There are many misconceptions about lift kits and levelling kits and how they lift and level vehicles. While most people understand the basics of lift kits and levelling kit components, they often overlook some important parts that make up these kits. Let’s get to the bottom of the matter and explain the differences between levelling and lift kits and how they work.

You’ll be better able to decide what is best for your truck and you based on your lifestyle.

Levelling Kits 101

Because levelling kits don’t place as much stress on your truck’s suspension as a lift kit, they are very common for everyday drivers and off-road enthusiasts.

Here’s what you need to know:

A levelling kit designed to lift just the front of your car.

A levelling kit lets you raise the front of your car to match the raised rear end.

Rake is the difference in height between your truck’s front and rear. The levelling kit adds blocks to your factory struts to raise the height.

A majority of trucks come with a rake that can level out your load if you have a bed filled with lumber or other materials. Your truck will be level when it is under load.

The Benefits of Leveling Kits:

This will give you a more sophisticated look without looking too extravagant.

Although there is no performance benefit to using a levelling kit for your truck, it is important to keep in mind that the rear of your truck will sag more now that you have removed the factory rake.

Levelling kits are considerably more affordable than lift kits!

Cons Of Leveling Kits:

– There are no performance benefits or additional ground clearance.

Remember that the factory rake has been removed when you load a truck with a load, so the back of your SUV or truck will now sag more.

Lift Kits 101

Lift kits are not like levelling kits. However, they are more likely to cause damage to the truck’s suspension components. However, lift kits can be a popular upgrade for suspension, depending on your application.

Here’s what you need to know:

– Lift kits affect both the front and rear of the truck, unlike levelling kit that only affects the rear.

– A 6-inch lift kit will give you six inches in front and rear lift.

– However, a 6-inch lift kit may only come with 4-inch spacers. This allows the factory’s rake to be included so the truck will be seated evenly with the new lift kit.

– Lift kits can use strut spacers, similar to levelling kits. However, others will replace the whole strut assembly to increase lift.

– Some lift kits (such as the system to lift 3/4 ton trucks) allow customers to choose between a 4-inch or a 5-inch block spacing. This allows the truck to be level and maintain some rake.

Lift kits are different from body lift kits in that they replace or modify your stock suspension. A body lift lifts your truck’s body by placing blocks between the frame and body.

Benefits of Lift Kits

If you are an avid off-road enthusiast who loves rock crawling and exploring the unexplored paths, Lift Kits will give you that extra clearance.

– A lift’s appearance is the main reason people choose to use it over a level. It all depends on what you prefer.

You may need more clearance if you don’t go off-roading a lot. A lift kit can help you run larger tires and wheels.

Pros and Cons of Lift Kits

Lift Kits can cause more damage to suspension components than they are worth.

Lift kits are generally more expensive than levelling kits.

Lift kits are more difficult to install than levelling kits.

You can expect to be charged for a lift kit that you haven’t installed correctly.
