How much does it cost to lift a Nissan Xterra?

I bought an old Nissan Xterra specifically to go off-roading. The only issue is that it doesn’t have the ground clearance I want, but I’m also not looking to spend a ton on a lift kit. How much is a lift kit for a Nissan Xterra?

If you truly want a lift kit for off-road performance, it will cost between $1,000 and $2,000 to lift your Nissan Xterra. When you get a lift kit in this price range, it improves the suspension of the vehicle and tailors it to your off-roading experience. The kit itself costs $1,000 to $2,000, but unless you install it yourself, expect labor costs between $300 and $500, depending on where you go and where you live.
If you want a cheaper option, you can find a lift kit for $150 to $500. However, these are purely aesthetic kits and simply raise the vehicle and add ground clearance. It won’t make your Xterra any more off-road capable.
You should also factor in cam bolts for about $60 and an alignment for $100 to keep your handling at its best.
