Does it really matter that my vehicle sits a little lower when loaded?Updated a month ago
Clearance isn’t just about the distance between your vehicle and the ground.
When your vehicle is loaded, the suspension settles, and the clearance between your axles and bump stops is reduced. This results in less upward suspension travel, which can lead to harsh bottoming out on undulating terrain, reduced wheel articulation off-road, and poor handling on-road.
Upgrading to a suspension with increased ride height can provide longer suspension travel, better wheel articulation, and more body clearance for obstacles. It also allows for the fitment of larger, off-road biased tyres, enhancing your vehicle’s off-road performance.
