Built for Nissan Frontier 4WD owners who want a level stance and aggressive ground clearance without factory rake, this 2.5-inch leveling kit pairs precision-engineered M1 monotube struts with heavy-duty rear shackles to deliver a bold, balanced look. You'll clear up to 33.5" tires while maintaining factory geometry and ride quality — all with a straightforward bolt-on install that takes a day or less.

Installed and serviced at Road Runner Wheels & Tires. Most leveling kits go in the same day. Call (678) 400-6467 to schedule.

What's included

  • M1 Loaded Strut Pair — nitrogen-charged monotube front struts deliver responsive damping and superior ride control for both on-road comfort and off-road performance.
  • Rear M1 Shock — monotube construction pairs with the front struts for balanced suspension geometry and consistent handling across the vehicle.
  • Lift Shackles (Rear, 1.5") — forged from 3/8-inch plate steel with DOM tubed bolt sleeves and Grade 8 hardware to eliminate driveline vibration while preserving factory ride feel.

Important notes

  • This kit does NOT work on international models.
  • M1 lifted strut options are available for Frontier models only; due to coil-spring variance, they fit 4WD models only.
  • Does NOT fit models equipped with the Desert Runner Package (off-road package vehicles).
  • Front strut spacers use factory mounting points with no cutting, drilling, or strut disassembly required.

Why customers pick this at Road Runner

  • True bolt-on install using factory mounting points — no compressor, no strut teardown, no headaches.
  • M1 monotube struts deliver sharper response and durability compared to standard shocks, backed by Rough Country's lifetime warranty.
  • Heavy-duty rear shackles with DOM sleeves and Grade 8 fasteners eliminate the risk of bolt failure or sleeve collapse under trail use.
  • Factory geometry is preserved — caster and camber angles stay correct, so alignment is minimal after install.
  • Professionally installed by our techs who perform these kits on Frontiers every week, with in-house alignment included.
