Lift it!

Contact Paranoid Fabrications.

They make spacers (mostly for Subarus, but they will do others on request) that sit between the spring tophat and the car frame giving a mild lift.

I know the front macpherson struts won't be a problem as long as you can give pictures with measurements; and if you have a FWD I don't see a problem on the rear either, but I have not taken a close look at the rear on the AWD, so I can't tell you if it can be done the same way.

I remember reading somewhere that there was a class 1 hitch available for the Juke, the thing is thats a 200 tongue weight. I'm not sure but I think deer weigh more then that, but you might be able to find a nice modest little trailer at harbor freight and design it specifically for pulling dead deer.

for a lift kit you might be able to contact Subtle Solutions and see what they say. They make 1" lifts for subaru, if you are local to them they might be able to make a prototype for your car and even put it into production.

If you can't seem to get in touch with them, they have a representative on a BB that I'm constantly on, I can PM them that way.

Here is my setup.

I've been looking for a lift kit for a while now also!!! I think with an inch or two lift and a size or two bigger plus more aggressive tire would look awesome on the Juke!!!

Would you put a lift kit on a Versa?

No?

Then why are you trying to lift a Juke, which is based on the Versa??

One might ask the same question about lowering too. Its all about preferences or even for utility. Lowering can improve handling, but lifting can give you that added clearance. The first week I had my Juke there was a nasty ice storm which followed shortly after a snowstorm and I remember hitting a huge wall of snow and ice and thought the bumper was going to be scratched up. Luckily for me it wasn't, but again we all have different reasons for which route we want to go.

If you don't have anything good or constructive to say, seriously, you should stfu. It's not your vehicle, it's theirs. Atleast he's not asking advice on how to raise it 42 inches so he can mount 32" rims on there.

He has a practical use for the lift, and there are people here who would like to see a lifted, more rugged Juke. I personally think it's pretty stupid to lower the Juke, because it defeats the whole point of it being a crossover. You might as well get a sportscar, if you're going to do that, but I don't say anything, because it's none of my business.

Fair enough. Lowering the Juke a little makes far more sense, since you're enhancing a quality that the Juke already has and was designed for: good handling.

Your rude comment aside, what I said was perfectly constructive. You guys are talking about putting lift kits on a sporty hatchback car. The Juke has not been, is not, and will never be a competent offroad vehicle with anything remotely resembling the stock suspension and driveline.

Go compare the suspension and drivetrain of the Juke to something like a XTerra, FJ Cruiser, or Jeep Rubicon. Drive axles and suspension arms on the Juke look like twigs in comparison, while ball joints, differential gears, coil springs, and shocks are similarly wimpy. Those vehicles have body on frame construction with several inches more suspension travel when stock.

If you find yourself in a situation where your vehicle requires extensive modifications beyond its design parameters to fit your needs, chances are you bought the wrong vehicle. Lifting a Juke would be tantamount to lowering a Jeep Wrangler.
