Lift kit for Kia Sportage - Fifth generation | NQ5 | 2021+

Lift set for Kia Sportage - Fifth generation (2021-present) | Classic Series

Improve the overall capability of your fifth-generation Kia Sportage NQ5 for both city streets and rough roads. This lift kit provides the extra ground clearance needed to safely clear high curbs, deep winter snow, and terrain obstacles. Made from durable polyurethane, these spacers raise the chassis to protect the low-hanging bumper trim and underbody components from damage, while absorbing road vibrations to keep your original smooth ride comfort.

☑️ Full Compatibility: This lift kit is 100% compatible with all regional fifth-generation Kia Sportage (NQ5) model variants. It seamlessly fits all trim levels, wheelbase configurations (Short Wheelbase and Long Wheelbase), drivetrain options (Front-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive), and powertrains (including petrol, diesel, mild hybrid, full hybrid, and plug-in hybrid models) produced from 2021 — present.

⚠️ ECS Notice: Top-tier trim levels (such as the GT-Line / X-Line) are factory-equipped with the ECS (Electronic Control Suspension) system rather than a standard passive suspension. This lift kit is fully compatible with the ECS electronic dampers. After installing the spacers, it is required to perform an ECS Sensor Initialization and Height Control Sensor (HCS) Calibration using a GDS (Global Diagnostic System) scanner. The ECS ECU must store the new, lifted ride height values as the factory reference baseline. This procedure is strictly necessary to prevent chassis control fault codes, maintain genuine ride comfort, and ensure correct adaptive damping logic.

• Front Axle Installation (Studs): This kit requires pressing out the original factory splined studs from the front upper strut mounts. They must be replaced with the provided reinforced extended studs to ensure sufficient thread engagement and maximum structural integrity.
• Rear Shock Extenders: Included 28mm steel extenders are required for the +30mm lift to compensate for the suspension travel and restore factory damping range. They ensure the shocks operate within their intended stroke. A thread locker is included in the kit and must be applied to the extender threads to ensure a secure, vibration-resistant fit. Note: These extensions must be installed only if the rear axle lift is 30 mm or more.
• Note on Rear Spacer Design: To achieve the stated +30mm of actual lift, the physical height of the rear spacers is calculated to include the height of the original factory spring pads. By integrating these measurements, we ensure a precise fit and the exact lift height promised, regardless of the thickness of your old, worn-out factory isolators.
• Installation Note (Rear Axle): Important: The factory rubber spring isolators (gaskets) must be removed before installing the new spacers. Our spacers are designed to replace the factory isolators entirely, not to be installed on top of them.
• Lift Height Disclaimer: Please note that the final lift height may vary depending on the individual condition and service life of your vehicle's suspension. Factors such as spring fatigue, engine weight (petrol vs hybrid), and the presence of heavy optional equipment can influence the final result.

Our spacers are manufactured from professional-grade Polyurethane SCU-PFL-100 (93A Shore hardness). This material is the core of our Classic line, offering distinct advantages:

• Comfort & Quiet:

  Unlike metal spacers, polyurethane effectively absorbs road vibrations, maintaining high ride comfort and reducing suspension noise.

• Stealth Appearance:

  ⚫ The solid classic black color of the polyurethane ensures that the spacers remain invisible under the wheel arches and look like original equipment.

• Extreme Durability:

  100% resistant to road salt, oils, and harsh weather conditions. Polyurethane never rusts or corrodes, making it ideal for both snowy regions and coastal areas with high humidity.

• Structural Integrity:

  The 93A hardness ensures the spacers hold their shape even under heavy loads, while remaining flexible enough to protect your suspension.

• Wheel Alignment: A professional wheel alignment is required after installing the lift kit. This is a mandatory step to ensure proper handling and to keep your tires wearing evenly.
• Self-Installation: A spring compressor is required for installation. Please ensure you have the proper tools if you plan to install the kit yourself.
• Professional Installation: For your safety and the best results, we recommend having this kit installed by a qualified mechanic or a suspension specialist.

While this kit is for +30mm, we offer various heights of spacers to help you build the perfect lift kit for your needs. You can combine different heights to compensate for rear-end sag or to achieve a specific custom stance for your vehicle.
