If you’ve heard people talk about lift kits for trucks—or seen vehicles that have been modified by one—it’s natural to want more information to see if this would make sense for your vehicle. To help, you can refer to part one of our truck lift kit Q&A series where we answer these questions:
Plus, keep reading this post where we’ll discuss the cost for truck lift kits—and then share how you can benefit after you’ve installed yours.
Specifically, we’re referring to suspension lift kits. For more information about body versus suspension lift kits, please see the first post in this mini-series. Now, onto more Q&A!
Like with just about any product, there can be a range of prices, including bargain-basement versions. In this post, we’ll focus on quality lift kits for trucks from Enthuze that deliver on what they promise. Note that Enthuze manufactures the kits with the products offered by dealers who have some flexibility in their pricing structures, so what follows is general guidance.
First, note that these kits are make/model/year specific. So, for example, you’ll find them with these kinds of specifications:
Each of these vehicle-specific kits will come with a different price point. Plus, lift kits for trucks come in varied sizes, including these, with prices generally increasing as the sizes do:
To get more precise pricing, then, you’ll need to look for a kit that’s been created for your vehicle type with the appropriate amount of lift for your wants and needs. For context, on each of the following sections of this post, we’ll give pricing examples.
A 3 inch lift kit for 2019-2021 Ram 1500 4WD vehicles, for example, has a manufacturer’s price of $899.99. This all-inclusive kit contains high-quality fabricated upper control arms designed to provide OEM geometry. The kit also contains MOOG bushings and ball joints, front strut spacers, and a preload ring and coil spacer.
For purposes of comparison, the 2020-2021 Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500 3 inch lift kit for 4WD vehicles costs $829.99. This kit has a solid tubular steel rod, forge torsion bar keys, quality gussets, and more.
If you’ve got a 2012-2021 Ram 1500 Classic, 4WD, then this 4 inch lift kit optimizes your ride with a replacement knuckle system that comes with laser-cut bracketry and a thick belly pan to protect your vehicle’s vitals. The cost is $1,899.99.
If you’ve got a 2015-2020 Ford F150, 4WD, and want a 6 inch lift kit, the cost is $1,699.99, and this kit allows you to enjoy maximum ride quality. The suspension lift kit contains all the parts you need to transform your F150 into one with stock car performance through a strong, durable design, plus it has bonus features that you won’t find in others.
After the kit is installed, it’s time to enjoy the benefits. Whether you go off-roading or rough roading, you’ll have more clearance from the ground because of the bigger tires and you’ll be able to handle the ride more easily, safely, and smoothly with your enhanced suspension. When you’re in congested areas, you can also benefit—this time by having improved visibility with the ability to see further ahead.
When you’re towing, your truck has room to squat. When you want to examine the undercarriage of your vehicle, perhaps for repairs, you’ve got more room.
Hopefully, the information provided in the two Q&A posts about truck lift kits will answer many of your questions. If you still have more, no problem! The best dealers carry our products and we invite you to contact the one most conveniently located by you to get the information you need.
