Tesla Model Y Leveling Lift Kit

Key Benefits

• +35mm (≈1.5”/3.81cm) Lift: Extra clearance for steeper driveways, fire roads, neglected asphalt, rugged terrains, mild trails, and unmaintained roadways.
• Leveled Stance: Reduces factory rake for a more balanced, confident look.
• Bolt-On, No Cutting: Uses factory locations and packaging includes hardware for a clean install.
• Factory Feel, Everyday Usability: Designed to preserve the Model Y’s daily comfort and refinement (especially when you pair it with our Model Y wheel and tire packages. 
• Complete Kit: Purpose-built components matched for front and rear, with the hardware you need.

Meet the simplest way to give your Tesla Model Y more confidence everywhere it drives. The Unplugged Performance Leveling Lift Kit raises your Model Y by approximately 35mm (about 1.5 inches) and reduces factory rake for a more level, purposeful stance. Whether you’re clearing steep driveways, negotiating snow and ruts, or just want a bolder look without compromising daily manners, this kit delivers cleanly and reliably.

Designed to mirror Tesla’s OEM suspension architecture, it installs at factory mounting points, and requires no cutting. This kit is also fully compatible with both the 2020 – 2025 (First Generation) and 2026+ (refreshed) Model Y Juniper.

Why Lift a Model Y?

Real life throws real obstacles at a daily driver; from steep driveways, tall speed bumps, to snow ruts. However, we also forget that these changes sometimes require us to change our lifestyle. Maybe you might have moved to a new city where roads aren’t maintained, maybe you are converting your Model Y into a vessel that can enter campsite access roads, or maybe you have a fleet of Robotaxi Model Y’s that go through abrupt garage ramps or roads, love to stub corners, and embark on rides that hit the road hard.

• Picture this:
  • That angled driveway you always take at a diagonal—now you can pull in straight without the scrape-and-cringe.
  • School-zone speed bumps with a full car and weekend gear—clear them smoothly, no underbody tap.
  • A snow covered road towards a street you’re driving—roll through the ruts instead of plowing them.
  • A campground trail with rain grooves and potholes—reach the site without white-knuckling every dip.
  • Construction lips, ferry ramps, or surprise pavement transitions—less worry about your panels and battery shield.
  • Tight parking garages with aggressive break-over angles—up and down with confidence.

Added clearance isn’t just about “looking tough.” It’s everyday usability: fewer approach/departure scrapes, more margin for uneven surfaces, and peace of mind when the pavement ends. For drivers who occasionally venture off the beaten path, go through routes with a number of speed bumps, or have a dedicated fleet that gets abused, this lift adds practical capability while retaining the Model Y’s factory road mannerisms. 

Adding ~1.5 inches/3.81 cm of height gives you:

• Improved approach/departure clearance for driveways and berms
• Extra underbody protection margin for battery and exterior
• Confidence on graded dirt roads and light trails
• A leveled, more purposeful stance without harshness
  

If you take weekend trips to the mountains, drive in winter weather, or simply want a tougher look that works every day, this lift delivers meaningful capability you’ll notice immediately.

Why Choose a Leveling Lift Kit?

Our system spaces the body upward relative to the suspension using precision components at the front tophat, rear spring perch, and rear shock mount. That means:

• Factory ride quality is retained. Springs and dampers operate as intended.
• No cutting or permanent modifications. Clean, reversible install that follows OEM load paths.
• NVH stays in check with OE-style isolators, avoiding the noise and harshness typical of improvised solutions.
• Cost-effective capability. You gain the clearance you need without reengineering the entire suspension.

For even more compliance on broken pavement, rugged terrain, and for optimum ride quality, pair the kit with our UP Forged wheels  in an offroad wheel spec like 18×9 +22 and Yokohama Geolandar A/T tires.

If your priority is clearance, confidence, and comfort; this leveling lift kit is the smart, OEM-plus solution. If you want maximum adjustability and track-oriented dynamics, a high-quality coilover package may be the better fit.

Installation & Support

Installation is straightforward for any shop familiar with Tesla suspension service: front shock assemblies are temporarily removed for access to the tophat studs; in the rear, springs and shocks are removed to fit the shims/isolators and spacers. A professional four-wheel alignment is strongly recommended after installation to optimize tire wear and steering feel. Re-torque fasteners after the initial break-in miles as good maintenance practice.

Pair It with UP Upgrades

For drivers who explore beyond the pavement or simply want a tougher aesthetic, this Leveling Lift Kit pairs perfectly with UP Forged wheels and suspension items like our off-road sway bars and endlinks.
Notes: Alignment recommended after install. Re-torque fasteners after initial miles as part of good maintenance practice.
