Toyota FJ Cruiser Lift Kit Installation in Kansas City
Expert Toyota FJ Cruiser Lift Kit Installation in Kansas City
The Toyota FJ Cruiser is one of the most capable off-road SUVs ever built, and a lift kit takes it to the next level. American Fusion Wheels is the Kansas City metro's go-to shop for FJ Cruiser lift kit installations. We've worked on dozens of FJ Cruisers and know the 1GR-FE drivetrain platform inside and out.
We offer suspension lifts ranging from 2" to 3". Going beyond 3 inches on an FJ Cruiser requires significant modification to the driveshaft, CV joints, and bump stops, so we recommend staying in the 2-3" sweet spot for the best balance of clearance and reliability. Top brands we carry include Icon, Old Man Emu, Bilstein, Fox, Toytec, Total Chaos.
Icon & Old Man Emu — The Gold Standard for FJ Cruiser Lifts
Icon Vehicle Dynamics and Old Man Emu (ARB) are the two most popular lift solutions for the FJ Cruiser community. Icon's Stage series kits offer adjustable coilovers for dialing in your ride, while OME kits provide a proven, ride-quality-focused lift that's perfect for daily driving and weekend trails. We install both regularly.
What's Included
Every lift kit installation at AFW includes professional mounting, a 4-wheel alignment, and a thorough test drive. We also inspect your driveline angles, brake lines, and steering components to make sure everything works perfectly at the new ride height.
Pair Your Lift with New Wheels & Tires
Most FJ Cruiser owners combine their lift with a new wheel and tire package. The FJ Cruiser uses a 6x139.7 (6x5.5") bolt pattern. Popular wheel sizes include 16x8, 17x8.5, 17x9, 18x9 paired with 265/75R16, 285/70R17, 285/75R16, 33x12.50R17 tires. A 2-3" lift opens up clearance for 285/70R17 or 33" tires without rubbing. We carry 85+ wheel brands and can build a complete package with mounting, balancing, and TPMS included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about fj cruiser lift kit installation at American Fusion Wheels.
How much does a FJ Cruiser lift kit cost?
FJ Cruiser lift kits at AFW range from $800 for a basic spacer lift to $3,500+ for a full Icon Stage 7 or Total Chaos long-travel system. Installation is typically $400-$800 depending on complexity. We include alignment with every install.
What size tires can I run after lifting my FJ Cruiser?
A 2" lift on the FJ Cruiser clears 285/70R17 (33") tires with proper wheel offset. A 3" lift opens up room for 285/75R16 or 33x12.50R17 without rubbing. Going to 35" tires requires significant body modification and is not recommended for daily drivers.
Which lift kit brand is best for the FJ Cruiser?
Icon Vehicle Dynamics and Old Man Emu are the two most popular and proven choices for the FJ Cruiser. Icon offers adjustable coilovers for trail tuning, while OME provides excellent ride quality for daily/weekend use. Fox and Bilstein are also excellent options.
How long does a FJ Cruiser lift installation take?
A spacer lift takes 3-4 hours. A full suspension lift (Icon or OME) typically takes 6-8 hours. We recommend dropping your FJ Cruiser off in the morning and picking it up the same day or next morning.
Can I lift my FJ Cruiser more than 3 inches?
You can, but it's not recommended without significant supporting modifications. Going beyond 3" on the FJ Cruiser puts stress on CV joints, requires driveshaft modifications, and can affect the steering geometry. The 2-3" range gives you the best balance of clearance and reliability.
Will a lift void my Toyota warranty?
Since the FJ Cruiser was discontinued in 2014, factory warranty is no longer a concern for any remaining models. A lift kit itself does not void your entire warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Act regardless.
