Lift Kit Installation in Alberta
Raven Truck Accessories provides professional lift kit installation for trucks, Jeeps and SUVs in Grande Prairie, Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary.
Our team can help you select a vehicle-specific lift kit based on your preferred height, wheel and tire plans, driving habits, towing or hauling needs and budget. We carry and install suspension products from BDS Suspension, Zone Offroad, FOX and JKS Manufacturing.
Lift kit parts, related accessories and professional installation can be included in one quote.
Choosing the Right Lift Kit
A lift kit affects more than the height and appearance of your vehicle. It can also change suspension geometry, steering, ride quality, tire clearance and handling.
Before recommending a suspension system, Raven considers:
- Vehicle year, make, model and drivetrain
- Current suspension condition
- Preferred lift height
- Planned wheel and tire size
- Daily driving and highway use
- Gravel road or off-road use
- Towing and hauling requirements
- Added weight from bumpers, winches, racks or cargo
- Ride and handling preferences
Looking at the complete vehicle setup helps prevent fitment issues and ensures the suspension system suits how you use your truck, Jeep or SUV.
Lift Kit or Levelling Kit?
A lift kit raises both the front and rear of the vehicle. Depending on the application, it may include shocks, struts, springs, control arms, brackets, crossmembers and other suspension components.
A lift kit may be suitable if you want:
- Increased ground clearance
- Room for a larger wheel and tire combination
- Improved clearance for off-road driving
- A taller vehicle stance
- A more complete suspension upgrade
A levelling kit primarily raises the front of a truck to reduce the factory rake. It is generally a smaller suspension change and may suit customers who want a more level appearance or moderate front tire clearance.
Raven installs both lift kits and levelling kits. Our team can help you compare the options for your vehicle and intended use.

What Lift Kit Installation Includes
Installation requirements depend on the vehicle and suspension system. A typical lift kit installation may include:
- Inspecting the existing suspension
- Removing the components affected by the installation
- Installing the lift kit and supplied hardware
- Installing included shocks, springs, struts, spacers or brackets
- Checking brake-line, steering, wiring and driveline clearances
- Checking wheel and tire clearance
- Torquing applicable hardware to the required specifications
- Explaining alignment, re-torque and follow-up requirements
If worn suspension parts or fitment concerns are found, the Raven team will discuss them with you before completing additional work.
Wheels and Tires After a Lift
A lift kit may allow space for larger tires, but lift height is not the only factor that determines fitment. Wheel width, offset, tire diameter, suspension travel, steering clearance and body clearance must also be considered.
Raven can help you plan your lift kit, wheels and tires together. This is particularly useful when completing several upgrades during the same appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does lift kit installation cost?
The cost depends on the vehicle, lift height, suspension system and included components. Contact Raven with your vehicle information and preferred lift height for a quote.
How long does installation take?
Installation time varies by vehicle and kit. A complete suspension lift generally takes longer than a smaller levelling system. Your Raven location can provide an estimate after confirming the application.
Do I need a wheel alignment after installing a lift kit?
An alignment is generally required when suspension geometry has changed. Raven will explain the alignment and follow-up requirements for your selected system.
Can I install larger tires after lifting my truck?
Possibly. Tire clearance also depends on wheel width, offset, tire size, steering clearance and suspension travel. Raven can help assess the complete wheel, tire and suspension combination.
Can Raven install a lift kit I purchased elsewhere?
Contact your nearest Raven location with the kit brand, part number and condition. The team will confirm whether it is complete, compatible and suitable for installation.
Is financing available?
Flexiti financing is available on eligible parts and installation, O.A.C. Ask your Raven location about current financing options.
