Types of Lift Kits

Leveling Kits (1-2.5 inches)

The most affordable option. Leveling kits raise the front of your truck to match the rear. Perfect if you want to fit slightly larger tires without a dramatic change. Installation typically takes 1-2 hours. Cost: $200-$500 installed.

Body Lifts (1-3 inches)

Body lifts use spacers between the frame and body. They're budget-friendly but don't improve ground clearance or suspension travel. Best for cosmetic purposes only.

Suspension Lifts (2-12+ inches)

The real deal. Suspension lifts replace or modify your springs, shocks, and control arms. This gives you genuine ground clearance, better off-road capability, and room for much larger tires. Cost: $800-$4,000+ installed.
