A
suspension lift is a modification, often done by
Jeep, truck,
SUV and offroad enthusiasts to raise the
ride height of their vehicle. Suspension lifts (also referred to as lift kits or leveling kits) enable steeper approach, departure, and breakover angles, higher ground clearance, and helps accommodate larger wheels and tires. Due to the raised
center of gravity, maximum safe operating angles are reduced and roadholding is often significantly impaired with a lift kit.
