A modification to a specific model-year vehicle’s chassis elevates the body relative to the axles. This alteration often involves replacing or supplementing the original components, such as springs, shocks, and potentially control arms, to achieve increased ride height. The resulting space allows for larger tires and improved ground clearance.
Implementing this type of modification on a truck like the specified vehicle provides several advantages. It enhances off-road capabilities by improving approach, departure, and breakover angles, which are critical for navigating uneven terrain. Furthermore, the increased tire size contributes to improved traction and a more aggressive aesthetic. Historically, such modifications were driven by practical needs in off-road environments and have evolved into a popular customization trend.
