Lift Kits 101:

All Truck/SUV owners and off road enthusiasts alike are always on the search to improve their vehicles appearance and performance. One way to rise above the rest, literally, is to install a lift kit to your vehicle; adding style, clearance and allowing fitment for bigger tires. Trucks that sit slightly higher with lift kits and that have larger all terrain or mud terrain tires possess an attractive and unique style, which goes without saying, but they can also dramatically increase ride comfort and clearance while improving traction in all sorts of road conditions. The hardest decisions are often due to having the best options so at Suspension Connection not only do we offer only the best lift kits in the industry but the best customer service as well. Suspension Systems can often be confusing and knowledge is power so let's take a look at the different kinds of lift kits available to you.

Suspension Lift Kits: Ranging from 2" to high end 6" Lift Kits we have the quality you're looking for in the height you want. Suspension lift kits include a system of springs or brackets which are used to raise a vehicle by lifting the engine, power train, frame and body above its wheels. If performance and style is your goal, a Suspension Lift is the way to go.

Leveling Kits: Most Trucks/SUVs have a rear that sits higher than the front. Leveling kits poses a great solution to this and is a great way to add clearance for larger tires. Most newer vehicles are leveled one of two different ways depending on the front suspension; replacement torsion bar keys or coil/strut spacers. Torsion bar keys reindex the factory torsion bars, while coil spring spacers level a vehicle by mount above an existing coil spring / strut and provide additional lift.

Body Lifts: Made up of 10 to 14 blocks along with extended bolts and hardware, body lift kits raise a vehicle by suspending the body alone above the frame. Looking to add clearance for a set of larger tires and an economical price? A Body Lift Kit is for you.

Lift blocks & Block Kits: A Block Kit the rear of your vehicle by inserting a block between the factory rear leaf springs and the axle. If you want a raised vehicle while maintaining the factory stance, a front leveling kit and a Tuff Country rear block kit is a great solution.

Add A Leafs: By adding these to your existing leaf springs, you'll find an economical lift solution and also increase your load capacity. If the rear of your vehicle is sagging due to added weight and your headlights are lighting up treetops Tuff Country add-a-leaf Springs will eliminate that sag and add height to level your vehicle. Shackles: Shackles are an easy way to add a slight lift without all the cost or technicality of a Suspension Lift Kit. Made of 3/8" zinc plated steel, the Shackles we offer are designed to stand up to the most of extreme conditions.

Leaf Springs: By adding aftermarket leaf springs to your ride you can get an increase in lift from 2" and since Trucks & SUVs are workaholics that carry heavy weight and test their suspension everyday, a rear leaf spring enhances ride quality and eliminates fatigue from load stress. Each Tuff Country Leaf Spring is tapered, snub rolled and pre-set for the most comfortable ride in a lifted positive arch leaf spring. Teflon insert are also used to help with ride characteristics as well as to reduce squeaking. Tuff Country backs their leaf springs with a limited lifetime warranty.

Shock Absorbers: Shock absorbers help make rough terrain into a smoother ride. By dampening the shock impulse, shock absorbers contribute to improved ride quality and an increase in comfort. Most of the shocks we offer are custom fitted for your lifted vehicle and are ideal for towing, off-road & daily driving. We carry popular brands like Bilstein 5100 shocks and Tuff Country SX8000 shock absorbers which both carry a limited lifetime warranty.
