A modification involving the installation of aftermarket components to elevate the body and chassis of a mid-size pickup truck by approximately six inches. This alteration affects the vehicle’s ground clearance, suspension geometry, and overall appearance. The increased height allows for the accommodation of larger tires and enhances off-road capabilities in certain terrains.
Raising a vehicle’s body provides enhanced visibility and the capacity to navigate rougher landscapes. Historically, such modifications were driven by a desire to improve off-road performance in work and recreational settings. The advantages include improved approach, departure, and breakover angles, making it better suited for navigating obstacles. Furthermore, the aesthetic appeal of a taller, more aggressive stance is a significant factor for many vehicle owners.
