Get to know what’s good & what’s not when it comes to Suspension Lift Kits.
By altering your vehicle’s factory specs with a suspension lift kit you can then fit larger tyres which achieve better traction and ground clearance. But before doing so it's crucial that you consider the compromises you may have to make in terms of ride and comfort, let’s take a look:
Suspension lift kits can give you 2" inch, 3" inch, 4" inch, 5" inch and or even a 6" inch lift! (Or that’s 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 125mm and 150mm).
With suspension lift kits enable a significantly increase to tyre size, meaning more traction and ground clearance (looks cool too!).
Suspension lift kits mean you can traverse more rutted, rockier, wetter or sandy tracks… a massive popular benefit of suspension lift kits.
In most weather scenarios your driving visibility is much better when your vehicle sits higher above the road.
With the extra height of a suspension lift, comes a more difficult manoeuvre to get in and out of the vehicle. Think about if you and your family will be able to get easily in and out.
It’s a common mistake when deciding on suspension lifts to go too high. When in decision making mode, stick to the height you actually need – if you go too high the position can feel strange.
Even with the best suspension lift job in the world, the ride comfort and handling can be affected, slipping away from the quality enforced by factory settings.
With a suspension lift your vehicle’s centre of gravity will go higher, which means the risk of roll over increases – so you’ll need to adjust your driving style and take more care.
On Independent front suspension (IFS) vehicles if you go too high then this is at the expense of downtravel which in turn means you could end up with a harsh ride. Its better to stay a bit lower so your kidneys don’t hate you!
