The process involves modifying the vehicle’s existing framework to elevate its ride height. This alteration typically includes replacing or augmenting components like springs, shocks, and sometimes control arms to achieve the desired increase in ground clearance. Several aftermarket kits exist to facilitate this modification, each offering varying degrees of lift and addressing different needs, from aesthetic enhancements to improved off-road capabilities.
Modifying a vehicle in this way offers several potential advantages. Increased ground clearance can improve off-road performance by allowing the vehicle to navigate obstacles more easily. It can also provide space for larger tires, further enhancing its ability to handle rough terrain. Aesthetically, the increased height can give the vehicle a more aggressive and commanding appearance. Historically, such modifications have been popular among truck enthusiasts seeking both performance and a distinctive look.
