A mild lift, done right
An SST kit gives the vehicle more height at both ends and room for a larger tire package, while the parts stay matched to its factory suspension. It is the step between a simple leveling kit and a full big lift.

Ready for daily duty
A lifted stance with bigger tires still has to commute, tow and haul. SST kits keep a small rear rake so the vehicle sits right with weight in the bed or on the hitch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
How is an SST kit different from a leveling kit?
A leveling kit raises only the front to cancel the factory rake. An SST kit lifts the front and the rear, so the whole vehicle gains height.
What is the largest tire it clears?
The tire size ReadyLIFT lists for this exact vehicle is in the specifications on this page. Tire dimensions vary by brand, so test fit your wheel and tire combination before mounting.
Will I need an alignment after installing it?
Yes, plan on one. ReadyLIFT notes the vehicle may need an alignment after installation, and headlamp aim should be checked at the same visit.
Does it affect driver-assistance cameras and radar?
Changing ride height can shift camera, radar and sonar aim. ReadyLIFT says to check and recalibrate these systems after installation, and some vehicles need dealer tools to do it.
Can I install it myself?
ReadyLIFT recommends a certified mechanic and says to read the instructions fully before starting. The install sheet and ReadyLIFT's estimated install time for this exact kit are on this page.
Is an SST kit covered for off-road use?
ReadyLIFT's warranty excludes damage from off-road abuse on its lift kits. Its Jeep SST and Terrain Flex kits are the exception and remain covered in recreational off-road use.

very good leveling kit and fairly easy to install
I bought this kit about 3 weeks ago and installed it in my driveway in about 5 1/2 hours with all hand tools

Solid kit
Solid kit. Did exactly what it was intended to do. I do have a pro4x and it does set a little higher in the front now (not level). The install was fairly easy EXCEPT for getting out the cam bolts. 2 out of the 4 of mine were siezed inside the lower control arm and I had to replace that control arm unfortunately. So a little advice, start spraying your cam bolts a couple days in advance with pb blaster in hopes of being able to get those cam bolts out. I was about to fit 285/75r16 (33s) tires on after removing some of the mud flaps on the front that you don't really need anyways. I still rub very slightly on heavy turning but I think after I get a heat gun on more plastic in the wheel well I will be fine. I took the truck on some moderate trails after the leveling kit and tires were put on and I was extremely satisfied. I tried new obstacles that I didn't even think about attempting last

Perfect for the money!
The Suzuki Equator Crew Cab Sport 4x4 comes stock looking like a 2wd truck. I wanted the truck to have a little more aggressive look to it. So this lift worked perfect it raised it just enough and for the money you can't ask for anything else... I had a friend of mine a mechanic to put it on. You def need the right tools to tackle this job...

Good for the price
Only negative is that you get coil bucket contact unless you upgrade your upper control arms. Overall though excellent lift kit, highly recommend.

Good leveling kit 2016 nissan Frontier SV 2wd
Purchased leveling kit for my 16 Frontier. Came as advertised with front strut extenders, cam bolts, bump stops & rear shackles. Installation was a breeze and turned out great. Alignment done but overall very little adjustments needed.

easy to install
Just finished installing this kit on a 2019 Nissan frontier. My buddy and I did it in about 4 hours including a break for pizza. Some notes: -Make sure you have jacks and Jack stands that will be tall enough to support the vehicle if you dont have access to a lift. - the kit is metric but you can get by with standard. they chose sizes that are very comparable to each other. -a good hammer or air hammer will help getting the upper control arm bolt out speaking of upper control arm. save yourself some time and pick up an adjustable upper control arm. The camber will be out by just enough to be annoying even at max adjustment without one.

Seems like a good kit
Seems to be a really good kit for the $$. The directions, while very clear I'd say, could benefit from a few notes as far as a suggested tool list to cut down on those middle of project, front end disassembled, oh crap I need a ride to the hardware store to get ....tool delays. Other than that, it was straightforward, and their tech support was excellent on the phone. Only complaint was having to file out 8 washers that didn't fit the bolts they come with.

Gives the Frontier the 4X4 look it should have!
Pretty easy to install. Seems to be well-built. Gives my truck a true 4x4 look that it was missing from the factory. You will need an alignment after the install. The kit comes with the new camber bolts, so no worries there.

The kit gave me what i wanted. My truck is now sitting higher and looks good. The kit is easy to install, but the instructions are not detailed so if you dont have some knowledge about truck suspentions have someone help. The lift dose chane the tow so get an alignment soon after you lift your truck or you will distroy your tires.
