Various methods are used to raise a truck that can vary in price from $100 which will pay for simple coil
spacers to thousand of dollars for full suspension systems. When you are lifting a new truck, remember to
consider that some methods will void your vehicle’s warranty so you have to increase your ride height using low

A four-wheel-drive truck using the torsion bar suspension system can add 1 to 1.5 inches of ride height but
will not add any spring preload thus a smoother ride by using aftermarket forged Torsion keys that cost from
$100 to $150. Adjusting the vehicle’s factory installed torsion keys will add some height but it will
excessively preload the suspension, result in a harsh ride and prematurely wear away the rest of the
suspension. Another way of lifting a truck is through the use of levelling kits that can add 1 to 3 inches to
ride height. Still another way is through body-lifts which take 6 to 8 hours to install. It stacks urethane
blocks on top of the body mounts that effectively raises the body above the vehicle frame.
