Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a body lift and a suspension lift for a 4x4?
A body lift raises the vehicle's body while keeping the suspension unchanged, whereas a suspension lift increases ground clearance by modifying the suspension system instead.
How do lift kits affect vehicle performance on and off-road?
Lift kits can improve off-road traction, ground clearance, and suspension articulation but may slightly alter the road handling and aerodynamics of your vehicle.
What is the legal height for a 4x4 lift in Australia?
Regulations vary between states, so check your state's specific rules.
How much lift is recommended for heavy off-roading?
The level of lift applied to a vehicle is down to the personal preference of each vehicle owner, which is why Pedders have a range of kits with different levels of lift to suit a wide range of driver preferences and applications.
Will a lift kit affect my fuel efficiency?
A lifted vehicle may experience a minor decrease in fuel efficiency due to a slight increase in aerodynamic drag from having a higher vehicle. Fuel efficiency can also be affected if you also fit non-standard size wheels and tyres in conjunction with your lift kit.
