While some truck owners like to keep their vehicles fully stock, that is not for everyone. This is why owners of the Nissan Frontier may be in search of a lift kit for their mid-size truck. A lift kit can help to improve styling, off-road ability, and other things, plus a lift give a truck a more commanding road presence. Some manufacturers offer a lift from the factory, while others do not. With the 2022 Nissan Frontier, an off-road version is available in the form of the PRO-4X, but this model does not have an aggressive lift kit from Nissan. So, buyers may be interested in an aftermarket lift for added capability.

Yes, you can lift your Nissan Frontier. There are a number of different aftermarket companies that provide specialized lift kits for the Frontier. The price of these kits will vary depending on your needs and what level of quality you are looking for. But in general, when it comes to your truck, you should be wary of going with the cheapest option as it may affect the reliability of your vehicle. 

There is a variety of lift kits offered for trucks. These include a body lift, suspension lift, or a leveling kit, which you choose really depends on your specific needs. 

Why lift a truck?

There are multiple reasons to lift a truck, some just prefer the visual look of a lifted truck, while others need their mid-size truck to be able to handle off-road terrain. When you equip your Nissan Frontier with a lift kit, you will be able to enjoy added ground clearance. Which will increase the overall capability of your vehicle. 

Better yet, with a proper lift, truck owners can install larger tires on their vehicle. While the Nissan Frontier does have the ability to come equipped with available all-terrain tires, they may not be big enough to fit some preferences.

If you are interested in a more aggressive look or want a mid-size truck that can go off-road, lifting the Frontier may be the right call. Depending on the quality and type of lift, it is possible to lift a truck without negatively impacting ride quality. 

For those who don’t plan on off-roading their truck often or doing some rock crawling, it is likely that a leveling kit is more practical than a lift kit. A leveling kit can aid with winching and be an overall styling improvement. And that is something that some Frontier owners may appreciate.

According to J.D. Power, the cost of lifting a truck may vary. If you intend to lift a truck yourself, it can cost as low as $400. But getting a lift installed at a shop can go far north of that at over $2,000. 

Obviously having a lift kit installed at a shop may lead to better results, but there is something fun and satisfying about wrenching on your own truck. And because the Nissan Frontier can have a lift kit installed, that is something that you can experience on your own.
