Why Should You Install a Lift Kit?

---

• Roll in Style - Getting your vehicle lifted can make a statement, as it is one of the most dramatic ways to change the look of your vehicle. Even a couple of inches of lift will make people turn their heads. However, a little lift comes with great responsibility. It takes diligence and a keen eye to keep a lift and all of its components properly maintained and is something you should consider before purchasing one for looks!
• Get More Performance - If you're the type that likes to take your vehicle off the blacktop a lift might just give you the extra boost you need to fit those massive tires you have picked out! Plus, a little ground clearance can mean the difference between barely making it and serious damage to your rig. Consider what you’ll want to do after the lift and let us know (i.e. general off-roading, mud racing, rock crawling). It may change our recommendations.

What Does A Lift Kit Do?

Lifting your vehicle can give you quite a bit of extra ground clearance which can come in handy while negotiating obstacles in the woods or in a mud hole. However, there are some trade-offs such as a higher center of gravity and thus a higher propensity to flip. In addition to ground clearance, being able to fit larger tires can lend to better offroad performance and traction.

Things You Should Consider Before Getting a Lift Kit:

• Where to Start - Usually the best place to start is right here! Doing your research is the most important first step in deciding what lift you want and how to ask the right questions to make sure that happens. If your having a hard time making sense of all the information online be sure to give us a call at one of our many locations in South Carolina.
• Any Pre-Requisite Work - Make sure that your vehicle is going to be compatible with the lift you want and that you won’t need any repair work done before installing.
• Performance Will Change - You may be sitting high and mighty but there are some downsides too. At higher speeds, larger tires can make your ride loud and uncomfortable. Your vehicle may also feel a little unstable in turns due to the higher center of gravity.
• Gas Milage - It takes more fuel to move those heavy new lift components and gigantic tires.
