I could be mistaken, but I believe a 1" body lift on an FJ, is a simple as lifting the body, adding the new spacers and bolts, and then adding a steering column spacer. Everything else should be fine. Dirt does bring up some good points though. Personally, I don't like body lifts because of the added stress on the bolts. Granted a 1" isn't that big of a deal, but I've heard stories of jeeps/trucks with 3" body lifts getting into wrecks and the body rips clear off the frame.

I would say go for it. The con's of a 1" body lift to me don't out weigh the pros. Don't be doing some crazy off kilter driving because of your center of gravity. You should be golden.
