The choices you make regarding suspension adjustments are crucial. Consider what you are aiming to do while carefully evaluating the resources you have at your disposal. The majority of us drive multipurpose vehicles like trucks, Jeeps, or SUVs on a daily basis; these vehicles may also be used for carrying, towing, and occasionally off-roading.
The phrase “the sum of a vehicle’s driving qualities and mannerisms” is used to define vehicle drivability. The objective when designing a vehicle with many uses is to strike the right balance between on-road comfort and off-road performance. If you have the luxury of owning a vehicle designed specifically for off-road use, like a rock crawler, you can give up higher speed handling characteristics to increase suspension articulation.
- Ride Excellence
Our coil spring lift method often maintains a ride quality similar to that of a factory.
Vehicles with lifted leaf springs often ride similarly to stock or somewhat firmer. Firmness increases as spring arch does.
Since the torsion bars, coils, and struts from the factory are not replaced, the ride quality on the majority of vehicles with independent front suspension is not visibly altered.
Ride quality is substantially impacted by properly valved shocks. Lift is not provided by shocks.
- Type of tyre and operating air pressure – Check that tyre operating pressures are appropriate for the weight of your vehicle. For instance, despite having the exact same aftermarket tyre on both, a full-size SUV needs more air pressure than a Jeep Wrangler. Uneven tyre wear and a worsened ride quality are both results of over-inflation. Visit the website of the tyre manufacturer or your tyre dealer to find out what pressure is ideal for the weight of your car.
When installing the suspension, it is possible to reduce ride quality by overtightening some parts or by tightening some parts out of order. This is covered in our installation instructions by Superlift.
- Various Rear Lift Techniques
Since they offer the highest ride quality and are the most affordable, rear block kits are typically the most common rear lift technique. However, some vehicles may have a problem with spring/axle wrap up. Consider using SUPERLIFT add-a-leaves or replacement rear springs for these vehicles.
Add-a-leaves are indicated to reinforce weak factory springs and/or when the vehicle is utilised for heavy carrying or towing, and they can be installed with or without lift blocks. When employing add-a-leaves, OEM overload springs that are installed on top can be kept.
If the OEM springs are too worn out or damaged, you should use SuperliftSuperide replacement springs. When new springs are used to achieve lift instead of blocks, spring/axle wrap-up is decreased.
- Height Net of Lift
Depending on the vehicle’s condition and factory suspension package, net lift height varies slightly.
For a certain lift kit, Superlift specifies a front lift height. In order to generate a front-to-rear attitude that is “near to level,” front lift is typically greater than rear lift.
Lift height is lowered by the presence of extra weight, such as a winch, heavy-duty bumpers, storage boxes, extra fuel capacity, etc.
Wide tyres and wheels put more pressure on the car’s springs when they are used on vehicles with independent front suspension. The ride height is slightly reduced as a result of this leverage. The available torsion bar adjustment on torsion bar-equipped vehicles could not be sufficient to counteract this leverage, and now heavier.
