A full suspension lift, however, is a comprehensive transformation. Ranging from 3 to 8+ inches, it involves replacing or augmenting major components like springs, shocks, control arms, and sometimes even driveline parts. A premium suspension lift kit from reputable brands (like Fox, King, or BDS) isn't just about height; it's about performance. These systems are engineered with matched components—stiffer, progressive-rate coils for support, and long-travel, externally-reservoir shocks with tunable damping to control that motion. The result isn't just ground clearance; it's dramatically improved wheel articulation for off-road traction and a controlled, planted feel on pavement that can, counterintuitively, surpass the sometimes soft and wallowy nature of the factory suspension.
