Purchasing classics there

increasedYou can't argue about taste, but there are quite a few classic 4wd's and the somewhat tougher USA full sized sedans that stand higher on their feet than the manufacturer has ever dared to dream of.

In fact, it is always the case that steering behavior on the road is reduced if such a case is seriously increased. This is simply due to the change in the center of gravity and the 'geometry' of the wheel positions. Anyway: it is possible.

Unfortunately, there are also people who committed a 'no budget increase' by happily encouraging increasedwith ordinary steel strips and artisanal set brackets. Usually strips were simply placed as 'risers' between the leaf spring package and the chassis. Welding sliding blocks onto the leaf spring was already a technical masterpiece in such a process. With this kind of hobby, no account is taken of the fact that a spring package is a pretty well thought out unit in which you cannot simply mess up the design without changing its characteristics. That mess increasedhappened mainly when the 'tigth' owner of such a car had misjudged the width of his purchased rims. And of course it also gave the car an impressive drag strip look. When it comes to the suspension of a car, it is clear that such tinkering lives can be dangerous.

Rancho and Skyjacker are the names of a few serious providers in this area. When purchasing your raised 4WD or the Sturste Yank Tank, always check how it is set high on its legs. And learn to live there with the significantly less road holding and the superior traffic overview from a great height.
