A modification package designed for the 2002 model year of a specific compact pickup truck, it elevates the vehicle’s body and/or suspension from its original factory height. These kits typically include components such as coil spacers, lift blocks, extended shocks, and sometimes replacement leaf springs, all tailored to the specific dimensions and requirements of the specified vehicle model year. The result is an increased ground clearance and often the ability to accommodate larger tires.
The value in such modifications stems from several potential advantages. These may include enhanced off-road capability by improving approach, departure, and break-over angles. Furthermore, the aesthetic appeal of a more aggressive stance can be a significant factor for some owners. Historically, the desire for increased ground clearance and the ability to navigate challenging terrain has driven the aftermarket development of these systems for a variety of trucks and SUVs. Careful consideration of the intended use of the vehicle is essential when selecting the appropriate system.
