What is a Jeep Lift Kit?

First and foremost, a Jeep lift kit replaces your SUV’s springs and shocks, which increases your ride height, giving it extra clearance. There are two types of lift kits: suspension lift kits and body lifts. A suspension lift is more common and uses suspension components to lift the truck, while a body lift increases the distance between the body of your vehicle and the frame.

Why Should I Get a Jeep Lift Kit?

If you’re a driver who does a lot of off roading in your Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Grand Cherokee, or other Jeep SUV, a lift kit can be of great assistance. Lift kits have the following benefits for traversing tricky terrain:

• Increase ground clearance
• Increase suspension travel
• Allows for larger tires better suited for off roading

Another reason people choose to add lift kits to their SUVs is that it improves their vehicle’s appearance and gives it a unique look.

How to Choose a Jeep Lift Kit

When shopping for Jeep lift kits, you’ll find that there are a few different options. Keep in mind if the lift is larger than four inches, you’re likely to need longer upper control arms as well. You will also need to replace the track bar.

If you’re new to Jeep lift kits, it is recommended to have a certified Jeep mechanic complete the installation. Schedule service and browse our Jeep lift kits today at Best Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM.
