There is nothing like driving around in a truck with a big lift, when speed bumps are indistinguishable from freshly laid asphalt, and driving over a Miata hardly threatens to spill the coffee in your travel mug. Whether you want to flirt with those yellow bars that hang from parking structure ceilings, or to slog through your local bog, lift kits and components are what help you reach the proper cruising altitude. Read on for a round up of some of the products available for your Ford, Chevy, Nissan, Dodge, and Nissan pickups.
Springtime For Chevy While you have your Chevy S-10 on the lift installing a few more inches of airspace, you might want to swap out your leaf springs. Eaton Detroit Spring has replacement leaf springs and attaching hardware that are a direct bolt-on with rubber or urethane bushings for almost every S-10 incarnation. In fact, the company can produce custom springs for almost any truck built from 1902 and later. Its springs are made of high-alloy SAE 5160 spring steel and are made in the USA.
