![]() ![]() Usually people add lift to their rides in order to clear larger tires for off road use. ![]() By incorporating new springs and usually shocks, you not only gain lift, but you have the correct spring rates and shock valving to match the lift. Although the priciest of these options, a suspension lift kit is the most complete, and for most situations ideal, form of lift for your rig. With the body sitting higher away from the frame there is more room for big wheels and tires, however the actual ground clearance underneath the vehicle remains unchanged. ![]() Body lift kits gain clearance at the wheel wells to fit larger tires by using spacers between the body of the vehicle and the frame. Leveling kits utilize helper springs or spacers in order to boost the ride height on only one end of your rig so that it rides with a level stance and potentially can clear larger tires. A suspension lift kit is a means of raising your truck, SUV or Jeep by utilizing suspension components such as taller springs and longer shock absorbers. ![]() The most common forms include suspension lift kits, leveling lift kits and body lift kits. Q: What is a suspension lift kit? Why buy one? How does a suspension lift differ from a leveling lift, and how does either of those differ from a body lift? A: There are many ways that you can lift your vehicle. If one kit is noticeably cheaper than another there is probably a good reason it may not include all of the same components. Be sure to look carefully at what is included in each kit and shop accordingly. On the other hand some companies require you to buy extended brake lines or even shock absorbers separately and only include the basic springs and hardware in the kits. For example some kits may include extended brake lines or longer shackles in the package in addition to springs, shocks and hardware. However, there is often variation between brands on what is included in a complete lift kit. If it is a shackle lift the kit will include shackles, bushings and hardware. If it is a body lift kit this means all the appropriate spacers, bushings and hardware to complete the lift. Normally if you are dealing with a complete suspension lift kit this means you will get four new lift springs, mounting hardware, bushings and shock absorbers to match your new springs all in one kit. So whether you are after the right look or need some additional function from your truck, we highly recommend complete lift kits. With a complete lift kit you can gain the clearance you need to drive on the trails and will give your rig an aggressive new look at the same time that is sure to turn heads as you drive down the road. If you are looking to gain clearance under your vehicle for rough roads or get some extra wheel well space for larger wheels and tires, complete lift kits are the absolute best way to go because it is essentially one stop shopping.
