Obviously you can do it for trucks and SUVs but I was wondering if it has ever been done for cars.
Raising the car and putting on bigger tires reduces fuel economy. What you would end up with is a crappy handling dangerous mess that gets lousy mileage. Backyard engineering is just that.
My shop can fab a lift kit for almost any vehicle out there. We built one for a Buick Rondezvous which is about the same as the Vibe. Where are you located?
Nikki, The Pontiac Vibe is a huge automobile!! It has a cushty trip, unique helpful aspects, roomy backseat, versatile shipment section, and it gets solid gasoline mileage! yet another determination could be to pass to GM qualified Pre-Owned internet site, you could seek for autos interior your funds. in case you have any extra questions be at liberty to touch me! Evan, GM shopper help
the ground clearance on an AWD Pontiac Vibe is rather low. A few inches would make a world of difference.
There are a few different ways to 'lift a vahicle from suspension lifts to body lifts and you would have to see what companies have lift kits available for the 2005 Vibe. Usually suspension lifts involve installing taller springs/shocks which make the vehicle ride higher. Body lifts are where spacers are inserted between the frame and the body to lift the body off the frame. Body lifts will only work on vehicle that is a body on frame design (like a truck) instead of a unibody design (like a car). Usually cars are lifted to get more ground clearnace for driving off road and the ground clearance alos allows for larger wheels and tires to be installed. The Vibe is not really an off road vehicle so, that is why people wonder why you want to lift it.
