A modification package designed for a specific model year of a particular pickup truck, it elevates the vehicle’s body away from its axles. This change in ride height improves ground clearance and allows for the installation of larger tires, altering the vehicle’s appearance and off-road capabilities. As an example, this type of system would provide a 2001 Nissan Frontier with additional space for navigating rough terrain.
The augmentation enhances the vehicle’s suitability for off-road adventures. Increased clearance prevents undercarriage damage from obstacles, while larger tires improve traction on uneven surfaces. Historically, these kits were primarily sought by off-road enthusiasts, but their popularity has grown as vehicle owners seek a more aggressive aesthetic.
