Lift Kits

A leveling kit only raises the front of the truck, typically 1.5 to 3 inches, to remove the factory rake. A lift kit raises the front and rear for more ground clearance and bigger tires. If you want 35-inch or larger tires or serious off-road clearance, a lift kit is usually the better choice.

On most half-ton pickups, a 4-inch suspension lift fits 35-inch tires with the correct wheel offset. The exact fit depends on model, wheel width and offset. Compare sizes with our tire size calculator.

Yes. Extra height adds aerodynamic drag, and larger, heavier tires add rolling resistance. A drop of 1 to 3 mpg is common with a lift and bigger tires.

If the tire diameter changes by more than about 3%, the speedometer will read noticeably off. A programmer or dealer recalibration fixes this. Our tire size calculator shows the speedometer difference.

In the US, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act means a dealer cannot void your whole warranty just because you installed aftermarket parts. They can deny a claim if the part caused the failure, for example extra wear on front-end components. Keep your receipts and alignment records.
