Ground clearance is one of the most common challenges for lowered vehicles. Whether you're navigating steep driveways, loading onto trailers, or tackling uneven terrain, that extra inch of clearance can make all the difference between smooth sailing and costly damage.
Nitron's Standalone Front Axle Lift (FAL) system solves this problem with an elegant hydraulic solution. Unlike traditional air suspension systems that affect your entire suspension geometry, the FAL operates completely independently, giving you the lift you need without compromising ride quality or handling.
How It Works
The FAL system uses a compact hydraulic cylinder mounted directly on top of the coilover body, positioned between the spring and spring perch. This strategic placement allows the system to lift the front axle by approximately 1 inch in just 5 seconds—fast enough to clear obstacles before you even fully approach them.
The beauty of this design is its independence. Because the hydraulic lift operates separately from your shock absorber, there's no unwanted suspension movement while driving. Your vehicle maintains its tuned handling characteristics and ride comfort, even when the system is engaged.
Activation and Control
Convenience is built into the system. A user-mounted switch installed inside your vehicle lets you activate the lift instantly—no need to exit the car or use external controls. Approaching a steep driveway? Hit the switch. Loading onto a trailer? Engage the lift. It's that simple.
Perfect for Lowered Vehicles
If you've invested in a lowered suspension setup for improved aesthetics and handling, the FAL gives you the practical benefits of ground clearance when you need it most. You get the best of both worlds: the aggressive stance you want and the functionality to navigate real-world obstacles without compromise.
The Nitron FAL is available for select BMW and Toyota platforms only equipped with Nitron Suspension systems and are engineered to integrate seamlessly with your existing suspension setup.
