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.

What wheels and tires work with the lift?
It is compatible with stock sizes, so your factory wheels are fine. For more compliance on broken pavement, many owners pair it with an off-road wheel and tire package in a spec with taller sidewalls, such as an 18-inch setup with Yokohama Geolandar all-terrain tires. The extra sidewall adds cushioning and durability that complements the added clearance.
Does adding a lift kit put my Tesla warranty at risk?
Bolting on this kit does not automatically void your Tesla warranty. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Tesla must prove an aftermarket part directly caused a failure to deny coverage for it. Since the install is reversible and follows OEM load paths, you can return to stock, and we recommend keeping your factory components. Retaining them makes any future service conversation simpler.
How much can you lift a Model Y with a bolt-on kit?
This kit adds +35mm, about 1.5 inches or 3.81 cm, of ground clearance and levels the stance by reducing factory rake. It spaces the body upward at the front tophat, rear spring perch, and rear shock mount using precision components, so you gain real clearance for driveways and fire roads and margin over snow ruts. No cutting, no permanent changes.
Is a leveling lift better than coilovers for my Model Y?
It depends on your priority. If you want clearance, a leveled look, and factory ride comfort at a sensible cost, this leveling kit is the smart OEM-plus route because your springs and dampers keep working as intended. If you want maximum height and damping adjustability plus track-oriented dynamics, a coilover package like the Dirt and Snow Trailhead Pro system is the better fit.
Does the lift kit fit the 2026 Juniper Model Y?
Yes. It is fully compatible with both the 2020 to 2025 first-generation Model Y and the 2026 plus Juniper refresh, and it works with factory or aftermarket dampers and springs. It installs at factory mounting points designed to mirror Tesla’s OEM suspension architecture, so the fit is clean across both generations.
What parts make up the lift kit when it arrives?
It is a self-contained package for front and rear. You get six UP stud extenders for the front tophat interface, two front spring shims, two rear spring shims, two rear spring isolators that keep OE-style NVH in check, and four rear shock shims that preserve rear shock geometry once the car is raised. Every fastener the install needs is in the box, so nothing extra to source.
Will lifting the car make it ride harshly?
No. Because the kit spaces the body rather than swapping spring rates, your factory springs and dampers operate as designed and ride quality is retained. The OE-style rear isolators keep noise and harshness in check, avoiding the clunky feel of improvised spacer solutions. You get the clearance without trading away the Model Y’s daily refinement.
How involved is the installation?
It is straightforward for any shop familiar with Tesla suspension service. The front shock assemblies come off temporarily to reach the tophat studs, and in the rear the springs and shocks are removed to fit the shims, isolators, and spacers. A four-wheel alignment afterward is strongly recommended, and you should re-torque fasteners after the first break-in miles.
What do I actually gain day to day from 1.5 inches?
Practical usability. You get better approach and departure angles for steep driveways and berms, plus more underbody margin protecting the battery shield and panels. Graded dirt roads and light trails stop being a worry. That angled driveway you always took diagonally becomes a straight pull-in. This is capability you notice on the commute, and the taller look comes along with it.
Can Unplugged Performance install it, or do I need to find a shop?
Both options exist. If you are near our Hawthorne, California headquarters, our team can install the kit for you. If not, our nationwide authorized installer network can handle the install and the follow-up alignment. The kit is also within reach of an experienced DIYer, since it uses factory locations and includes the hardware.
Will upgrading my brakes void the Tesla warranty?
Tesla’s warranty covers factory-installed parts, but it does not automatically void your warranty if you install aftermarket components like Unplugged Performance brake kits. Under U.S. law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act), Tesla must prove that an aftermarket part caused a failure in order to deny warranty coverage. Our parts are engineered to work harmoniously with Tesla OEM Brake systems and can be professionally installed by Unplugged Performance in Hawthorne, CA or by an authorized installer to minimize risk. That said, any damage directly caused by misuse or improper installation may not be covered. We recommend retaining all factory parts so you can revert to stock if needed. Many Tesla owners enjoy peace of mind by using Unplugged Performance products, which are extensively tested and installed by certified professionals. If warranty concerns are top-of-mind, our team can help clarify compatibility and installation best practices to ensure a worry-free experience.
What does the Unplugged Performance product warranty cover?
Unplugged Performance offers a comprehensive warranty on all parts and installations performed by our certified technicians. Warranty coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship on items including lowering springs, coilovers, big brake kits, brake pads, stainless steel brake lines, shocks, and more. Should any covered part fail under normal use or display premature wear, we will repair or replace it at no additional cost—assuming the component was installed by us or at one of our authorized partners.
This warranty is valid for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, excluding consumable products like brake pads, rotors, and tires, starting from the installation date. Coverage extends to labor for warranty repairs when performed by Unplugged Performance or an authorized installer. It does not cover damage resulting from misuse, accidents, off‑road use, improper installation not done by us, or modifications that aren’t factory-approved.
To file a warranty claim, simply contact our service team. We’ll guide you through inspection, shipping (if needed), and repair or replacement logistics. transparencia and top-tier support are what you can expect from Unplugged.
Will installing Unplugged Performance parts void my Tesla warranty?
Installing aftermarket parts does not automatically void your Tesla warranty. Under the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011/01/ftc-validates-right-to-install-aftermarket-parts), a manufacturer cannot void your warranty simply because you installed aftermarket parts. Tesla must prove that the aftermarket part caused the specific failure in question to deny a warranty claim. UP recommends retaining all factory parts to allow reverting to stock if needed.
