Suspension lift ~ is it worth it?
JumboBeef:
OK, here is a question which I have always pondered. Is a suspension lift (of any amount) worth the effort?
I mean, you don't actually gain any extra height do you? The lowest point (your axels) remain where they were regardless of how high the body is. I can see the point of bigger wheels, as everything including the axels are higher.
I've never had a 4x4 with a lift, so there is a (very) strong chance I don't know what I'm talking about, so I would be interested to hear others views on this.
V8MoneyPit:
The only real advantage is approach, breakover and departure angles are increased.
JumboBeef:
I suppose it would have helped here: :lol:
The Smiths:
One of the biggest reasons to lift is to be able to fit bigger tyres to give more ground clearance.
Edge:
I noticed a huge difference when i had a 2" lift with 35" BFG muds fitted. Offroad i could get further than landys with just a 2" lift fitted, didnt get stuck in other peoples ruts etc etc.
Road handling suffered... due to tyres :roll: .
