Description

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. Fitment Notes: Due to suspension differences this kit does NOT work on international models. Lifted strut options are ONLY available for Frontier models. Due to variances in coil spring rating, the lifted strut option fits 4WD models ONLY. Does NOT fit models equipped with a Desert Runner Package, as they are equipped with an off-road package.

    • Nice lift
Set name: 2.5" Lift Kit w/Red Spacers
Review Image by mlatc3 mlatc3
Fit my 24 frontier. Took no time to put on. Gives a nice lift and level. Looks much better than stock. I’ve done several of these lifts and RC is the best quality of parts. Definitely recommend. You can fit 285 after the lift.

    • Looks great
Set name: 2.5" Lift Kit w/Red Spacers
Really nice kit. Had a buddy giving me a hand and we got it installed in 2.5hrs. If you are looking to install solo the rear is going to be a challenge, you really need an extra set of hands to pull down the leaf springs while you line up the bolts. The front is pretty straight forward and can be done solo but you are going to want to remove both front tires because you'll need to get the sway bar out of the way. When doing the rear, you can leave the tires on and I recommend jacking up the truck from the rear tow hitch, that takes the pressure off the springs and makes it easier to get them in place. I haven't gotten it to the shop for an alignment yet but it is absolutely mandatory because the camber will be way off. I'm hoping it's not going to need new cam bolts but I'll update this review if it is necessary. All dogs makes a kit for it if needed. ... show more

    • I LIKE IT
Set name: 2.5" Lift Kit w/Red Spacers
Well, I needed this to fit a set of 265/70/17 K0'2, of course I had to use a wheel adapters, it wasn't that easy, if you have power tool or heavy breaker bars and a bunch of different wrenches and sockets, is doable, and also depends on the model year If your Frontier like in my case is 15 years all, be prepared for a long day. All of these being said, the truck looks nice, has a nice stand, but, this kit should include the cam bolts for LCA to be able to get rid off the positive camber, my 2008 includes the camber bolts from factory but Nissan got rid of them on later models. If you are reusing the OEM tires, it works nice, just make sure the truck gets aligned after installation. Good luck with this project ... show more

After watching the RC installation video, the install had no real surprises and was fairly easy and straightforward for me who is an avid “Gearhead”. On my ‘08 Xterra 4WD, the hardest part on the front was after installing the RC Spacer on top of my strut, to reinsert it I did have to pop the upper ball joint loose to get adequate clearance, it came out with only the Sway Bar dropped. On the rear I had to loosen the rearmost 3 muffler hanger brackets to get the right rear Shackle out after gently moving the tailpipe over and up a little. To pull the rear end of the spring downwards to install the new longer shackle lower bolt, I used a large Pipe Wrench on the spring Eye at the rear end of the spring inside the shackle for added leverage. I had spent much additional time cleaning and painting the underside of my trucks suspension so the project took me several hours for the install, but the Lift Kit alone would have been about 2 hours front and 1.5 hrs rear taking my sweet time. With just the front spacers installed, the truck sat level (no rake) if not slightly higher in the front. After the rear was install, I had about the same Rake as stock, only 2.5” higher. I am very happy with the install and the results as my trucks ride has not changed as the stock spring are still used, only shimmed up a bit. Now I just need to slightly up my tire size to about 32” and I’m all set! Thank’s Rough Country for a nice & simple modest Lift Kit! ... show more

Set name: 2.5" Lift Kit w/Silver Spacers
Review Image by David David
I didn’t believe other reviewers who said this “completely changed the look of their truck,” but I was astounded at how much it really did. Just this lift alone allowed me to fit 32.6” (33’s) tires with pretty minimal rubbing without melting or cutting AND minimal coil bucket contact on stock UCA’s. i will likely purchase the UCA’s anyways since i do get some CBC when going over speed bumps too fast. But if you don’t off-road you don’t have anything to worry about. I’ve attached some post-lift photos to give you an idea of what you’ll get after lifting. You will need to a ball joint separator to disconnect the knuckle from the UCA. Thought i could finagle it in but you can’t, so plan to get that tool. ... show more

Love the stance of my 2016 Desert Runner now. Installation was a breeze, took my buddy and I approximately 1.5 hours. Rear end took about 30 minutes and the front closer to an hour. Installation instructions are very well written. The ride has not changed and have not felt any coil bucket contact as of yet even while taking it light off roading. I did however buy a couple of thin bump stops. Do plan on buying camber bolts as they could not get my truck alignment within specs without them. ... show more
