An aftermarket modification designed to elevate the body and/or suspension of a specific model year heavy-duty pickup truck. This modification directly affects the vehicle’s ground clearance, tire size capacity, and overall appearance. Such kits consist of components like coil spacers, lift blocks, longer shocks, and potentially new control arms or track bars, depending on the height increase desired.
The implementation of these modifications offers increased off-road capability, allowing for navigation over larger obstacles. Furthermore, it facilitates the installation of larger, more aggressive tires, enhancing traction in various terrains. Historically, these types of modifications have been popular among truck enthusiasts seeking both aesthetic enhancements and functional improvements for off-road pursuits or work-related applications requiring enhanced ground clearance.
