Suspension suspension is a modification to the vehicle to raise the vehicle's height. This is usually done for the practical purpose of improving the performance of offroad SUVs or trucks and other off-road vehicles, or for cosmetic purposes. Suspension lifts enable steeper approach, departure, and breaker angle, higher ground clearance, and help accommodate larger wheels and tires. Due to the increased center of gravity, the maximum safe operating angle can be reduced and the retreatment is often significantly impaired.
The lift package is an aftermarket product package with the parts needed to lift a particular vehicle model, usually with instructions and customer support. Some devices may only have critical or hard-to-find sections, which require hardware or general parts to remove the elevator. Some lifts require only a few parts, such as lift blocks, spacers placed between axles and leaf springs, and coil spacer springs and extended shocks, and special front axles, axles, and more. Larger elevators require many new suspension, steering, and drivetrain components, such as replacement control arm, rear arm, special four-link system, and drive shaft. This change may be necessary because raising the height of the vehicle can impact the length of the driving shaft, steering geometry, and brake lines. Legality is often a problem when installing an elevator suspension, as many jurisdictions have varying laws regarding vehicle height and lamp and bumper placement.

Spring leaf removal
Many trucks are supported by leaf spring suspension. Leaf springs offer exceptional articulation, great payload and can take a lot of abuse. With the correct method they can be modified to help vehicles carry more weight, have better articulation or to adjust large large tires. Some vehicles may be equipped with leaf springs front and rear or only rear leaf springs with independent front suspension.
Some methods of appointment are good for the back, but not for the front, such as lifter blocks. Lifting the backside with blocks is a common way to reach the desired height. This is done by installing the desired, lift height blocks, between leaf springs and leaf springs and installing longer U-bolts. This is a bad method for the front partly due to security issues during braking. When braking, the front wheel creates most of the braking force. This block moves this lateral force, caused by braking, higher above the axle than is in stock. This can cause the block to be displaced from its location and result in total loss of control.
A more acceptable way to build leaf springs is to use additional leaves. This is done by inserting extra leaves into the leaf wrap of the vehicle. Using add-a-leaf will add height, but sometimes make the suspension rise roughly due to the addition of spring rate. With sufficient budget, the best way to lift with a leaf spring is to buy a new device with an attached elevator. An additional leaf depends on the integrity of the old spring. They may be a bit worn, so when the lift is installed, the proposed 2-inch leaf may only lift a 1.5-inch truck. The new leaf springs package will not wear out and will provide the desired lift. This package can be purchased with a variety of lift lift and can be combined with a shackle lifter to provide the proper setting.
