An aftermarket modification designed to increase the ride height and ground clearance of a specific model of pickup truck is the central subject of this discussion. This type of modification commonly includes components like coil spacers, longer shocks, and potentially new leaf springs or blocks depending on the desired lift amount and the vehicle’s rear suspension design. For example, a 3-inch alteration of this type on a 2018 model year of this vehicle would provide increased clearance for larger tires and improved off-road capability.
The implementation of such a system can offer several advantages, including enhanced off-road performance by allowing the vehicle to navigate more challenging terrain. Furthermore, it can provide an aesthetic appeal by altering the vehicle’s stance and allowing for the fitment of larger diameter wheels and tires. Historically, these systems have evolved from simple body spacers to sophisticated suspension replacements designed to maintain or improve ride quality while providing increased height. The benefits must be weighed against potential impacts on handling, fuel economy, and wear on other vehicle components.
