If you've done some research on lift kits, you've probably heard a story or two about just how poorly a lifted truck can drive.
Common complaints among lifted truck owners include but are not limited to:
- Choppy ride
- Sloppy steering
- Increased tire wear
- Noises/clunking sounds from the suspension
- And more
Sounds like a bag of headaches, doesn't it? Well, the truth is a little more complex than what you might've heard.
Lift kits aren't the problem, poorly designed ones are.
You see, not all suspension lifts are created equal. Whether you drive a Ram, a Toyota, a Ford, or any other platform, a quality suspension system installed by trained professionals will almost never cause buyer's remorse.
From 2" leveling kits to massive 8" or even 10" lift kits, buying your parts from a reputable company goes a long way.
From the construction of the components themselves to the engineering involved in creating a stock-like (or better than stock) driving experience—cheap or off-brand lift kits just don't cut it.
Sure, a name-brand, quality lift kit will cost more—but trust us, it's worth saving up for.
Installation is NOT a place to pinch pennies.
Beyond the lift kit itself, a professional installation can make a big difference. Especially with larger lifts that require cutting, welding, or drilling your truck, you want to be 100% sure the job is done right.
Even with the best suspension kit, it's possible to wind up with a poor driving experience if corners were cut during the install.
Whether you have a shop like ours install your lift kit, or happen to be a master mechanic yourself—make sure your suspension is installed properly.
More driving, less headaches.
In summary, no, lifting your truck is not a death sentence for the driving experience. In many cases, the right suspension upgrades actually improve how your truck rides and handles.
But don't take our word for it. There are thousands (if not more) of reviews and stories about the various lift kit options available online.
