A modification package designed for a specific model-year vehicle intended to increase its ground clearance and alter its suspension geometry. These kits typically include components such as lifted springs, extended shocks, and sometimes, modifications to steering linkages to accommodate the altered ride height. This allows the vehicle to accommodate larger tires and improve off-road capability, while also affecting the vehicle’s aesthetic appearance. It is tailored for a two-wheel-drive configuration, focusing on improving stance and moderate off-road performance within the limitations of a non-four-wheel-drive system.
The implementation of such a system for the identified truck can offer several advantages, including enhanced visibility for the driver and an increased approach and departure angle for navigating obstacles. Historically, these modifications have been popular among owners seeking a more aggressive look for their vehicle, along with a functional improvement in certain driving conditions. However, it’s important to acknowledge that modifications of this nature can impact handling, fuel economy, and potentially, the vehicle’s center of gravity.
