Factors to Consider When Choosing Your Big Lift Kits

You could be nervous right now. You could be having second thoughts because this is your first time buying a lift kit for your Toyota Hilux. Everyone who is about to make this decision feels a little apprehensive and you can tell that they are having some doubts about this whole thing. When you want a different experience with your car and the ride quality, you are willing to make these alterations. And to tell you the truth, these are rather important.

But do bear in mind that the kind of suspension lift kit that will work best for you will depend on a lot of factors. ? Some of them are listed below:

• The type of vehicle you are using
• The specifications of the factory suspension 
• What purpose you are going to put the vehicle to after installing a big lift kit 
• What is your desired tire size
• Eventually it will boil down to your budget as well

But that is not all. You will have to keep in mind certain other factors about the resultant ride quality of the car as well. When you choose to install a lift kit for Toyota Hilux you will have to pay attention to the following without fail:

• Make sure the coil spring lift system maintains factory-like ride 
• Vehicle is lifted with leaf springs so that ride quality is slightly firmer than stock
• Ride quality should not change noticeably on vehicles equipped with independent front suspension
• The factory torsion bars, struts or coils should not be replaced
• The shocks used should be properly valved because they too greatly impact ride quality
• Do keep in mind the tire type you are aiming for after the modification
• Their operating air pressure should not be higher than needed
• Keep in mind that over-inflation reduces ride quality and causes uneven tire wear
• Also make sure that the professional doesn’t over–tighten the suspension components. If done, ride quality may take a direct hit

All of this will need to be taken care of the by the mechanic or the store professional.
