Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser & Lexus GX Upgrades in Nashville
Lifts, UCAs, coilovers, armor, lighting, wheels/tires, and regears—set up for Middle Tennessee daily driving, towing, and trails.
Tacoma Lift Kits & Suspension
From 2–3" daily-driver lifts to long-travel coilover systems, we match springs, shocks, and UCAs to your tire size, payload, and use case.
Coilovers & UCAs
2.0–2.5 coilovers with appropriate upper control arms recover caster and improve ball-joint angle. Expect better ride control and alignment range with 33–35" tires.
Leaf Packs & Add-a-Leaf
Choose full packs for constant load (racks, campers, tools) or add-a-leaf for mild lift on a light truck. We tune rear height for stance, towing, and payload.
Alignment Targets
Post-lift goals: caster ~3.5–4.5°, a touch of toe-in, and centered steering wheel. We verify bump-steer minimization and torque all hardware; free 500-mile recheck included.
4Runner & Lexus GX Suspension
If you own a 4Runner or GX, you’ve probably heard people talk about KDSS and how lifts can mess with it. The truth is, you can lift these rigs safely — you just need the right parts and setup. That’s where we come in.
KDSS-Friendly Lifts
We make sure shocks, springs, and lines all stay in the safe zone so KDSS keeps doing its job. You’ll get extra clearance without losing stability.
Getting Alignment Right
After a lift, factory arms usually won’t cut it. We use upgraded upper control arms to get caster back where it belongs, so your truck drives straight and feels stable.
GX-Specific Notes
GX models with factory AHC can be converted to springs or coilovers if you want more travel or plan to add weight. We’ll match the setup to how you actually use it.
Body Mount Chop & Relocation
Bigger tires often rub on the factory body mount behind the front wheels. Our body mount chop and relocation service solves this problem with clean cuts, reinforced welds, and protected finishes — giving you the clearance you need for 35"+ tires without sacrificing strength or safety.
Other Toyota Models We Support
While most of our work is Tacoma, 4Runner, and Lexus GX, we also build and service FJ Cruisers and older Toyota platforms. If it’s a Toyota 4x4, we can help.
Toyota Regearing (Tacoma, 4Runner, GX)
Restore power and shift points after bigger tires. As Middle Tennessee’s only Yukon Gear & Axle Master Installer, we set patterns, backlash, and preload to spec—then verify on road.
| Platform | Tire Size | Common Ratios | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tacoma (3.5L, 6AT/6MT) | 33–35" | 4.88–5.29 | Choose based on transmission & highway RPM; towing leans higher. |
| 4Runner (5-spd auto) | 33–35" | 4.88–5.29 | Improves overdrive use and hill performance with armor/roof load. |
| Lexus GX (6/8-spd) | 33–35" | 4.88–5.29 | Match to tire weight and highway use; AHC delete may change load. |
Tacoma, 4Runner, or GX — we’ll help you choose the right ratio for your build, driving style, and tire size.

Toyota Specific Brands We Trust at Music City 4x4

Toyota FAQ — Tacoma, 4Runner, FJ & GX
Often yes—UCAs recover caster and improve ball-joint angle, which helps tracking and tire wear, especially with 33–35 inch tires.
KDSS works fine with the right parts and bump-stop spacing. We keep droop and line lengths within safe ranges.
Not always. We evaluate CV angles and travel; many 2–2.5" kits don’t require it with proper shock/spring choice.
Typically 4.88–5.29 depending on trans, tire size/weight, intended use, and highway RPM preference. We’ll confirm for your build.
No—thanks to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, your dealer can’t void your entire warranty just because you installed aftermarket parts. They must prove the modification directly caused the failure.
Example: If you install LED fog lights and later have a transmission issue, the dealer can’t deny coverage. But if you regear improperly and the diff fails, that repair may not be covered. Bottom line: quality installs matter.
