Is Lifting a Jeep Worth it?
Only you can decide if lifting your Jeep is worth it. Keep in mind that lifting your Jeep will cause changes in the aerodynamics of your vehicle, which can slightly affect your car’s fuel economy. We’ve found more pros than cons, though:
- “Elevated” aesthetic - the look of a lifted Jeep is undeniably cool–no explanation needed!
- Off-road capabilities - While many people lift their Jeeps for appearance’s sake, the practical reason to lift your truck is to increase ground clearance and to raise the Jeep’s body, frame, and differentials higher. This additional clearance requires installing larger tires and in order to do that, it’s necessary to boost everything further away from the ground. Essentially, lifting your jeep takes the normal off-road capabilities of a Jeep Wrangler and intensifies them, allowing you increased power to tackle the challenge of off-road terrain and increased crawl capability on even the roughest of terrains.
- Towing - When you’re towing a heavy load, a lifted suspension provides the benefit of having more space to settle into
- Visibility - Visibility is massively improved when you are sitting up higher. You’ll be able to see over vehicles and down the street. Naturally, you will also be more visible to others, and together this can reduce the chance of collisions or mishaps.
- Finally, since Wisconsin is in a region that receives lots of snow, we all know what it’s like to drive in a winter storm. The higher clearance of a lifted Jeep will make your drive safer and smoother.
What Should I Know Before Lifting My Jeep?
- Vehicle measurements - Before installing the kit and adding the massive new tires you’ve been eyeing, make sure you measure all the dimensions of your Jeep so you know how much room you’re working with. The Jeep’s suspension may lower after a few months, so remember to leave an extra inch or two between the fender and your new tires.
- Tire size - With your Jeep measurements in mind, choose new tires for your lifted Jeep. Consider how you plan to use your new ride, then find tires that are equipped to handle that kind of terrain. Consider what kinds of features you want in a tire, including stability, snow and ice traction, gas mileage, and the overall weight of the tires.
- Local regulations - The vehicle regulations and laws of your locality are among the most important things to know before lifting your Jeep. Some states don’t limit lifting with laws or regulations, but other areas have strict rules that only allow drivers to lift vehicles above four inches. Failing to learn the laws before lifting your vehicle could result in a hefty fine. As always, it’s smart to research before making any vehicle modifications.
How High Should You Lift Your Jeep?
Before lifting a Jeep, it’s critical to determine precisely how much higher you want to lift your vehicle. As aforementioned, even just a few inches can have an enormous impact on the capability and performance of your Jeep. As such, it is important to carefully consider your lifestyle when choosing the height. If you plan to take your Jeep off-roading, you might want to ponder lifting your Jeep 4.5 – 6 inches. This height will provide a vast amount of ground clearance and also accommodate robust tires. If you see only very minimal off-roading in your future and suspect you will mainly drive on the freeway, it may be more advantageous to lift your vehicle higher by only 2 to 3 inches. Assessing your driving habits and overall lifestyle will help you determine how high you should lift your Jeep.
Will a Lift Kit Void My Jeep Warranty?
Sometimes lift kits will void your Jeep warranty. Before installation, make sure to confirm that your specific lift kit won’t void your Jeep warranty. Unless you are an experienced mechanic, attempting to install a lift kit is not advised.
What Do You Need When Lifting a Jeep?
Some Jeep and truck lift kits are safe and simple enough to be installed by people with average mechanical experience, but professional installation is still recommended for safety. If you know you’re capable of a DIY Jeep lift installation, start by gathering all your necessary tools and parts. Some of the tools you may need include:
- A car jack and jack stands
- Tire stops and tire removal tools
- A torque wrench
