A modification package designed for a specific model year of a compact crossover SUV, it elevates the vehicle’s body relative to its axles. These kits typically include components such as strut spacers, coil spring spacers, or complete strut assemblies, and are intended to increase ground clearance. As an example, installing such a kit on the designated vehicle would result in a higher ride height compared to its factory setting.
The appeal of this type of aftermarket equipment lies in its capacity to enhance off-road capabilities, accommodate larger tires, and provide an altered aesthetic appearance. Historically, the desire to improve a vehicle’s performance on uneven terrain or customize its look has driven the demand for such modifications. Benefits can include improved approach, departure, and breakover angles, as well as a more commanding presence.
