Like any modification to your off-road vehicle, choosing to lift your Jeep or truck is a tricky choice. If you install the wrong components, you’ll be left with a finicky vehicle that handles poorly. When looking to add ground clearance to your 4×4 vehicle, you first want to consider what it is you plan on doing with your ride. Ask yourself the following questions:

• What is your off-road vehicle being used for?

• What size and type of tires would you like to use?

• What are you willing to spend on your lift?

Most 4×4 vehicle owners will use them on paved roads as well as dirt. A small lift will usually do the trick for this crowd. At Dixie 4 Wheel Drive, we’ve installed lifts of all sizes for vehicles that run through all sorts of terrain.

Former TeraFlex Vice President Jeff Mock states, “Most people think the higher they go, the better the lift.  That they need higher ground clearance to clear bigger tires and four-wheel better.  I’ve always thought the opposite.  The lower you go, the lower you stay, and the more stable your Jeep.  I usually get [33’s with] a 2.5 – 3 inch lift.”

Basically the tire size and lift kit go hand in hand. Determine first which size tire you’ll have on your vehicle. Then, base your lift height off the tire. If you use your off-road vehicle for in-town errands, commuting to work, or carting around the kids, a manageable lift will be easier for everyone.

Jeep & Truck Lift Kit and Suspension Options

Every make, model, and year of car will be considered when choosing a lift kit. The size of the car, the lift in height, and the tire size will all have to correlate. But generally speaking, you can lift most 4×4 vehicles 1” to 6”+. A lift kit will vary in required accessories based on the height of the lift. A 1” lift will likely only require coil spacers placed under the stock springs to give it a little bump in front height with long shackles in the rear.

A smaller lift has the following benefits:

• The factory ride is maintained

• Very inexpensive so you don’t break the bank

• Quick and very easy to install

• There are rarely any installation complications

• Very few future mechanical issues related to lift

A larger lift kit is more complicated. Anything over 2”+ comes with the following pros and cons:

• These are the most expensive lifts; even more so should you venture into coil overs

• Complications are to be expected since some lifts basically re-design the entire front-end geometry

• This is for the serious off road enthusiast
