Toyota 4Runner Lift Kit Installation in Tempe, AZ

Underdog Motorsports
At Underdog Motorsports, we specialize in professional Toyota 4Runner lift kit installation in Tempe, Arizona. Our focus is building 4Runner that drive correctly on the street and perform confidently off-road — using proper suspension components, not spacer or collar lifts.
Every 4Runner we work on is inspected in-house and set up based on how it’s actually used, whether that’s daily driving, overlanding, towing, or trail use.
4Runner Lift Installation — Done Right the First Time
Lifting a 4Runner isn’t just about height. It’s about:
-
Ride quality
-
Suspension geometry
-
Alignment and tire wear
-
Supporting added weight (bumpers, winches, gear)
-

At Underdog Motorsports, we design 4Runner lift setups that solve common issues like harsh ride, nose dive, and tire rubbing — not just make the truck taller.
4Runner Lift Options We Install at Underdog Motorsports
We regularly install:
-
2”–2.5” 4Runner suspension lifts
-
3” lift kits with upgraded springs and shocks
-
Lift setups for steel bumpers and winches
-
Overland-focused rear suspension for added cargo weight
-
Lift kits paired with upper control arms when required
-

We’ll explain why a certain setup makes sense for your 4Runner— and what you don’t need.
Will My 4Runner Rub After a Lift?
This is one of the most common 4Runner questions we get in Tempe.
Rubbing depends on:
-
Tire size
-
Wheel offset
-
Lift height
-
Alignment settings
-
Suspension travel
Many 4Runner builds running larger tires benefit from a body mount chop (BMC) or minor trimming. We perform these services in-house and only recommend them when necessary.
