The thing about lift kits is that they’re like any other car mod. You’ve gotta make sure you know what you’re doing, both for your own safety and the sake of your 4x4. That’s why it’s important to make sure you understand the fundamentals of suspension before you go to the next step.
What is a lift kit?
A lift kit is a mod for your 4x4 consisting of various suspension parts that raise its overall height and ground clearance. This comes with many advantages, such as;
- A raised undercarriage is better at avoiding obstacles, so you can drive your 4wd on off-road terrains and avoid damage from debris.
- Higher vehicles handle a larger range of terrains; including rivers, steep hills, sand dunes, etc.
- They let you use bigger tires, which drastically improves your offroad performance, so you’ll be able to drive in any difficult situation.
- Your 4wd’s higher ground clearance gives you a better view of any obstacles on the road, resulting in a safer driving experience, even on everyday roads.
- It helps that there’s very little on the road that’s more impressive than a lifted 4wd that can handle anything.
What kinds of lift kits are there?
There are many types out there, depending on factors such as the specific model of vehicle as well as how comprehensive you want your suspension set up to be. These can involve a variety of suspension parts, including;
- Front springs (coil spring or leaf spring).
- Front shock absorbers (coil over or stand alone).
- Rear springs (coil spring or leaf spring).
- Additional installation parts: Bush kits, greaseable shackles (leaf sprung vehicles) and u-bolts (leaf sprung vehicles).
It’s definitely recommended that you speak to a professional if you’re looking to lift your vehicle. The Supashock team is here to help - contact us if you need advice on what parts you need to get what you want out of your 4x4 suspension!

- Increased approach, ramp-over and departure angles; meaning your 4x4 can manoeuvre over different obstacles without taking damage

A particular feature that sets Supashock apart is the Shell Reservoir System, a key part of each Supashock 4x4 damper that consists of a floating piston that separates the pressurised gas and oil inside the shock absorber. This system has the exact benefits of a remote reservoir, but additionally eliminates the risk of damage to external parts like rubber hoses.
