2.5 Inch Lift Kit | Nissan Frontier (05-26)/Xterra (05-15) 2WD/4WD

Lifted Stance. Proven Performance. Unbeatable Value: Gain aggressive ride height and level out your truck with Rough Country's 2.5-inch Lift Kit for 2005 and newer Nissan Frontier and Xterra models. Designed to eliminate factory rake while improving ground clearance, this kit delivers a bold, trail-ready stance without sacrificing ride quality or breaking the bank. Ultra-Easy Bolt-On Installation: This kit is engineered for a straightforward, no-hassle install. The front lift is achieved using precision aluminum strut spacers that mount directly to the top of the factory struts with no strut disassembly or compressor required. This makes installation faster, safer, and more shop-friendly while maintaining factory geometry. Front spacer options are available in a standard aluminum finish or anodized red for added under-hood style. Multiple Shock and Strut Options Available: Choose the setup that best fits your driving style. Opt for spacer-only front lift with factory struts, upgrade to Rough Country N3 struts and rear shocks for balanced on and off-road performance, or step up to M1 monotube struts and rear shocks for maximum ride control, responsiveness, and durability. Heavy-Duty Rear Lift with Factory Ride Feel: Included rear lift shackles are constructed from 3/8-inch thick plate steel and designed to deliver lift while preserving factory ride quality. These shackles help reduce driveline vibrations and provide consistent rear lift, all while adding serious strength where it matters most. A durable powder coat finish ensures long-term protection against the elements. Strength Where Others Fall Short: Unlike cheaper alternatives, this shackle system includes DOM tubed bolt sleeves paired with Grade 8 hardware. This design delivers superior load distribution and unmatched durability, eliminating the risk of sleeve collapse or bolt failure under hard use. Whether on the trail or on the road, you can drive with confidence knowing this kit is built to last.
