There
are many reasons why owners of pick-up trucks seek to increase their
vehicle’s ride height; commonly, it’s the desire to fit bigger wheels
and tyres for a tougher look and a more commanding road presence.
There
are two main ways to increase ride height on pick-up trucks: fitting a
full-suspension lift kit which usually consists of complete replacement
suspension parts including dampers, springs, leaf springs etc, or, by
fitting a spacer-style lift kit which makes use of the existing
suspension components. The former is more suited to those seeking extra
off-road capability, the latter is more suitable for boosting the style
and stance of the vehicle.
Cost is a typical barrier to not
wanting to fit a full suspension lift kit and it’s fair to say that
spacer-style lift kits have a chequered past. However, when done right,
they can drastically alter the aesthetics without compromising on safety
or comfort.
The SuperPro Easy-Lift Kit is an alternative best
suited to the soft-core 4WD owner, who wants a less intrusive, easily
reversible, inexpensive, safe & legal option to achieve a little
more ground clearance and to retain the “feel” of the O.E suspension
with the look of a lifted pick-up.
SuperPro has invested a lot of
time and resources into making sure each vehicle’s suspension geometry
is incorporated into the design of every kit including consideration of
the solid height to ensure the shock absorber does not bottom out before
it strikes the bump stop. The lift height of each kit is unique to the
specific vehicle application and the associated hardware is designed,
engineered and thoroughly tested.
It’s also important to note
that SuperPro’s Easy-Lift Kits raise the front and rear of the vehicle
the same amount which maintains O.E. rake and weight distribution to
ensure the O.E. braking performance is unaffected.
