What are Lift Kits?
Lift kits are aftermarket parts and equipment that lift your vehicle higher off the ground. Lift kits are particularly popular among SUV and truck drivers. While vehicle manufacturers don't offer lift kits, there are reliable companies to consider. While it's possible for some enthusiasts to install lift kits independently, having our team install your lift kit is the best way to maximize safety and stability.
Our team can recommend the right lift kit for your vehicle and provide quick installation. Our parts specialists have experience finding the right matches for our customers' driving needs while providing a convenient parts ordering process.
The Types of Lift Kits
Two types of lift kits are common, letting you choose the best option that suits your style and preferences. You will have the choice of a body or suspension kit. We recommend considering both options and the end result you are interested in. Before getting too far, we also recommend consulting local and state laws to ensure there are no restrictions for kit types or height limits.
Body Kits
Body kits are top choices for drivers interested in minimizing their costs while upgrading their off-roading capability. These kits create more space for larger wheels and tires by installing the kit between the body and frame. However, this installation will cause a visible gap for most vehicles. You can find "gap guards," which cover frame visibility.
Most body kits lift your vehicle between 1 to 3 inches, so there is a limit to how much you lift your vehicle. However, that may be enough for you to have large wheels or off-roading tires to tackle more challenging terrain and trails. You will also want to keep in mind that lifting the body of your vehicle will raise the center of gravity, impacting handling.
Suspension Lift Kits
Suspension lift kits vary from body kits since there is essentially no limit to how high you can raise your vehicle. By physically increasing the height of the suspension, these kits provide more ground clearance through various methods of raising the frame and body. You can expect suspension lift kits to require more complex and time-consuming installations.
Some suspension kits let you raise your suspension to provide a foot or more ground clearance. With the entire vehicle lifted instead of just the body, suspension lift kits shouldn't affect the handling of your vehicle and may even improve performance. You will want to consider if this lift kit type suits your needs and whether you will want to continue maintaining and possibly adding to this kit.
Why Choose a Lift Kit?
The primary advantage of installing a lift kit is the increased ground clearance and off-road capability. The higher ground clearance will help you navigate challenging trails and drive over large rocks. Some drivers enjoy lift kits for their commanding views down at other vehicles and the aesthetic value.
