Skyjacker Lift Kits, Shocks & Off-Road Suspension

What This Collection Covers

Skyjacker builds off-road suspension systems for trucks and Jeeps that need more ground clearance, better ride control, improved steering stability, and stronger trail capability. Skyjacker is best known for lift kits, leveling kits, and long travel coil springs.

Product Categories

Lift kits and component boxes, leveling kits and strut spacers, dual rate and long travel coil springs, Black Max, Nitro 8000, Hydro 7000, and ADX M2.0 shocks, steering stabilizers, upper control arms, sway bar links, brake hoses, pitman arms, and track bar brackets.

Lift Kits vs Leveling Kits

Lift kits provide a larger, more significant increase in ride height and are the right choice for serious off-road builds and larger tire fitment. Leveling kits and strut spacers correct front-end rake on trucks with a factory nose-down stance and are the right choice for drivers who want a mild, affordable stance correction.

Skyjacker for Jeep Platforms

Jeep coverage includes Jeep Wrangler JK and JL, Jeep Gladiator JT, Jeep Cherokee XJ, Jeep Liberty KJ, and classic Jeep CJ5 and CJ6, with lift kit component boxes, dual rate coil springs, ADX M2.0 shocks, and pitman arms sized for these platforms.

Common Questions

What is the difference between a lift kit and a leveling kit?

A lift kit provides a larger increase in ride height for bigger tires and serious off-road use, while a leveling kit makes a smaller correction to fix a factory nose-down stance.

Do I need a steering stabilizer on a lifted truck?

A steering stabilizer is recommended on lifted trucks and Jeeps because larger tires and altered steering geometry can increase road feedback and wander at highway speed.

What is a dual rate coil spring?

A dual rate coil spring uses two different coil densities in one spring to provide a softer ride under normal load and a firmer response under heavier articulation or load.

Do I need new control arms after a lift?

On many lifted applications, upgraded upper control arms help restore proper suspension geometry and caster angle that changes when ride height increases.

What is the difference between Black Max, Nitro, and Hydro shocks?

Black Max shocks are Skyjacker's entry-level twin-tube option, Nitro 8000 shocks use nitrogen charging for improved off-road control, and Hydro 7000 shocks are tuned for a smoother ride on both street and trail.

Do I need an alignment after installing a lift or leveling kit?

Yes. Any change to ride height affects alignment settings, so a professional alignment is recommended after installing a lift kit, leveling kit, or strut spacer.

Will a lift kit affect my factory warranty?

Suspension modifications can affect warranty coverage on related components. Check with your vehicle manufacturer or dealer regarding warranty implications before installation.

What tire size can I run with a Skyjacker lift kit?

Maximum tire size depends on lift height, wheel offset, and vehicle trim. Check Skyjacker's fitment guide or product notes for the recommended tire size at each lift height.

Can I install a Skyjacker lift kit myself?

Many Skyjacker leveling kits and smaller lift kits are DIY friendly with common tools, while larger lift kits involving control arms and driveline components may benefit from professional installation.

Do brake hoses need to be replaced with a lift kit?

Yes, in most cases. Lifted suspension increases the distance between the frame and axle, and longer brake hoses are needed to prevent stretching or damage to factory length hoses.
