Why You Should Lift Your Truck
It’s a common sight: A truck owner who thinks they are doing the right thing by keeping their truck the stock height while spending money on aftermarket goodies like growling exhausts and loud sound systems. That’s fine for impressing kids at the local high school, but serious truck enthusiasts know the difference between a truck that can perform and one that was built purely for show.
The fact remains that lifted suspension is one of the greatest performance enhancers you can do for your truck. The effect of a lifted suspension can drastically change the geometry of truck, which means that it can be a smoother drive on the highway, and once you get your vehicle on the off-road, you can be expect to conquer difficult conditions and obstacles without any problems.
Suspension Lift Kits are often used to improve visibility, add ground space and increase your wheel clearance for wider and beefier tires.
Making Towing a Breeze
At 4WheelOnline, we know that one of the main reasons that truck owners lift their trucks is to make things easier when hauling heavy loads or towing a trailer. Because trucks tend to “squat down” when loaded up with heavy supplies or hauling a full trailer, it can add stress to all of the your suspension components including ball joints and control arms. A lift kit allows your truck to keep a steady, level stance while putting weight in the bed of your truck or on the ball of your tow hitch.
Additionally, a suspension lift kit on your truck or SUV will give a smoother, more comfortable ride which improves straight line performance to with your increased towing capabilities. Plus enthusiasts who use lift kits on their work trucks have reported better road holding and braking, and increased gas mileage. This is especially true for truck owners who use their trucks to tow extreme heavy loads.
Installing a
Suspension Lift Kit
will create the needed space to eliminate bottoming out and even gives a comfortable cushion for riding over rough roads, trails, and bumps, which peace of mind when towing precious cargo.
