Suspension Lift Kit +40 mm (1.5") Raptor 4x4 Nissan Terrano I/II, Ford Maverick I
Complete +40 mm (1.5") suspension lift kit for the Nissan Terrano I and II and the Ford Maverick I. It includes two Medium Load rear springs and four reinforced oil/gas Raptor 4x4 shock absorbers – enough to gain clearance and load capacity without ruining on-road manners.
Suspension Lift Kit +40 mm (1.5") Raptor 4x4 – Nissan Terrano I/II and Ford Maverick I
Tired rear springs and worn shocks on a thirty-year-old Terrano announce themselves immediately: the back squats under any load, the body wallows over bumps, and every decent drop ends on the bump stops. This kit deals with all of that in a single order.
What you get is a matched package rather than parts picked from three different shelves: two +40 mm Medium Load rear springs and four reinforced Raptor 4x4 shock absorbers for front and rear. The Medium Load rating is chosen to carry extra weight without turning the truck into a cart on the daily commute.
LIFT +40 mm (1.5") | CONTENTS 2 springs + 4 shocks | SPRING RATE Medium Load |
Key benefits
- 40 mm more ground clearance improves approach and departure angles and makes room for larger tyres without bodywork surgery.
- Medium Load rear springs keep the back from sagging under gear while staying compliant enough for everyday driving.
- Twin-acting oil/gas shocks cope far better with repeated fast bumps than worn factory units, because the oil foams more slowly.
- Four shocks included means front and rear are replaced together, so the vehicle works on one consistent damping character.
- One brand, one specification – Raptor 4x4 springs and dampers matched to the same lift height.

Who it is for: a Terrano that carries a roof rack, a tent or expedition gear and regularly leaves the tarmac. This is a kit for someone restoring proper suspension performance while gaining clearance, not for building an extreme trial rig.
Fitting notes
The springs in this kit are for the rear axle; the front of the Terrano uses a different arrangement, so at the front you are replacing dampers. After fitting, check front axle alignment and the rear Panhard rod, because lifting the vehicle shifts the rear axle sideways relative to the chassis.
Why it is worth it
- A package specified by the manufacturer for one lift height, so nothing has to be guessed.
- The Medium Load rate is a sensible compromise for a working vehicle that is sometimes heavily loaded.
- Raptor 4x4 is an Italian manufacturer specialising in suspension for classic 4x4s, with a dedicated Terrano catalogue.
If your Terrano is due a full suspension refresh and you want clearance out of the same job, this kit covers both.
