Off-Road Fitment & Buying Guides for Lift Kits, Wheels, & Suspension

The industry standard for budget lifts is the Lift Block. While blocks achieve height, they increase the distance between the axle and the leaf spring. This creates an increased 'leverage arm' that leads to Axle Wrap. Under high torque, common in tuned Diesel applications, the axle attempts to rotate, twisting the leaf springs into an 'S' shape. This causes wheel hop and premature U-joint failure. The solution is a full replacement leaf pack, such as the Carli Suspension 2017-2024 Ford HD Leaf Spring Kit. By using a progressive spring rate to achieve lift, you keep the axle physically closer to the spring's main leaf. This drastically reduces wrap and provides a linear 'spring curve' for superior small-bump compliance.

A clear breakdown of how bigger tires affect steering, alignment, braking, gearing, and suspension geometry — and what to fix for proper drivability.

A clear breakdown of how caster, camber, toe, and steering geometry change after lifting a truck — and why lifted trucks need different alignment specs.
