An aftermarket modification designed for a specific model year and make of a heavy-duty pickup truck, this component alters the vehicle’s factory ride height. This alteration is achieved through the installation of various parts that raise the body and/or suspension away from the axles. These systems often include new springs, shocks, control arms, and other necessary hardware to ensure proper geometry and functionality.
The installation of such a system provides increased ground clearance, allowing for improved off-road capability and the accommodation of larger tires. Furthermore, these modifications offer aesthetic enhancements, providing a more aggressive and commanding visual presence. Historically, the demand for these kits has grown alongside the popularity of off-roading and the desire for customized vehicles.
