A suspension modification package designed to increase the ride height of a specific sport utility vehicle, the Toyota FJ Cruiser. These packages typically include components such as coil springs, shocks, and occasionally control arms or spacers, all engineered to raise the vehicle’s chassis relative to the axles. The result is additional clearance beneath the vehicle, as well as increased space between the tires and the body. As an example, a three-inch package will raise the vehicle three inches higher than its original factory ride height.
The significance of such a modification lies primarily in enhanced off-road capabilities. The raised chassis allows for navigating uneven terrain and clearing obstacles more easily. Furthermore, increased tire clearance facilitates the installation of larger, more aggressive tires, which can provide superior traction in off-road environments. Historically, these types of alterations have been popular among off-road enthusiasts seeking to improve the performance and appearance of their vehicles.
