Jeeps and trucks were built not only to haul things from place to place but to also traverse rough terrain. If you own a 4×4 vehicle, the best way to maximize its potential is to take it off-road. You’ll enjoy the feeling of conquering a few sand dunes, exploring a rugged mountain road or even crossing a stream or two. However, not every four-wheeler that rolls off the lot is ready to handle conditions in the off-road world.
Shiny new trucks straight off the showroom usually come with a standard factory suspension system. While such a system is adequate for a providing a smooth, comfortable ride for city and freeway driving, it might not handle the rigors and demands of off-roading.
To increase your vehicle’s off-road performance, you’ll need a lift kit and suspension upgrade. You’ll also need the services of a specialized off-road shop to help you find and install the best custom lift and suspension package for your off-road machine.
Why Go To A Custom Suspension Shop Near You?
As the owner of a truck or jeep, you no doubt have a variety of reasons for lifting your vehicle’s suspension. Chances are you’re looking for one or all of the following:
-
More ground clearance. You can raise your vehicle’s suspension anywhere from 1” to 6” plus, depending on the car’s make and model. Doing so minimizes damage to your vehicle’s undercarriage when crawling over boulders, slogging through mud or whatever obstacles you encounter during your off-roading adventures.
-
Larger tire fitting. Lifting your vehicle also makes room for fitting larger wheels. Larger off-road tires are typically tougher and last longer, allowing your rig to easily handle the roughest terrain with minimal issues. Plus they look really cool on your ride!
-
Making a style statement. Let’s face it, there’s something incredibly satisfying about coasting down the freeway towering over other vehicles. A higher suspension is guaranteed to make a statement and turn heads on the road, and that’s part of the fun.
In order to meet these needs, you’ll need to purchase the right suspension lift kit. This isn’t a decision to take lightly because installing the wrong suspension components can leave your vehicle with adequate ground clearance but poor handling. Additionally, lifting your vehicle can result in unforeseen issues in the brake lines, driveshaft length etc. which might affect your performance on the road.
That’s why it’s important to seek insight from 4X4 specialists who know their way around custom suspension lifts.
