A modification package designed to elevate the body or suspension of a specific sport utility vehicle model produced in 2007 is the central focus. These aftermarket products alter the vehicle’s original ground clearance and stance. The components typically include spacers, extended shocks, and sometimes replacement leaf springs or coil springs, depending on the specific kit and desired lift height. An example includes a 3-inch suspension enhancement featuring new front struts and rear leaf spring shackles.
The motivation for installing such a system often stems from a desire to improve off-road capabilities, accommodate larger tires, or enhance the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal. This results in better clearance for obstacles, increased approach and departure angles, and an overall more aggressive appearance. Historically, such enhancements became popular with the rise of off-roading as a recreational activity, prompting aftermarket manufacturers to develop specialized kits for popular vehicle models.
