Lowering a truck can have several benefits for you and your truck, including a lower risk of rollover, better handling, and a stiffer ride. But what about lowering a truck that you want to tow with? Will lowering it affect its tow capacity?

Although light towing jobs probably won’t be affected much, or at all, by a lowered suspension, you could notice significant differences in your truck’s towing ability with larger loads. Here are a few drawbacks you might encounter.

Are There Drawbacks To Lowering a Truck When It Comes To Towing? 1. You Could Bottom Out More

Lowering a truck essentially means lowering its suspension so that it sits lower to the ground. While this can benefit its center of gravity to boost its traction and make it less likely for rollovers, it [...]

Four-wheel-drive, also known as 4×4, is the hallmark of a vehicle built for off-road performance and on-road safety, and it has also become synonymous with the Jeep brand.

In fact, Jeep has become very much the king of four-wheel-drive manufacturers, with the Jeep Wrangler being crowned “4×4 of The Decade” and the Jeep Grand Cherokee picking up the title of “the most awarded SUV ever.”

To help you get the most out of your award-winning four-wheel-drive Jeep, we’ll be looking at the different types of four-wheel-drive and when to use them.

All-Wheel-Drive Is Not Four-Wheel-Drive

Before we get started, it is important to point out that all-wheel-drive (AWD) and four-wheel-drive are not the same things. Four-wheel-drive is usually a selectable system designed to give better performance on broken terrain in low grip road conditions.

All-wheel-drive is a computer-controlled system that provides power to all four wheels at once and is always on. The computer, called [...]

Modifications go with the rugged and customizable Jeep like chocolate goes with peanut butter and it doesn’t tend to take much time before new Jeep owners start thinking about what upgrades they might be able to have fitted.

This real question is where do you start?

To help you get to grips with what upgrades are available for your Jeep, we’ve put together this guide that breaks them down into two categories, cosmetic and off-road, and then gives you the details you need to pick out your first modification.

Cosmetic Modifications

Cosmetic upgrades tend to make your Jeep look better or add a layer of functionality that keeps your Jeep looking pristine. Some of the more common cosmetic modifications include:

A 1-3” Lift Kit

While lift kits are normally associated with off-roading, a 1-3” body lift kit doesn’t really give you the clearance you need for real off-roading. The benefit of a body lift kit [...]

Lifting a Jeep is a complex procedure with a lot of working parts. When it’s done right, you can expect a lifted Jeep to have better pulling power, a greater capacity to off-road because of its increased clearance, and the ability to use a much larger set of off-road tires.

If it’s done improperly, a lift kit can result in a so-called “death wobble”, where the front axle of your Jeep tries to sheer away from the track bar, or a distinct loosening in your steering. The best way to avoid these issues is to have some idea about what you need from your lift kit going in.

Why Are You Lifting Your Jeep?

The first step on your road to lifting your Jeep is [...]

Choosing the right lift kit height is critical to maintaining the comfort, ride quality, and utility of your truck.

Depending on your choice of lift height, your lift kit might be as simple as spacer blocks between the body and the frame, or complicated enough to require replacement components to ensure you vehicle’s suspension geometry still works.

Picking out the right lift kit height means you’ll need to know a little bit more about how certain lift heights will affect your vehicle’s performance and what they are generally used for.

To help you, we’ve written this short guide to the different lift heights, so you’ve got all the information you need to make the correct choice.

Why Lift Your Vehicle

The primary reasons for installing a lift kit on a vehicle are aesthetics, how it looks, or for more practical purposes, such as to improve towing or off-road performance.

Lifted Truck vs. Lowered Truck: Which Is Better?

Have you ever been driving down the highway and been rumbled past by a lifted F150 monstrosity where the driver was sitting a full five feet above you? What about spotting a lowered pickup so close to the ground that it’s struggling to get over the speed bumps in the local Walmart parking lot?

Ever wondered why people would go to all the effort to jack their trucks up or down to such an extent, and what the benefits might be?

Well, good news! We’re here to answer your questions and to finally put to rest which is better, a lifted truck or a lowered truck.

Why Lift Your Truck?

Both lifting and lowering can be done for cosmetic purposes. Some people just prefer the look of a truck that has had its ride height significantly altered. However, out of the two options, lifting a truck can [...]

It’s been eight years since Fiat Chrysler Automobiles discontinued the Dodge Dakota and Jeep hasn’t produced a pickup truck since the XJ-based Comanche two-door bit the dust back in 1992.

So when Jeep announced they were creating a new pickup based on the hugely popular Jeep Wrangler JL, and gave us a sneak peek at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show, it would be fair to say that we got a little excited.

The new Jeep Gladiator keeps all the things you loved about the Wrangler and adds a roomy 5-foot bed, fierce off-road performance, tremendous towing power, and enough bells and whistles to keep any truck-head happy. You can even get a lifted Jeep Gladiator.

So if you are looking to a midsize pickup truck with a single cab configuration and have been anxiously waiting to find out if Jeep’s new baby is the truck for you, then your waiting is over! Here is [...]

It is very common to have questions about the warranty on your lifted truck. After all, warranties are incredibly useful as they save you significant money during the first few years of vehicle ownership. But the fine print in warranties means that they can be voided in certain situations. Before you buy a lifted truck or consider modifying your own vehicle, be sure that you understand the crucial warranty information so there are no surprises.

Adding a Lift Kit Voids the Manufacturer’s Warranty

Before you do anything, keep in mind that if you add a lift kit to a new truck that you bought, this will void the warranty. This is the case for every truck on the market, regardless of the lift kit that you choose to install. Even if you are a mechanic with decades of experience, completing a lift kit installation yourself will void the warranty. Do not do it unless you [...]

Lifted RAM 2500 Trucks Rocky Ridge Lifted RAM 2500 Trucks All the Rocky Ridge Lifted RAM 2500 trucks start off with the heavy-duty RAM 2500 and include their own heavy-duty packages. Each of these is a custom upfit with your choice of features and styling. There are four different packages available from Rocky Ridge for the RAM 2500: the Altitude, the K2, the Stealth XL, and the Stealth. Each of those packages starts with the previously mentioned suspension lift kit to give you that extra ride height. Usually, that is six inches of lift. Rocky Ridge makes the necessary adjustments to the stock RAM 2500 parts to ensure everything functions as it should with the new lift with features like a brake-line relocation bracket. There are also some bonus features, such as Rocky Ridge crossmembers and special rear shocks, depending on the package.

Can I add a Rocky Ridge package to a vehicle I have already purchased? Absolutely, as long as your vehicle is under 2 years of age and has less than 25,000 miles, we can still install a lifted truck package on your existing vehicle.
