In 2014 Toyota released their new Hilux
that was designed to incorporate in it all of the advantages and most
useful aspects of the previous models while removing any unnecessary
components. It turned out to be a great design in terms of
performance that provided all of the capabilities that anyone would
expect from a monster of a pick-up truck along with a few new ones
that no one expected, but were a welcome addition none the less.
There are however many different modifications that can always be
made to any car in order to improve it in a few ways, and the Hilux
is no exception.
When it comes to modification that can
provide some significant improvements, the 2014 Hilux lift kit
is a good choice. There is however one thing that you need to
consider, and that is whether you want your 2014 Hilux lift kit to be
a suspension lift or a body lift. Like any other after market
addition, these lift kits can give your car some very useful
features, but can also hinder it in a few ways, so here is what you
need to know before you buy.
The
body lift kit are specifically made not to change the quality of the
vehicles ride and are more economical that the suspension lift kits,
and save on having to buy new shocks as they remain untouched. These
lift kits will give your tires more clearance while still
retaining the factory suspension geometry and alignment. They are
however more time consuming to install since they require the body
to be lifted and then bolted back into place. They also have the
downside of making the cars frame more visible because the bumpers
are not raised with the body, and aside from the bigger tires that
can be fitted they provide no other performance upgrades.
The suspension lift kits are meant to
make the suspension more articulate and make the vehicle able to
easily go over much rougher terrain than it could normally.
Additionally, these lift kit can also go much higher than the body
lift. The downside is that the kit requires a bit of maintenance and
some of the components may need to be replaced from time to time.
Another thing to keep in mind is that it will now be a little more
difficult to get into your car now since the vehicle has been raised.
Depending on what aspects you consider
more important, both of these lift kits can give your truck some
added capabilities and even make it look a bit more fierce.
