Suspension Lift Kits: Which Should You Choose

Posted By: Superior Engineering Published: 15/11/2022 Times Read: 10296 Comments: 0


What is a 4WD Suspension Lift Kit?

Suspension lift kits are a custom modification for your 4x4 to raise the vehicle's overall height, providing extra ground clearance. Adding a suspension lift kit to your four-wheel drive allows you to navigate rough terrain much more easily than a factory setup allows. With a 4WD suspension lift kit, your vehicle’s off-road performance can improve substantially. 

A suspension lift kit comes with all the parts needed to lift a specific vehicle model — whether you’ve got a Navara, a Pajero or a Triton parked in your garage, you’ll find a suspension lift kit that’s perfect for you. 4WD Suspension lift kits raise the suspension of the vehicle’s height using larger shocks, axels, and CV joints up by several inches. Investing in a suspension lift kit gives you a much better chance of avoiding off-road hazards like tree roots and rocks, as well as soft sand that could get you bogged. 

Our job here at Superior Engineering is to help you make the best decision on which lift kit you should buy. This guide will take you through everything you need to know about suspension lift kits and which one to choose


Why Do I Need a Lift Kit for My 4WD?

4WD Suspension lift kits can benefit not only your vehicle and its performance but the experience for you as a driver as well. Some of the undeniable benefits of suspension lift kits include:

  • Creating ground clearance

  • Being able to drive through tough terrain and provide a smoother ride

  • Better road visibility

  • Assist with towing

  • Safer driving 

It’s vital you understand your reason for buying a lift kit, as this will help you decide which suspension lift kit to buy. Different types of lift kits fit different purposes, and not all lift kits are for everyone.


Improve Suspension In an Old Vehicle

If you’ve got an older vehicle on your hands, parts of your suspension might become loose and start to sag, which will cause you to lose ground clearance. In this case, a suspension lift kit can help to strengthen your worn-out shocks and suspension.


Off-Roading Suspension 

If you’re looking into 4WD suspension lift kit options for off-roading purposes, make sure the lift kit you select will improve your ground clearance. The types of lift kits that give you more ground clearance raise your suspension. A raised suspension is an improved one, and you will be able to handle tough terrain much more easily. 


Fit Larger Tyres

If you’re looking into larger tyres for your 4x4, a lift kit might be needed to make sure your vehicle can handle these. Larger tyres are better for off-road as they have more traction due to the larger contact patch — the part of the tire that has contact with the ground. 

Suspension lift kits also make it easier to tow your vehicle and mean you can carry extra weight, as there’s more room for the vehicle to sag. A suspension lift kit will also make it easier for you to work on your vehicle if you need to access the undercarriage.


Which Suspension Lift Kit Should I Choose?

To make sure your 4WD suspension lift kit works for you, be sure to consider your vehicle make and model and the height of the lift kit that’s suitable for the way you use your 4x4. You can browse all of our Superior Engineering Suspension Lift Kits, or look specifically at options suitable for your four-wheel drive.
