Frequently Asked Questions

What is a spacer lift kit?


A spacer lift kit raises your vehicle by installing precision-engineered spacers above or below the factory suspension components. It provides additional ride height while retaining most of the original suspension setup.

What are the benefits of a spacer lift kit?

Spacer lift kits offer:

  • Increased ground clearance
  • Improved vehicle stance
  • Better clearance for larger tyres
  • Cost-effective suspension lift solution
  • Maintains factory ride quality in most applications

Will a lift kit affect ride quality or on-road handling?


Yes, ride quality can be maintained with a properly designed lift kit. While a lifted vehicle may feel slightly different due to its increased height, our lift kits are designed to provide a comfortable ride and stable on-road handling when installed correctly and followed by a proper wheel alignment.

In most cases, a spacer lift kit maintains a ride quality very similar to the factory suspension, as the original springs and shock absorbers remain in use.

Can I fit larger tyres with a spacer lift kit?


Yes. A spacer lift kit generally provides enough clearance for larger tyres, depending on your vehicle, wheel offset, and tyre size.

What is a complete suspension lift kit?


A complete suspension lift kit replaces key suspension components such as springs, shocks, struts, and other hardware to provide increased ride height and improved suspension performance.

What are the benefits of a complete suspension lift kit?

Complete suspension lift kits provide:

  • Increased ground clearance
  • Improved off-road capability
  • Better load-carrying performance
  • Increased suspension travel
  • Improved handling on rough terrain
  • Better support for accessories such as bumpers, winches, and roof racks

How is a complete suspension lift kit different from a spacer lift kit?

A spacer lift kit increases ride height using spacers while retaining most factory suspension components.

A complete suspension lift kit replaces suspension components with upgraded parts that are specifically designed to improve both ride height and suspension performance.

Which option is best for me?

Spacer Lift Kit: Ideal for customers wanting improved appearance, extra tyre clearance, and moderate off-road capability at an affordable price.

Complete Suspension Lift Kit: Ideal for customers who regularly travel off-road, carry additional weight, tow trailers, or want the best suspension performance and durability.

Do complete suspension lift kits improve ride quality?


High-quality suspension lift kits often improve vehicle control and stability, especially on rough roads and off-road terrain, while providing better support under load.

Will I need a wheel alignment after installation?


Yes. A professional wheel alignment is strongly recommended after installing either a spacer lift kit or a complete suspension lift kit.
