FAQ -  Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does a suspension lift kit do?

A suspension lift kit is a modification done to a car or truck to raise its overall height and provide extra millimeters or centimeters of ground clearance.

2. How high can a suspension lift kit raise my car?

Suspension lifts are typically limited to 40 millimeters. We offer lift kits in 20mm, 30mm, and 40mm heights.

3. Why install a lift kit?

A lift kit increases your vehicle's clearance, allowing it to handle rougher surfaces like rocky roads, muddy trails, and steep inclines. With more height, you can also install larger wheels and tires, improving stability and grip. Some people also install lift kits for aesthetic reasons, as it makes the vehicle look bigger and taller.

4. What are the negatives of lift kits?

Altered Center of Gravity: Installing a lift kit raises your vehicle's center of gravity, making it more susceptible to body roll. That’s it!

5. What's better: a lift kit or leveling kit?

Leveling kits allow the front wheel wells to match the larger rear wheel wells, while lift kits provide more tire clearance all around.

6. What is the best material for strut spacers?

Strut spacers are simple yet effective components that provide additional lift to your vehicle's suspension. These spacers are typically made of high-quality polyurethane, which is installed above or below the strut assembly.

7. Are polyurethane lift kits good?

Polyurethane offers a major advantage by reducing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). It acts as a cushion between steel components, unlike steel or aluminum spacers.

8. What do strut spacers do?

Strut spacers fit above the existing coil springs or strut units and raise the vehicle 10mm to 50mm without altering the strut modules or coil spring. This is a more cost-effective option because it works with existing factory or aftermarket coil springs or struts.

9. Are lift spacers safe?

Spacer lifts are safe if installed correctly and if they don’t raise your vehicle too high. We recommend using 10-40mm spacers.

10. Is a coilover worth it with spacers?

Yes, coilovers work well with lift spacers.

11. Do spacers hurt suspension?

When the proper size strut spacers are used and correctly installed, they will not harm your vehicle.

12. Are strut spacers legal?

Strut spacers are not illegal, provided they are installed properly and adhere to local regulations.

13. Do I need new shock absorbers to install lift kit spacers?

No, as all necessary hardware is included. The spacers help increase strut travel height, so new struts are not required.
