The Jeep name is synonymous with off-roading capabilities, giving Green Bay drivers tremendous abilities right out of the dealership. However, for those drivers who want a bit more power to take on rugged terrain, consider a Jeep lift kit! These kits are designed to enhance your Jeep's body, suspension, wheels, and much more. The service team at %%di_name%% has everything you need to know about the Jeep lift kits in the guide below.
Jeep Lift Kit Options
There are plenty of Jeep lift kit options available for Appleton-area drivers, from a simple body lift to a full-size long arm lift. But which one is right for you and your driving needs? Here are some details on the five available lift kits.
Body Lift Kit: This is an inexpensive lift kit that adds a bit of lift and is mostly used for cosmetic purposes:
- 1-3 inches of space added between the body and the frame
- Suspension and wheel remain the same
Budget Boost / Coil Spring Spacers: This is also a mainly cosmetic lift kit, though it adds a few more inches of lift than the Body Lift Kit, and can allow you to get bigger tires:
- Coiled spacers placed on top of your vehicle's coil springs
- Adds about 1.5-2 inches of lift
- Ride quality remains the same
Coil Lift Kit: If you're interested in entry-level off-roading, this lift kit adds:
- Longer coil springs added for 2-3.5 inches of suspension lift
- Increased articulation
Short Arm Lift Kit: This is a major suspension modification kit that adds coil spring lift for off-roading, as well as:
- Longer front and rear coil arms for over 2-6 inches of lift
- Larger sway bar links and shocks
- Increased ground clearance
Long Arm Lift Kit: This top-level lift kit is ideal for serious off-roaders, giving drivers the following high-end features:
- Long control arms mounted further back on the Jeep frame
- Adds 3-6.5 inches of lift or more
- Better suspension angles
- Extreme articulation and crawling abilities
- Requires welding and fabrication to install
- Arms can sometimes get caught on rocks
