2. Suspension lift - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_lift

   A 2001 GMC Sierra Stepside with a 6" suspension lift. A suspension lift is a modification to a vehicle to raise the ride height. It is done for the purpose of improving the off road performance of SUVs or trucks and other off-road vehicles, or for cosmetic purposes. Suspension lifts can enable steeper approach, departure, and breakover angles ...

3. Body lift - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_lift

   A body lift is a modification where spacers are installed between a vehicle's body and chassis in order to increase the ride height (only increases running clearance on vehicles with solid axle(s)). It is a common method to run larger tires on a vehicle.

4. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. [1] Suspension systems must support both road holding/handling and ride quality, [2] which are at odds with each other. The tuning of suspensions involves finding the right compromise.

5. Self-levelling suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-levelling_suspension

   Land Rover developed a self-levelling rear suspension using the "Boge Hydromat" self-energising hydraulic strut. [13] Of similar construction to a hydraulic shock absorber the strut used the motion of the suspension travelling over bumps to pump itself back up to a pre-set height. It was sufficiently powerful to regain up to 85% of normal ride ...

6. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   Unlike a shock absorber, a strut has a reinforced body and stem. Struts are subjected to multidirectional loads, while a shock absorber only damps vibration, only receiving a load along its axis. Struts and shock absorbers have a different way of attachment. Shock absorbers are mounted through rubber or urethane bushings to the frame and ...
