What is a lift kit?
A lift kit is an additional component to your suspension, which increases your vehicle’s ride height, wheel travel, load capacity, and overall suspension performance. Lift kits are matched specifically to your vehicle type, model, and the terrain it will be tackling. Typically, a lift kit will include coil or leaf springs, longer travel shocks, and fitting components.
When choosing a lift kit for your vehicle, make sure you have it ordered and fitted by a professional service such as Harv’s Tyres. We give you peace of mind knowing you have the very best lift kit for your specific vehicle and that everything is installed safely to our high standards.

What are the Benefits of a Suspension Lift Kit?
The biggest benefit of a lift kit is that it will improve your vehicle’s 4WD capabilities and allow you to carry greater loads. This can be useful if you often go camping or off-roading as it allows your vehicle to travel on rougher terrain and increases its ground clearance significantly.
Increased Ride Height To Tackle Off-Road Terrain
A 2-inch lift kit allows you to have a higher ground clearance to drive in places normal suspension height may not permit. Increasing your car’s ride height also means you will be able to fit larger diameter tyres. This is because the wheel arches are elevated and have additional room.
Better Control On Unsealed Roads
Finding the correct suspension lift kit for your car and the terrain you intend to drive it in will increase its control and drivability. This will give you assurance that when you take your vehicle off-road it will be able to cope with the conditions.
Improved Load Carrying Capacity
Vehicles used for camping or off-roading often have additional accessories fitted to them. This added weight to your 4WD will affect its factory standard suspension. To counteract this, your vehicle could benefit from a suspension lift kit to increase its height again and improve load carrying capacity.
Additional Wheel Travel
Wheel travel is the distance a wheel can move up and down before your suspension bottoms out. When you install a lift kit on your vehicle, you automatically increase the wheel travel distance. This means when driving in tough terrain the wheels are more likely to have contact with the ground.

Harv's Tyres Lift Kit Process
Planning
We discuss your vehicle type, where you will be driving, and the types of terrain you drive on. This helps us to identify a suspension lift kit to suit your lifestyle and vehicle.
Recommendation
Once we have identified what you need to achieve with your new lift kit, we recommend the right combination that will allow you to meet your driving needs.
Installation
Our experienced team remove your existing suspension and fit your new lift kit. The installation process involves the replacement of all suspension components, including your springs and shock absorbers.
Initial Wheel Alignment
We recommend a wheel alignment at the time your new suspension lift kit is installed. Many people avoid doing this until after the suspension has ‘settled’ over hundreds to thousands of kilometres. However, this often causes tyres to wear unevenly at a rapid rate and should be avoided.
FREE Suspension Check and Wheel Alignment
To keep your new lift kit performing at its best, we offer a free suspension check and wheel alignment 5000kms after installation This allows us to reassess the effectiveness of your suspension lift kit and ensure it is operating at peak performance.
