Just trying to rap my head around something not on something guys .
What is the purpose of lift kits to start with ? All i can see is it raises your vehicle body (not the under body ) a couple of inch's correct ? maybe get a little bit more side front and rear end clearance Maybe ?
For what purpose ? I dont do any rock climbing (crawling) with my 07 Sport - I go bush - give Fraser Island a pounding - some beach's, bush tracks etc etc. any very rough areas I either go around or take it in 1st low. I have never encountered an area where I have needed of couldn't go without a lift kit.
Is it a visual thing? My Jeep Sport looks sexy enough as it is and am impressed with it as is. As soon as I hit sand tyres go down from 36 psi to 18-20 and I just float over the sand. I would prefere if i was going to "lift" the vehicle I would like a bit more clearance underneath more than the body? I have a slight problem with deep rutted tracks made by higher vehicles = Im worried about dropping exhaust parts or that very strangely situated oil filter more that the vehicle body hitting something.
Just wondering guys. Dont get me wrong, I'm seriously thinking about doing it but I am having a hard time justifying it.
Cheers big ears.
