A suspension modification designed for a specific model year of a full-size sport utility vehicle from a prominent Japanese automotive manufacturer elevates the vehicle’s body and frame higher above its axles. This type of modification typically involves replacing or supplementing existing suspension components like springs, shocks, and potentially control arms.
The principal advantages of this modification include increased ground clearance, allowing for improved off-road capabilities and the ability to accommodate larger tires. Furthermore, this alteration can provide a more aggressive aesthetic appearance. Historically, such modifications have been popular among vehicle owners seeking enhanced performance in rugged terrain or a customized look for their vehicle.
