If I get a 3" body lift on my car without getting new tires will it give me any height. Because I've heard that getting a body lift is only good for adding bigger tires but wont give you any height without them. I don't get it, any additional info helps, thanks
you mean truck, right. if you mean car, you dont want to go there. trucks, simply put, the idea here, arguably, depending on it's use, is that body lifts retain more of a lower center of gravity. it is also argued that suspension lifts don't give any real added clearance as the running gear/axle clearance is only effected by tire size. put on the tallest suspension lift you can find, and the axle clearance will not be effected. only frame rail clearance is effected. but your are right. in most cases, tire clearance can be addressed by imploying just body lifts.
You wont get any height really cause the car will still be on the same tires. You'll have a little bit more height under the car but that's it. Also you have to remember there will be a pretty big ugly gap between your tires and the arch if you don't change the tire size.
Go okorder /bodylifts/susp_vs_... ....A Suspension Lift Kit actually raises the ground clearance of the vehicle by replacing front and rear suspension components and shocks. In other words, it increases the height between the frame and the ground which gives greater clearance.... Body Lift Kits are typically 1', 2 or 3 lift kits that only lift the body from the frame using blocks or spacers. These kits are generally inexpensive. They do not increase ground clearance, however they do allow for taller tires to be added due to the fact that they increase the height of the wheel wells.
relies upon on what form of jeep you have. Wrangler is the only 95 jeep you need to use a physique raise on. Others are unibodies. i might propose against a physique raise. Theres no upside, till you like clearance for a mechanical replace. Your greater useful off with different mods.... solid shocks, gears, locker, winch and so on.
