Challenger Lift Extensions - LE12EH2 2ft Column Extension Kit for the LE12

Running into taller trucks, SUVs, or lifted work vehicles that won't clear your existing two-post lift? The Challenger LE12EH2 2ft Column Extension Kit is the direct fix. These are genuine challenger lift parts made specifically for the LE12, and they give you an extra 2 feet of column height so you can stop turning away high-profile vehicles and start lifting them.

This kit works two ways: order it alongside a new LE12 for full-height capability right out of the gate, or bolt it onto an existing LE12 already installed in your bay. Either way, you're getting an OEM-fit solution straight from Challenger Lifts Inc. - not an aftermarket workaround, not a fabricated patch. The parts are made for this lift, spec'd for this lift, and warrantied for this lift when installed correctly.

Everything you need for the conversion ships together in one kit. Two column extensions, a hose extension kit, and new cables. You're not hunting down additional pieces or placing a second order to finish the job. When the kit arrives, your installer has what they need to complete the upgrade start to finish.

If your shop regularly sees full-size trucks, lifted SUVs, or commercial light-duty vehicles, the standard column height on a two-post lift becomes a real bottleneck. This kit removes that ceiling. It's the right part from the right brand - challenger lifts parts sourced directly, not gray market, not pulled from discontinued inventory.

What's Included

  • 2 column height extensions (one per post)
  • Hose extension kit
  • New cables

Installation & Setup

This kit installs onto the existing LE12 two-post lift structure. It's not a standalone product - you need either a new LE12 ordered at the same time, or an LE12 that's already mounted and operational in your bay. The column extensions integrate with the existing hydraulic routing and cable system, which is exactly why the hose extension kit and replacement cables are included. Those aren't optional accessories - they're required components of the upgrade.

A qualified lift technician or authorized installer should handle this job. Challenger Lifts Inc. requires that installation follow their published specifications for the warranty to remain in effect. That means the right tools, the right sequence, and someone who knows what they're doing. Don't shortcut the installation to save time on a single job - the structural integrity of the lift depends on it being done correctly.

If you're retrofitting this onto an existing lift, plan for bay downtime. The columns need to come apart, extensions get added, hoses get rerouted, and cables get replaced. Block out the time, clear the bay, and confirm your installer is ready before the kit shows up. If you're ordering alongside a new LE12, coordinate the installation timeline so both arrive together and your tech can do the full setup in one pass.

Applications

High-Profile Trucks and SUVs

Lifted pickups, full-size commercial trucks, and taller SUVs that max out standard column height are the primary reason this kit exists. Your shop can't service what the lift won't clear - the extra 2 feet solves that problem directly without replacing the lift.

Retrofitting an Existing LE12

Already running an LE12 and finding it undersized as your vehicle mix shifts toward taller platforms? This challenger auto lift parts kit lets you extend the equipment you have rather than pulling it and starting over. One installation, and you've recovered the height you need.

New LE12 Installations Built for Full Height

If you're ordering a new LE12 and know your shop regularly sees taller vehicles, spec this kit in from day one. It's a cleaner outcome than adding it after the fact and spares your tech a second disassembly job down the road.

High-Volume Mixed-Fleet Service Bays

Any shop running a challenger two post lift across a broad vehicle mix - passenger cars, crossovers, light trucks, and commercial units - benefits from the added clearance. You stop making judgment calls on whether a vehicle will fit and just lift it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lift is this extension kit compatible with?

The LE12EH2 is made specifically for the Challenger LE12 two-post lift. It's not a universal part - it's designed to integrate with the LE12's existing column structure, hydraulic routing, and cable system. If you're not running an LE12, this kit won't apply.

Can I add this to an LE12 that's already installed in my shop?

Yes. The LE12EH2 is sold for both new LE12 purchases and as an addition to an existing installed LE12. The kit includes the hose extension and new cables needed to complete the conversion either way. Plan for downtime during installation.

What exactly comes in the kit?

The kit includes two column height extensions (one for each post), a hose extension kit, and new cables. These are the components needed to extend an LE12 by 2 feet of column height.

How much additional height does this add?

This kit adds 2 feet of column height to the LE12. It's intended to accommodate higher-profile vehicles that exceed the standard LE12 column height.

Does installation need to be done by a professional?

Yes. Challenger Lifts requires installation per their specifications for the warranty to remain valid. A qualified lift technician should perform the column extension, hose rerouting, and cable replacement. Attempting the installation without proper experience risks both the warranty and the structural integrity of the lift.

Will adding this extension void my LE12 warranty?

Not if you use the factory-specified LE12EH2 kit and have it installed by a Challenger Lifts authorized service representative following CLI's installation instructions. Using unapproved parts or having the work done by an unauthorized technician would void coverage.

Does this ship for free?

Yes - this item ships free to the contiguous 48 states. If you need liftgate service, residential delivery, or a scheduled delivery window, contact us before ordering at (855) 498-2147 so we can confirm any accessorial requirements.

Do I need to order this at the same time as a new LE12?

No, though you can. The LE12EH2 works whether you're configuring a new lift purchase or retrofitting an existing LE12. If you're buying a new LE12 and already know you need the extra height, ordering both together avoids a second installation job down the road.
