Kit Details: Metal Tech's first kit is basically an Icon Stage 1 Lift Kit, but it also includes Metal Tech's own offset lower links. The rear 2" coil-springs arealso slightly firmer to increase handling and support more gear or equipment. The Icon FJ 2.5" Remote Reservoir rear shocks are designed specifically to work with Metal Tech Progressive Rate Springs. These are Vehicle Specific Remote Reservoir shocks that are valved and sized for optimal performance with ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension systems. And as for the rear long travel kit, Metal Tech has combined their long travel rear suspension system for the FJ Cruiser paired with Icon 2.0 shocks, Icon extended travel coilovers, and Metal Tech's newest offering offset lower links. This system allows over 11" of suspension travel in the rear and 9" in the front. With Metal Tech's offset lower links, rear axle bind is completely eliminated which allows for full travel of the axle, allowing all the tires to be on the ground more often while off-road. They also have available a Stage 2 rear long travel suspension kit.
Metal Tech also now offers Radflo suspension kits in 6 stages similar to Icon lift kits. The stage one lift kit includes front adjustable coilovers and rear shocks (available in 2.0" or 2.5") and then with 2.0" rear spring. The stage 2 kit includes everything in the stage 1 kit but with either Light Racing upper control arms or Total Choas UCAs. The stage 3 kit includes everything above (Total Choas UCAs are used however, not Light Racing) along with Metal Tech's Offset Rear Lower Links. The stage 4 kit's only difference from the stage 3 is it replaces the regular front coilovers with 2.5" Extended Travel Remote Reservoir Coilovers. The stage 5 kit, as usual, is the same as the stage 4 except the rear shocks are replaced with 2.5" Remote Reservoir Rear Shocks w/ IFP. And then finally, the Stage 6 lift kit is the same as the Stage 5 kit except with Metal Tech's rear upper links.
Notes: Recommended tire size is 285/75R16, with a 16x8 wheel with 5" backspacing. Individual components such as extended brake lines, the long travel coil-springs, and rear bump stop drop can be bought from Metal Tech as well.
Other options: Metal Tech also offers kits and components from Icon Vehicle Dynamics, Sway Away, Old Man Emu, Radflo, and Ironman 4x4.
Kit Details: Tuff Country's 3" FJ Cruiser lift kit includes upper coil/strut spring spacers, front pre load spacers, rear coil spring spacers and hardware. Allows for 295/70 tire.

Camburg
Type: Coilover sets and long travel kits
KIT: Camburg Long Travel Kit or Uniball Upper Arms
Details: Long travel system will yield up to 15″ travel on a 2×4 and 14″ on a 4×4, and must use with fiberglass front fenders. Long travel works with 2" - 4" lift, can fit a 33" - 35" tire, and it adds 3.5" per side of track width. For the uniball upper arm kit, you must use wheels with a maximum backspacing of 4.5" when running larger than stock size tire. The Camburg coilovers are adjustable to get a lift from 0"-3".
Disclaimer: Long travel set-ups typically cost almost double the cost of the kit once all extra components (coil overs, axles, etc.) are purchased and fabrication (bump kits, etc.) completed. Installation will also add to the cost which could easily be an additional $500-1500 depending on work completed, gusseting, and replacement of parts as found worn.

Kit Details: Solid CNC machined 6061-T6 Aluminum Spacers with pre-installed Grade 10.9 Metric studs, and flanged nuts with 14mm head like the factory to ensure that there will be no problems down the road. High grade Rear Polyurethane spacers Designed to provide a 1.5" lift from stock. Includes a differential drop to keep the Constant Velocity Joint boots from tearing, and to keep the CV Joints from premature wear from the increased angle. Applications include: 2003-2012 Toyota 4Runner, 2007-2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser.
Notes: Allows for up to a 33" tire with the factory wheels. This will not work on 03-09 4Runners Equipped with XREAS type suspension. This WILL work on 2010-2012 4Runners equipped with KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System).
Kit Details: Ironman 4x4 recognizes that there is no single solution practical for the varying needs of 4x4 owners and different driving conditions; therefore, Ironman 4x4 offers a wide selection of matched components. Nitro Gas Soft Ride shock absorbers are best used where comfort is preferred rather than firm control. The softer valving is best suited to light or no load applications. The Foam Cell shock absorbers provide a similar feel to the Nitro Gas shock absorbers, but these shock absorbers feature a larger piston and bore size to allow for more oil capacity which allows the shock absorber to operate cooler in rough offroad conditions or long haul corrugations.
Notes: Metal Tech offers this kit with the Light Racing Upper Control Arms to further increase performance.
Details: Front coilovers come pre-assembled and adjusted to approximately 2" of lift, but can be easily adjusted to 3.5" of suspension lift with the included spanner wrench. They feature industry leading 3/4" heims, zinc coated bodies, nitrided steel shafts, and billet upper mounts. Available with or without remote reservoir. The 2.5 rear shocks completely re-buildable and re-valvable. They have optional remote reservoirs available for installation on trucks that will see a lot of high speed running, as the reservoirs increase fluid capacity and dissipate heat even better.
Notes: Resivores must now mount vertically to accomodate 2012+ FJ Cruisers.
Details: FOX offers multiple shock and coil-over options for FJ Cruisers of all years. You can purchase their suspension specific for 07-09 models and 10-12 models. They offer both factory and performance style coil-overs and shocks. The bodies of the factory style 2.5 coil-overs (which have a remote reservoir option) are a smooth-bore, clear coated, zinc plated, and honed seamless alloy with components made from black anodized billet aluminum with a shaft built from 7/8" hard chrome plated heat treated alloy steel. And then the performance series 2.0 coil-overs which do not have a reservoir option, are made from the same materials as the factory series coil-overs, but it has an aluminum shock body which dissipates heat three times faster than steel. All the coil-over options from FOX are adjustable from 1" of height to 3.5", making this a good option for both stock and lifted applications. FOX also offers multiple options for the rear suspension of FJ Cruisers. As with the front suspension options, there are performance and factory series shocks. The factory series 2.0 shocks have a remote reservoir that is non adjustable and offers 0" - 1" of lift. Then the performance series. Then there is the 2.0 performance series ITP shocks which do not have a reservoir, but come in 0" - 1" lift versions for stock setups and 2" - 3" versions for lifted applications.
Details: This kit basically takes parts from different manufacturers and companies and puts them all together to create their lift kit. All four shocks are Bilstein 5100 series designed for FJ Cruisers which they have further modified to hold the TRD coils they have paired up for the "ultimate combo." Front coil-over's are adjustable from 1/2" - 3.75" of lift. The rear springs are replaced with a custom made set matched to the rear shocks. The adjustable Trac Bar with free movement bushing ends unlocks the FJ Cruiser's real potential in the rear end and re-centers the axle under the truck after lifting. Overall lift is up to 3.75" for the front supporting a bumper/winch/skids and 2" in the rear. Constructed from 100% DOM Tube and very heavy duty. Sonoran Steel also offers Radflo 2.0 and 2.5 suspension kits that include the front adjustable coil-overs (with or without reservoirs), Radflo custom wound 2" lift rear coils, rear Radflo shocks (again with our without reservoirs), And Sonoran Steel's built adjustable Trac/PanHard/Lateral Bar.

(2)-Toyota TRD Progressive Front Coils
(2)-Sonoran Steel Custom Upper Top Plate Coil Retainers, Polyurethane

Details: Warrior Products web site says that its kits are built to stringent standards for strength, performance and durability. Two of the three systems offered by Warrior Products come with H60.5mm shocks, featuring a nine-stage valve system, and a self-lubricating polished chrome piston. These kits utilize spring spacers to lift the vehicle 3″ in the front and 2″ in the rear. Each kit comes with the necessary hardware required for installation. The first system offered (the Stage I Lift Kit) simply has only the front and rear spacers. The second system (the Stage I Lift Kit w/ Shocks) has the same hardware as the first system, but with the rear shocks included. And then the third system available (the Stage II Lift Kit w/ Shocks) has the same hardware as the second system, but with a differential drop, so reduce ware on the CV boots and other suspension/steering components.

Re: The NEW Complete Lift Listing and Comparison, they're all here! UPDATED!
All of those top plate bolt on spacer lifts should have a disclaimer next to them, stating "this product lengthens your front shock beyond the reach of the front bump stop, blown out front shocks will occur with common off road use, shock stems may fail in extreme situations, upper control arm ball joints will contact springs in extreme situations. Torn CV boots or broken CV joints may occur if used in conjunction with after market front upper control arms."
__________________
Lifting does not remove the body mount from the path the tire takes up and down in the wheel well. Lifting does not move that path around the body mount. Lifting only sets the starting point of that path partially below the body mount giving the illusion of clearance. Only alignment and/or body mount chop can increase tire clearance between the body mount and tire.
Re: The NEW Complete Lift Listing and Comparison, they're all here! UPDATED!
To those who read this thread,
If there are any lifts out there that I forgot or that you would like me to add, I would be more than happy to make revisions to the list. And if there is incorrect information or just info that you think i should add, feel free to let me know. Already LT. the Metal Tech supporting vendor and site sponsor messaged me requesting that I add their rear long travel kit so I made sure to make a nice, big section for Metal Tech since even though there were links to their site for where you can buy certain lifts, I completely forgot about them as a vendor who sold their own kits!
So if any other vendors out there want anything added, PM me and I'll be right on it.
Hope you enjoy the thread and that the information is helpful!!!

I have already done my suspension but want to tell you thanks for all the work you went through to put this together. That was a lot of work but you really helped anybody thinking about an upgrade. Great effort and the results are there.
