Chevrolet is one of the most famous American truck brands of all time so it’s no wonder that these tucks get so much love from workers, regular drivers, customizers, and 4×4 fans. Suspension modification is one of the easiest ways to install larger tires and improve the off-road capabilities of these trucks, so lifted chevy trucks are quite often met on the parking lots, highways and truck shows throughout the country.
Lifting a Chevy Truck – Popular Mods & Upgrades
Thanks to the classic body on frame construction and the use of shocks and leaf springs there are many possibilities for suspension modification. The aftermarket offers various solutions starting with simple body lift spacers up to advanced long-travel suspension conversions. 1-3 inch body lift is usually enough to install a set of slightly bigger off-road wheels and enjoy spirited off-road driving. Off-road racing or rock crawling, on the other hand, require more extensive modifications of the drivetrain and suspension components.
