The phrase denotes a collection of components designed to elevate the body or suspension of a specific vehicle model produced in 2008, enhancing its ground clearance and off-road capabilities. These kits generally include items such as coil spacers, lift blocks, longer shocks, and potentially replacement springs or control arms, depending on the desired lift height and the complexity of the system.
Installing such a system provides increased clearance for larger tires, improves approach and departure angles for navigating uneven terrain, and offers an altered aesthetic appearance. Historically, individuals have opted for this modification to improve the vehicle’s performance in off-road conditions or to achieve a more aggressive visual profile. The extent of the impact on ride quality, handling, and drivetrain angles is directly proportional to the magnitude of the elevation and the quality of the components used.
