The term identifies aftermarket components designed to increase the ground clearance of a specific sport utility vehicle model year. These kits typically involve replacing or modifying the vehicle’s suspension system. As an example, such a kit might include longer coil springs, strut spacers, or replacement shocks to achieve the desired elevation change.
Modification of a vehicle’s ride height through such mechanisms presents several potential advantages. These include improved off-road capability by allowing traversal of more challenging terrain, enhanced visibility on the road due to the higher vantage point, and a more aggressive aesthetic appearance. Historically, demand for such modifications has grown alongside the increasing popularity of SUVs and the desire for personalized vehicle customization.
