1Leveling Kits - Jeep and Truck Leveling Lift Kits
Guide
2In vehicle customization, leveling kits fly under
the radar as far as off road vehicles are
concerned. Yet while suspension lifts may hoard
the limelight as flashier and more crucial pieces
of off road hardware, leveling lift kits play an
essential role as well.
3Why Leveling Kits?
With so many lift-related components out there,
it's easy to get confused about where they fit
in. In their base concept, leveling lift kits
work similarly to body lift kits in both
application and function, but with a slight
difference.
Additionally, leveling out your ride is simple
and effective to operate, and also relatively
easy to install.
4Know Your Vehicle Leveling kits differ slightly
from suspension and body lifts in their
application. Knowing what type fits your vehicle
can make it much easier to shop for one.
5- Types of Leveling Kits
- There are 3 primary types of kits that work for
most major vehicles.The type of kit you need is
entirely vehicle-specific, and can be easily
determined by contacting your manufacturer. - Strut Extensions
- Torsion Keys
- Coil Spacers
6Strut Extensions Strut extension leveling
kits function off the basic concept of adding a
spacer on top of factory struts.This process is
typically a simple and cost-effective method of
adding lift, especially since it requires no
modification of factory parts, and can also be
easily removed.
7Torsion Keys On its own, a torsion bar can
actually be adjusted to provide lift without any
additional modifications however, stock torsion
keys don't usually have the strength and
sturdiness to safely maintain the lift.
Aftermarket torsion keys provide a solution.
8Coil Spacers Coil spacer leveling kits are
similar to strut extensions in concept, but
slightly different in application. Whereas strut
extensions add a spacer on top of factory struts,
coil spacer leveling lift kits instead add them
to the top of factory spring buckets. These
modifications will help your truck maintain a
factory stance and OEM ride quality.
