Nissan announced at the Chicago Auto Show this week that they are now offering a factory-authorized suspension lift kit for select models of the TITAN and TITAN XD full-size pickups.
The bolt-on kits, developed by California-based ICON Vehicle Dynamics, give the TITAN a more aggressive exterior appearance, increased ground clearance with the suspension lift adjustable up to three inches.
Designed and constructed for TITAN and TITAN XD Crew Cab 4×4 models, the suspension lift kits will be available beginning spring 2018.
“We worked with ICON, a proven name in suspension lift-kit engineering, to develop the first kits to be offered through our Nissan dealer network,” said Billy Hayes, division vice president, LCV and Trucks, Nissan North America, Inc. “They came back to us with a kit that is easy to install, maintains TITAN and TITAN XD’s impressive factory payload and towing capabilities, and allows the trucks to be returned to stock for resale or end-of-lease return.”
Available for TITAN and TITAN XD Crew Cab 4×4 models, the ICON suspension lift kit package includes adjustable-height coil-over shock absorbers tuned specifically for TITAN and TITAN XD, custom rod end bearings and patent-pending Delta Joints. No cutting or drilling is required.
“With the suspension lift kit’s increased wheel travel and damping ability, ride quality should be enhanced both off-road and on,” added Hayes. “TITAN and TITAN XD are the most accessorized models in the entire Nissan lineup and the ICON kits are a great addition.”
Every 2018 TITAN and TITAN XD is covered by Nissan’s ‘America’s Best Truck Limited Warranty’, featuring bumper-to-bumper coverage of 5 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The ICON suspension lift kit is covered by a separate warranty offered by ICON Vehicle Dynamics.
Nissan executives present at the announcement were unable to provide pricing or to tell us if purchase of the kit could be rolled into the price and financing at the time a new truck is ordered.
They recommended owners of existing TITAN trucks or consumers interested in a new TITAN with the lift kit, contact their local Nissan dealer for more information.
