A suspension modification package designed to increase the ride height of a particular sport utility vehicle, the Toyota RAV4, is commonly referred to as equipment that raises the body away from the chassis. This aftermarket adaptation provides additional ground clearance and allows for the fitment of larger tires, altering the vehicle’s stance and off-road capabilities. As an example, a 2-inch enhancement modifies the vehicle’s overall profile and approach angle.
These upgrades are popular because they enhance the vehicle’s ability to navigate uneven terrain and overcome obstacles encountered during off-road driving. Historically, such modifications were primarily associated with trucks and dedicated off-road vehicles; however, the growing interest in adventure and overlanding has led to increased demand for similar enhancements for smaller SUVs like the RAV4. The benefits extend beyond mere aesthetics, providing practical improvements for outdoor enthusiasts.
