Lift Kits for Your Pick-Up Truck? Let’s Explore the Pros and Cons
Imagine pulling up to the newly finished Mill Retail Center with a tricked-out pick-up truck that matches the coolness this new project will bring to Millsboro. But, how to trick your truck out? When you want to give your pick-up truck a bold stance and more off-road capability, a lift kit becomes an exciting upgrade.
Because, a lift kit raises your truck’s body or suspension to create more ground clearance and allow for larger tires, this modification changes both your truck’s look and performance. So in this post, the experts at Trick Trucks explore exactly what this modification does and the pros and cons of upfitting your pick-up truck with one.
How a Lift Kit Works
A lift kit works by replacing or adding components that raise your truck’s suspension or body. Suspension lift kits replace shocks, springs, and control arms to improve off-road travel. Whereas, body lift kits use spacers to lift the truck’s body away from the frame without changing suspension geometry.
Pros of Upfitting with a Lift Kit
You can enjoy several benefits when you add this modification to your truck:
-
Increased ground clearance allows you to drive over obstacles with more confidence.
-
Better off-road performance gives you improved suspension travel and handling on rough trails.
-
Enhanced aesthetics make your truck stand out with a taller, more aggressive look.
-
Room for larger tires improves traction and can enhance your truck’s off-road capabilities.
Cons of Upfitting with a Lift Kit
However, you should also consider the drawbacks:
-
Monetary Investment should be a consideration, because this upfitting requires both the kit and professional installation.
-
Reduced fuel efficiency can happen because of increased wind resistance and heavier tires.
-
Changes in handling may make your truck ride stiffer or corner differently.
