An aftermarket modification designed to increase the ride height and ground clearance of a specific compact off-road vehicle, the Suzuki Samurai, allows for the installation of larger tires and enhanced capability on uneven terrain. The kits typically include components such as extended shackles, coil spacers, or replacement leaf springs, depending on the design.
Elevating the vehicle offers several advantages, including improved approach, departure, and break-over angles, making it better suited for navigating obstacles encountered during off-road adventures. Historically, these kits have been popular among enthusiasts seeking to customize and enhance the off-road performance of this lightweight 4×4. The increased ground clearance provides a significant advantage in challenging environments.
