Modifying a truck’s suspension to increase its ride height is a common practice. This alteration, when applied to the specified vehicle model year and make, elevates the body and frame away from the axles. An example of this modification would be installing aftermarket components designed to provide additional clearance and accommodate larger tires.
The primary benefit of raising a vehicle’s suspension is enhanced off-road capability. Increased ground clearance allows for navigating uneven terrain and obstacles with reduced risk of damage to the undercarriage. Furthermore, the aesthetic appeal of a more aggressive stance is a significant motivator for many vehicle owners. Historically, this type of modification has evolved from purely functional necessity in challenging environments to a popular customization option for both practical and stylistic purposes.
