A suspension modification designed specifically for a particular model year and vehicle type raises the body of the truck from its axles. This modification offers increased ground clearance and accommodates larger tires. For instance, a driver seeking enhanced off-road capabilities for their late 1990s heavy-duty pickup might consider such an aftermarket upgrade.
The implementation of this type of modification can significantly improve a vehicle’s performance in challenging terrains, reducing the risk of undercarriage damage. Historically, these kits became popular as recreational off-roading gained traction, with vehicle owners seeking to customize their trucks for both aesthetic and functional purposes. Improved visual appeal and the ability to navigate obstacles are key benefits.
