and budget.
Is an alignment included with lift kit installation?
Yes. Every lift kit we install includes a full 4-wheel alignment on Hunter equipment at no additional charge. Lifting your vehicle changes the suspension geometry, which directly affects tire wear and steering behavior. We perform the alignment as the final step of every lift installation to make sure your truck or Jeep tracks straight and your tires wear evenly on I-35, Antioch Rd, and Shawnee Mission Pkwy.
Can I bring my own lift kit for installation?
Absolutely. We install customer-supplied lift kits regularly and charge labor only. Make sure your kit is complete with all hardware, instructions, and components — missing parts can delay the job. Kits purchased through us include our fitment guarantee and we handle any manufacturer warranty issues directly. Either way, you get the same professional installation and alignment included with every lift.
What trucks and Jeeps do you install lift kits on?
We install lift kits on every major truck and Jeep platform. Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, and Ranger. Chevy Silverado 1500, 2500, 3500, and Colorado. GMC Sierra and Canyon. Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500. Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, and 4Runner. Jeep Wrangler JL, JK, TJ, Gladiator JT, and Grand Cherokee. If it has 4x4 capability and needs a lift, we handle it.
How long does lift kit installation take?
Leveling kits take 1 to 2 hours. Full suspension lifts with new shocks, control arms, and alignment typically take 4 to 8 hours depending on the vehicle and kit complexity. Jeep Wrangler lifts average 4 to 6 hours. Most jobs are completed same-day — Merriam customers often drop off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon. We recommend scheduling an appointment so we can reserve the bay and have your parts ready.

Open in Google Maps →"Had a 6-inch BDS lift with 35-inch Nitto Terra Grapplers and Fuel Blitz wheels installed on my F-150 Lariat. The shop is 5 minutes from Merriam — closest quality lift shop I could find. They had the truck done in a day and a half and the alignment was spot on. The BDS kit rides way better than the Rough Country I had on my last truck. No regrets."— Kyle F. 2021 Ford F-150 Lariat
