Truck Lift Kits Kansas City
Professional truck lift kit installation in Kansas City. From 2-inch leveling kits to 12-inch show builds — F-150, Silverado, Ram, Tacoma, Tundra, and HD trucks. Alignment included with every install.
Truck Lift Kit Installation in Kansas City
American Fusion Wheels is Kansas City's specialist for professional truck lift kit installation. Whether you drive a Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ram 1500, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, or a heavy-duty 2500/3500 series, our Shawnee, KS shop has the brands, the experience, and the equipment to lift your truck right the first time. Every truck lift kit installation includes a professional alignment — because a lifted truck without proper alignment chews through tires and pulls to one side.
Lift Heights for Every Goal
Not every truck owner wants the same thing. Some want a subtle 2-inch level to eliminate factory rake and fit 33-inch tires for a clean, aggressive look on their daily-driven F-150 or Tacoma. Others want a 4- to 6-inch suspension lift to clear 35-inch all-terrain tires on their Silverado or Ram 1500 for a combination of highway presence and weekend trail capability. And some want a full 8- to 12-inch show truck build with massive wheels and tires that turn heads at every stoplight on State Line Road.
We install every lift height from 2 inches to 12 inches. More importantly, we match the lift height to your tire goals, your driving habits, and your budget. A 6-inch lift on a Tacoma is a very different build than a 6-inch lift on an F-250, and we spec each one individually.
Body Lifts vs Suspension Lifts for Trucks
Truck owners have two main lift options. A body lift uses polyurethane spacers between the body and the frame to raise the body 1 to 3 inches. Body lifts are affordable ($200 to $500 installed) and do not change the ride quality or suspension geometry. They simply create clearance for slightly larger tires without replacing any suspension components.
A suspension lift replaces the factory springs, shocks, and in many cases the control arms with taller aftermarket components. Suspension lifts provide real ground clearance under the frame and axles, improved suspension travel, and better off-road articulation. They ride better than body lifts at the same height because the suspension is actually designed for the new ride height. For most truck owners who want 33-inch or larger tires and plan to keep the truck for years, a suspension lift is the better long-term investment.
Brands We Install on Trucks
We are not a one-brand shop. We carry and install truck lift kits from Rough Country (budget-friendly kits with solid performance), BDS Suspension (mid-range to premium kits with excellent warranty), Fabtech (performance-oriented kits with Dirt Logic shocks), ReadyLIFT (SST leveling and lift kits designed for easy installation), Fox Racing Shox (premium 2.0 and 2.5 series shocks and coilovers), Icon Vehicle Dynamics (high-end adjustable coilover systems), Zone Offroad (affordable suspension lifts), Superlift (long-arm kits and heavy-duty builds), and Bilstein (5100 series shocks that are the gold standard for daily-driven lifted trucks).
Popular Truck Lift Builds
The most popular truck lift kits we install in Kansas City fall into three categories:
- Daily Driver (2-3 inches): ReadyLIFT SST or Rough Country leveling kit with 33-inch tires. Perfect for F-150s and Ram 1500s that commute on I-435 and K-10 during the week. Affordable, fast install, and a noticeable visual improvement.
- Weekend Warrior (4-6 inches): BDS or Fabtech suspension lift with Fox 2.0 shocks, 35-inch all-terrain tires, and new wheels. The sweet spot for Silverado and Sierra owners who want trail capability without sacrificing daily drivability. This is our most popular build.
- Full Build (6-12 inches): Fabtech or BDS long-travel kit with coilover conversion, 37- to 40-inch tires, custom wheels, fender modifications, and extended brake lines. These are statement trucks — the kind you see at KC truck meets and pulling into Cabela's parking lots. We handle every aspect of the build in-house.
We also specialize in heavy-duty truck lifts for the Ford F-250/F-350, Chevy Silverado 2500HD/3500HD, and Ram 2500/3500. HD trucks have different spring rates, steering geometry, and weight considerations that require kits specifically designed for the platform. BDS and Fabtech both make dedicated HD truck kits that we keep in stock or source within a few days.
Whether you are lifting your first truck or adding height to a rig that has already been built, American Fusion Wheels in Shawnee has the parts, the techs, and the alignment equipment to do it right. Pair your lift with wheels, tires, or a full build package and drive out the same day. Call 913-291-2027 or stop by 12310 W 62nd Ter in Shawnee, KS.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about truck lift kits kansas city at American Fusion Wheels.
What size lift kit should I get for my truck?
That depends on your goals. For a cleaner stance and fitting 33-inch tires, a 2- to 3-inch spacer or leveling kit is usually enough for F-150s, Silverados, and Ram 1500s. If you want to run 35-inch tires and need real ground clearance, a 4- to 6-inch suspension lift is the sweet spot. For show trucks or extreme builds running 37-inch to 40-inch tires, 8- to 12-inch lifts are available from Fabtech, BDS, and others. We will walk you through the best height for your specific truck and tire goals when you call 913-291-2027.
What is the difference between a body lift and a suspension lift on a truck?
A body lift uses spacers between the body and frame to raise the body 1 to 3 inches. It does not change ground clearance, suspension travel, or ride quality — it simply creates space for larger tires at a lower cost. A suspension lift replaces springs, shocks, and sometimes control arms to raise the entire truck including the frame. Suspension lifts provide real ground clearance, improved articulation, and better off-road capability. For most truck owners, a suspension lift is the better long-term investment.
How much does a truck lift kit cost installed in Kansas City?
Installed pricing depends on the lift type and your truck. Spacer leveling kits run $300 to $600 installed. Spring suspension lift kits range from $800 to $2,500 installed depending on the brand and height. Coilover systems from Fox or Icon start around $2,500 and go up to $5,000+. Full long-arm kits with new control arms typically range from $3,000 to $6,000+ installed. Every installation includes alignment. We offer financing through Snap and Acima with no-credit-check options. Call 913-291-2027 for an exact quote on your truck.
What size tires can I fit on my truck after a lift?
General guidelines for full-size trucks like the F-150, Silverado, and Ram 1500: a 2-inch level fits 33-inch tires, a 4-inch lift fits 33s to 35s, and a 6-inch lift fits 35s to 37s. Mid-size trucks like the Tacoma and Colorado: a 2-inch lift fits 32s to 33s, and a 3-inch lift fits 33s to 34s. Heavy-duty trucks (F-250, 2500HD) can often fit 35s with just a level due to their larger wheel wells. Exact fitment depends on wheel offset and fender trimming. We confirm tire clearance before every install.
Do I need new shocks when I install a lift kit on my truck?
In most cases, yes. When you lift a truck, the factory shocks are extended beyond their designed travel range. Most quality lift kits from Rough Country, BDS, and Fabtech include new shocks or shock extensions sized for the lift height. If you are installing a spacer lift of 2 inches or less, the factory shocks may still work, but we always inspect them and recommend replacement if they are at their limit. Upgrading to Fox 2.0 or Bilstein 5100 shocks during the lift is a popular and worthwhile upgrade.
How long does a truck lift kit installation take?
Spacer and leveling kit installations typically take 3 to 5 hours. Spring suspension lift kits take 6 to 8 hours depending on the truck and kit complexity. Coilover conversions and long-arm kits can take 1 to 2 full days. We always include alignment time in the estimate. Drop-offs are welcome — many customers leave their truck in the morning and pick it up by end of day or the following morning. Call ahead to schedule: 913-291-2027.
Will a lift kit void my truck's factory warranty?
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer cannot void your entire warranty because you installed a lift kit. They must prove the modification directly caused a specific failure. That said, we recommend quality kits from brands like BDS, ReadyLIFT, and Fabtech that carry their own manufacturer warranties. Professional installation with proper torque specs and alignment also strengthens your position if a warranty question ever comes up. We document every install so you have records if needed.

Open in Google Maps →"Brought my 2023 F-150 XLT in for a 4-inch Rough Country lift with new Bilstein 5100 shocks. The guys at American Fusion Wheels recommended 33-inch Nitto Ridge Grapplers on 20-inch Fuel Assaults for the best combination of looks and ride quality, and they were absolutely right. The truck sits perfectly level now, the tires fill the wheel wells, and the ride is actually smoother than stock thanks to the Bilsteins. They did the alignment before I left and everything tracks dead straight on I-35. The whole job was done in one day. I have already sent two of my buddies here for their trucks. Best truck lift shop in the KC area hands down."— Derek W. 2023 Ford F-150 XLT
