What Is a Lift Kit? 

When your excursions take you across challenging surfaces such as sand, dirt, or gravel, a lift kit can help. By modifying your vehicle’s suspension, these customizations give your car the ability to navigate Cookeville from a greater height. If you’re looking for a more intimidating presence on Highway 111, a lift kit provides space to install larger tires. As you traverse rough terrain, the added clearance helps to prevent the underside of your vehicle from sustaining damage. When obstacles like rocks, logs, or uneven surfaces get in your way, your vehicle will be able to attain the right angle to tackle them safely.

Types of Lift Kits 

The two main types of lift kits are body-on-frame and suspension options. A body-on-frame lift is exactly what it sounds like — extra space is added between the body and frame of your vehicle. This imbues the setup with more durability in off-road situations, but can make the vehicle heavier. On the other hand, a suspension lift heightens both the body and the suspension of your Pacifica, Grand Cherokee, or 1500. It preserves the original suspension and is lighter than a body lift, but isn’t quite as powerful. Before you take your next trip to Dogwood Park, choose the option that’s right for your needs. Body lift kits can only be utilized on body-on-frame vehicles, so it will be important to make sure that your choice is compatible with the model you drive. If you’re not sure which of these available improvements is best suited to your vehicle, reach out to our expert staff.

Additional Accessories

After you furnish your vehicle with a lift kit, it may be necessary to pay some attention to the other components to make sure that they can keep up. The change can necessitate a new driveshaft and longer brake lines, since the systems they connect will be further apart. For the same reason, your vehicle could be in need of updated upper control arms and an exhaust modification. If you opt for larger tires, they’ll pair well with wheels that have enough room to accommodate them.
