BUYING A LIFT KIT

There are two types of lift kit shoppers: those who want a lot without spending much and those who jump in with both feet and over accessorize. The trick is to find a happy medium between the two types. The buyers that are trying to be more cost-efficient usually end up with random components (or the wrong ones all together), and the result can lead to a poor performance system that requires costly repairs. And of course, loading your truck with excessive performance gear will make you look like “that guy.” Buying a lift kit and other off-road equipment requires compromise.

Before you get carried away, really think about what is important to you and what you hope to get out of the performance of your ride. For instance, if you want a smooth ride or you enjoy cruising along slow speed trails then look for a lift with low spring rates and soft-valved shocks. If your truck is used to tow a trailer, then you’ll want firmer springs and shocks. And if you’re looking for an all-out high-speed desert track, then be on the lookout for a lift that provides increased wheel travel with monotube-style shocks.

Okay, by now you’re probably chomping at the bit to get started. But first take our advice and take these factors into consideration when you buy your first lift and suspension kit.

TYPES OF LIFT KITS

Just like many products, there is no shortage of options when it comes to off-road equipment and accessories, and lift kits are no exception. In fact, the market is saturated with them. First it’s important to know there are two types of lift kits for your truck or SUV. There are suspension lift kits and body lift kits. The body lift kit does just that—it raises your truck’s body higher so you can add a set of monster tires.Each lift kit is designed to fit your vehicle’s make, model, and year. Suspension lift kits raise the truck’s frame and body by changing the height of the suspension.

Off-Road Rim Financing can match you with lift kits by Rough Country, Zone Off Road, Fabtech Motorsports, Ready Lift, Skyjacker, and Rancho Suspensions.

THE ADVANTAGES OF LIFT KITS

Obviously lift kits make your truck look like high-performing machines, but there are other advantages to modifying the height of your truck. Suspension lift kits prevent excessive dive and body squat while braking or accelerating. For optimal performance, it’s best to pair your lift kit with suspension components like shock absorbers.
