A suspension modification of significant magnitude designed for a specific model of four-wheel-drive pickup truck elevates the vehicle’s chassis substantially. This alteration involves replacing or augmenting the factory suspension components to achieve a pronounced increase in ground clearance and accommodate larger tires. This type of modification is commonly sought by individuals desiring enhanced off-road capabilities or a more imposing aesthetic for their vehicle.
The implementation of such a system yields multiple benefits, including improved approach, departure, and breakover angles for navigating challenging terrain. The increased ride height provides enhanced visibility and allows for the installation of larger, more aggressive tires, further improving off-road traction. Historically, these systems were primarily utilized for extreme off-road applications, but their popularity has grown among those seeking a distinctive visual upgrade. The selection and installation of an appropriate system requires careful consideration of factors such as vehicle usage, intended tire size, and potential impact on ride quality and handling.
