What does a Suspension Lift Kit do?

Clearance

For starters, one of the foremost reasons for installing truck suspension lift kits is to raise the height of your ride off the ground to enable steeper ascent or descent off-road, and higher ground clearance. In general, it makes sense that when driving over boulders, slogging through mud, coasting across the desert, or even just making your way through the occasional forest trail, higher clearance facilitates negotiating certain obstacles. This can often be a tricky bit of artistry to manage, as higher clearance also raises your vehicle’s center of gravity, which can reduce handling.

Larger Tire Fitment

The general consensus suggests that larger tires equate to more traction, right? Well, not entirely. While larger tires may provide some improvement to traction in off-road conditions, there are other ways to improve a vehicle’s traction that are far more efficient than simply bulking up the rubber. Aside from the obvious stylistic discretion, the main reasons for adding larger tires are for higher vehicle clearance for improved performance in mud, deep snow, rocks, and deeply rutted trails. Certain tires designed specifically for off-road conditions can improve traction depending on the circumstances, but the added clearance is the most immediate and direct benefit of larger tires.

Preventative Maintenance Schedules

Maintenance Schedule: 3,000 Miles
At 3,000, it’s important to change your oil and check your tire treads and air pressure. These very basic but very important steps are the cornerstone of good vehicle maintenance.

Always refer to your owner’s manual for recommended maintenance intervals.

Every 3,000 MILES:

• Change engine oil & filter (up to 5 quarts)
• Check under-hood fluid levels
• Preventative maintenance inspection
• Check wiper blades
• Check tread depth on all four tires
• Adjust tire pressure to manufacturer's specs
