Suspension Lifts, Coilovers & Shocks for Toyota
Upgrade your Toyota's suspension with premium lift kits, coilovers, and performance shocks from brands like Fox Racing, Icon Vehicle Dynamics, King Shocks, Bilstein, and Old Man Emu. We carry complete suspension systems and individual components for Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, and FJ Cruiser.
A proper suspension upgrade is the foundation of any off-road build. It increases ground clearance, allows for larger tires, improves articulation on uneven terrain, and can dramatically improve both on-road ride quality and off-road performance. From budget-friendly spacer lifts to full long-travel coilover systems, we have options for every build level and budget.
Types of Suspension Upgrades
- Spacer/leveling kits: Most affordable option, adds 1-2.5" of lift using spacers on top of your factory struts
- Coilover systems: Adjustable ride height and damping — the gold standard for off-road performance
- Complete lift kits: Include all components for a full suspension overhaul — coilovers, rear shocks, springs, UCA, and hardware

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between coilovers and a spacer lift?
A spacer lift uses a metal or polyurethane spacer on top of your stock struts to add lift height. It is affordable but does not improve suspension performance. Coilovers replace the entire strut assembly with adjustable, high-performance shocks and springs, offering better ride quality, adjustable height, and superior off-road performance.
How much lift do I need for off-roading?
For most Toyota owners, a 2-3 inch lift is the sweet spot. It provides enough clearance for 33-inch tires and improved approach angles without dramatically affecting your center of gravity or on-road handling. Lifts over 3 inches may require additional modifications like extended brake lines and driveshaft adjustments.
Do I need an alignment after installing a lift kit?
Yes, absolutely. Any lift installation changes your suspension geometry and requires a professional alignment afterward. We also recommend inspecting and potentially upgrading your upper control arms (UCAs) with lifts over 2 inches to maintain proper ball joint angles.
Are coilovers worth the investment?
If you drive off-road regularly, coilovers are one of the best investments you can make. They offer adjustable ride height, improved damping performance, and significantly better off-road capability compared to spacer lifts. Premium coilovers from Fox, Icon, or King can last 100,000+ miles with proper maintenance.
