Suspension Lift Kits

Filter By:

Suspension lift kits are aftermarket upgrades designed to raise a vehicle’s ride height by modifying its suspension system. These kits include components like taller springs, longer shocks, control arms, and sometimes extended sway bars or brake lines, all of which work together to increase ground clearance. The main benefit of a suspension lift kit is the ability to navigate rougher terrain, whether it’s rocks, mud, or uneven roads, without damaging the undercarriage. It also allows for the installation of larger tires, further improving off-road performance.


Suspension lift kits come in different sizes, typically offering lifts ranging from 2 inches to 12 inches or more. The larger the lift, the greater the clearance and the more dramatic the change in appearance. While a suspension lift improves off-road capability and gives the vehicle a more commanding presence, it can also alter ride quality and handling, particularly on paved roads. For serious off-road enthusiasts or those looking to customize their truck or SUV, a suspension lift kit provides both functional and aesthetic upgrades.


Frequently Asked Questions

If you mainly want to take the nose-down rake out of your truck and make room for slightly larger tires, start with a leveling kit. If you want more ground clearance, a bigger tire upgrade, or to raise both ends of the vehicle, look at a suspension lift kit.

OmniGarage has a separate Suspension Leveling Kits category with more than 400 products, so you don't have to buy a full lift just to level the front of your truck.

Start with the tire size you want, then choose the lift—not the other way around. A 35-inch tire, for example, doesn't require the same lift on every truck.

Your vehicle, wheel width, wheel offset or backspacing, and how much trimming you're willing to do all affect clearance. One ReadyLIFT kit may clear a particular tire with no trimming while another vehicle needs a different wheel setup or additional clearance for that same tire size.

After selecting your vehicle on OmniGarage, use the Lift filter to narrow the choices, then check the manufacturer's wheel-and-tire recommendations on the kit you're considering.

Start with Select Your Vehicle on OmniGarage. Then pay attention to more than just year, make, and model.

Things like 2WD vs. 4WD, diesel vs. gas, factory air or electronic suspension, and packages such as Tremor, ZR2, AT4X, Rubicon, or Sasquatch can change which kit fits. For example, some ReadyLIFT and Zone applications specifically exclude certain factory suspension packages or drivetrains even though the basic truck model matches.

Maybe. Don't assume every lift kit is complete in the same way.

Some OG kits include shocks and upper control arms, while others are specifically sold without shocks. Certain vehicles may also need something extra, such as a carrier-bearing shim, alignment hardware, shock extensions, or another vehicle-specific part.

Check the kit's component list and installation notes before ordering. If the system calls for a separate lift component, OmniGarage also has a dedicated Suspension Lift Kit Components category.

Plan on getting the alignment checked after the lift is installed. Changing ride height changes suspension geometry, and manufacturers commonly call for a post-install alignment. ReadyLIFT specifically notes that alignment may be required after installation on its Bronco lift systems.

On some newer vehicles, there can be another step too. Depending on the vehicle and kit, headlight aim or driver-assistance cameras and sensors may need to be checked or recalibrated after the suspension height changes.

It can, but the lift height alone doesn't tell you how it will ride. The springs or spacers, shocks, suspension design, and especially the wheels and tires you choose all affect the result.

For example, ReadyLIFT notes that moving to heavier, stiffer-sidewall off-road tires can make a truck feel firmer even when the suspension kit itself is designed to maintain good road manners.

If the truck is your daily driver, pay attention to the shock package and the manufacturer's intended use, not just how many inches of lift you're getting.

Some mild bolt-on kits are DIY-friendly for an experienced home mechanic, but larger suspension lifts can be a serious job. Depending on the kit, installation can involve suspension disassembly, specialized tools, drivetrain or differential work, cutting or frame modifications, and an alignment afterward.

ReadyLIFT recommends professional installation for some applications, and Zone has full lift systems that require frame-bracket modification.

Before buying, open the installation instructions for the exact kit and make sure the work is within your tools and experience.
