An aftermarket modification package designed to elevate the chassis of a specific sport utility vehicle, the Jeep Cherokee, above its factory ride height. These packages typically consist of springs, shocks, and related hardware necessary to achieve the desired increase in ground clearance and accommodate larger tires. For example, a 3-inch system for a Cherokee XJ increases off-road capability.
Installation of such a system offers multiple advantages, including improved clearance for navigating challenging terrain, enhanced vehicle aesthetics, and the capacity to use larger, more aggressive tires. Historically, these systems evolved from simple suspension modifications intended for off-road racing to more sophisticated and refined packages for recreational off-road use and aesthetic enhancements. The result is both a more capable and visually distinctive vehicle.
