The Cost of Lifting Your Ride

The Cost of Lifting Your Ride

Several factors can impact the cost of adding a lift kit to your ride. First and foremost, the type of vehicle you have will play a major role in how much it will cost—Jeeps, for example, tend to be more expensive than trucks or SUVs due to their unique frame design. The size and complexity of the lift kit itself is also a factor; larger lifts that require complex suspension systems will be more expensive than smaller ones with minimal components. The install method will also affect the cost. A lift installed by a professional mechanic at a reputable shop will likely be more expensive than a DIY lift done in your own garage.
