Increase tire clearance without changing your vehicle's suspension with a body lift kit. Available in 1-inch, 2-inch, and 3-inch heights, body lift kits raise the vehicle's body away from the frame using high-strength spacer blocks, creating additional room for larger tires while maintaining the factory ride quality.
Body lift kits are a popular choice for truck, Jeep, and SUV owners who want a more aggressive appearance and additional fender clearance without the expense of a complete suspension lift.
What is a Body Lift Kit?
Unlike a suspension lift kit or front leveling kit, a body lift does not modify your vehicle's springs, shocks, or suspension geometry. Instead, durable high-density poly spacer blocks are installed between the body and frame at the factory body mount locations. Longer Grade 8 mounting hardware is included to safely secure the body in its new position.
Benefits of a Body Lift
- Available in 1", 2", and 3" lift heights
- Increases fender clearance to allow for larger diameter tires
- Maintains the factory ride quality
- Factory ride stays the same
- Does not change suspension geometry
- Typically costs less than a suspension lift
Choosing the Right Lift Height
1-Inch Lift
Ideal for drivers looking for a subtle appearance upgrade and additional tire clearance with minimal installation complexity.
2-Inch Lift
Offers a noticeable increase in fender clearance while maintaining factory ride characteristics. Depending on the vehicle, minor component relocation may be required during installation.
3-Inch Lift
Provides the maximum amount of body lift available for most applications and creates significant room for larger tires. These kits often require additional brackets or modifications for steering shafts, bumpers, radiator mounts, and fuel filler components.
Installation Considerations
As lift height increases, installation becomes more involved. While many 1-inch kits can be installed with relatively few modifications, 2-inch and 3-inch kits frequently require relocating or extending components to maintain proper alignment between the body and frame.
Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the installation instructions for your specific application to better understand the required modifications. Professional installation is recommended for many larger body lift kits.
Body Lift vs. Suspension Lift
Choosing between a body lift and a suspension lift depends on your goals.
A body lift kit increases body and fender clearance while preserving the factory suspension and ride quality.
A suspension lift kit raises both the frame and body, increasing ground clearance, suspension travel, and off-road capability while accommodating larger tires.
