Too Afraid to Ask

A lift kit is a set of parts that makes the car sit higher off the ground. This lets you put bigger tires and gives more space for off‑road driving.

Technical Definition

A lift kit raises a vehicle’s ride height, allowing larger tires and improving off‑road clearance. It often includes upgraded suspension components.
