A lift kit is a set of parts that makes the car sit higher off the ground. It lets you put bigger wheels on and drive better over rough terrain.

Technical Definition

A lift kit raises a vehicle's ride height by adding spacers or new suspension components, allowing for larger tires and improved off-road capability.
