9286500A Nissan Frontier 2wd/4wd 2.5" Suspension Kit Thank you for choosing Rough Country for all your suspension needs. Rough Country recommends a certified technician install this system. In addition to these instructions, professional knowledge of disassemble/reassembly procedures as well as post installation checks must be known. Attempts to install this system without this knowledge and expertise may jeopardize the integrity and/or operating safety of the vehicle. Please read instructions before beginning installation. Check the kit hardware against the parts list on the last page. Be sure you have all needed parts and know where they go. Also please review tools needed list and make sure you have needed tools. PRODUCT USE INFORMATION As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is, the easier it will roll. We strongly recommend, because of rollover possibility, that the vehicle be equipped with a functional roll-bar and cage system. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses should be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur. Generally, braking performance and capability are decreased when larger/heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving. Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or after-market parts to increase vehicle height over the intended height of the Rough Country product purchased. Mixing component brands is not recommended. Rough Country makes no claims regarding lifting devices and excludes any and all implied claims. We will not be responsible for any product that is altered. If question exist we will be happy to answer any questions concerning the design, function, and correct use of our products. The lift was designed as a leveling kit. It provides 2.5" of lift to the front of the vehicle, if you want to lift the rear of your Frontier contact your nearest Rough Country distributor. The largest recommended tire size when using this kit is a 285/75R 16 on stock wheels. If wider tires are desired or wheels with something other than factory offset please consult a tire and wheel expert to confirm fit.
