The term refers to aftermarket components designed to elevate the body or suspension of a specific model year and configuration of a heavy-duty Chevrolet truck. This modification alters the vehicle’s ride height and appearance.
Raising the vehicle provides increased ground clearance for off-road applications, accommodating larger tires, and offering an enhanced visual aesthetic. Historically, such modifications were primarily for functional purposes in demanding environments, but have grown to encompass aesthetic customization as well.
