A suspension modification package designed for a specific compact sport utility vehicle, the Suzuki Sidekick, elevates the vehicle’s body or frame relative to its axles. This alteration generally involves replacing or supplementing existing suspension components, such as springs, shocks, and occasionally control arms, to achieve increased ground clearance.
Implementing such a modification offers several potential advantages. Enhanced off-road capability is a primary benefit, allowing the vehicle to navigate rougher terrain and overcome obstacles more readily. Furthermore, it provides increased tire clearance, enabling the use of larger, more aggressive tires for improved traction. Historically, this type of upgrade has been a popular choice among off-road enthusiasts seeking to personalize and enhance their vehicle’s performance.
