Lift Kits & Suspension
IFS-specific lift kits from Icon, Bilstein, Fox, Old Man Emu, and Dobinsons. Upper control arm upgrades (SPC, Total Chaos) to correct ball joint angles at 2.5″+ of lift. We understand Toyota suspension geometry.
Wheels & Tires
285/70R17 (33″) is the most popular size for lifted 4Runners. 285/75R17 (34″) fits with minor trimming. We install Method, Fuel, KMC, and Toyota’s own TRD Pro wheels. BFG, Falken, Nitto, and Toyo tire options.
Bumpers & Armor
Front bumpers with bull bars and winch mounts from C4 Fabrication, CBI, Southern Style, and Dobinsons. Skid plates and rock sliders designed for the 4Runner and Tacoma frame.
Roof Racks & Storage
Prinsu, Front Runner, Victory 4×4, and Gobi roof racks. MOLLE panels, cargo slides, and drawer systems. The 4Runner’s cargo area is ideal for organized overlanding storage.
Lighting
LED headlight upgrades, light bars, ditch lights, and rock lights. Diode Dynamics SS3 ditch lights are one of the most popular 4Runner upgrades — we install hundreds of sets. Switch panels for clean auxiliary power.
Overland Builds
The 4Runner is one of the most popular overland platforms in the US. Rooftop tents, awnings, dual battery systems, water storage, and recovery gear. We build rigs for weekend adventures and cross-country trips.
4Runner Generations We Service
5th Gen (2010–2024)
The most commonly modified 4Runner. Huge aftermarket support. TRD Pro, TRD Off-Road, SR5, and Limited trims. IFS front / solid rear axle. Well-established lift kit options from every major brand.
6th Gen (2025+)
All-new platform with available hybrid powertrain. Independent rear suspension changes the modification landscape. We’re tracking the emerging aftermarket — early options from Icon and Bilstein are arriving now.
4th Gen (2003–2009)
The V8 4Runner (4.7L) is a cult favorite. Same IFS front suspension as the 5th gen. Bilstein 5100 and OME kits still available. We also service 4th gens with the 4.0L V6.
Frequently Asked Questions
What lift kit is best for a Toyota 4Runner?
For 5th gen 4Runners (2010-2024), a 3-inch lift with Bilstein 5100 or Icon Stage 2 shocks is the sweet spot — enough for 285/70R17 tires while keeping the ride quality Toyota is known for. Upper control arm upgrades are recommended at 2.5″+ of lift.
Can you lift a 4Runner without voiding the warranty?
A 2-3 inch lift with quality components typically doesn’t trigger warranty claims for unrelated systems. We recommend checking with your dealer before any modification. We install kits that maintain proper geometry to minimize risk.
Do you work on Toyota Tacomas too?
Yes. The 4Runner and Tacoma share the same platform, so many suspension, wheel, and accessory components overlap. We build Tacomas for trail use, overlanding, and daily-driver upgrades.
