Eco lift vs. Full Lift kit

Eco Lifts vs. Full Lift Kits: A Comprehensive Comparison

Eco Lifts

What Are Eco Lifts?

Eco lifts, also known as leveling kits, offer a modest increase in ride height. Here are the key points:

  1. Purpose: Eco lifts are primarily designed to level the front and rear of your vehicle. They compensate for factory rake (where the front sits lower than the rear) and provide a more balanced appearance.
  2. Ground Clearance: Eco lifts provide minimal additional ground clearance—usually between 2 and 3 inches.
  3. Tire Fitment: They allow slightly larger tires but aren’t ideal for extreme off-road use.
  4. On-Road Performance: Eco lifts maintain a comfortable on-road ride, similar to stock suspension.
  5. Off-Road Limitations: While suitable for light off-road trails, eco lifts lack the articulation and travel needed for challenging terrain.

When to Choose Eco Lifts:

  • If you want a level stance.
  • If you’re mainly driving on highways or mild trails.
  • If you’re not planning aggressive off-road adventures.

Full Lift Kits (Lift Junkie Range)

What Are Full Lift Kits?

Full lift kits provide substantial lift and enhance both on-road and off-road capabilities:

  1. Lift Range: Full lift kits can raise your vehicle by 3 to 12 inches, depending on the kit.
  2. Ground Clearance: Significantly increased ground clearance allows you to tackle rugged terrain confidently.
  3. Tire Upgrades: Full lift kits accommodate larger tires, improving traction and grip.
  4. Off-Road Performance: These kits excel off-road, offering better articulation, shock absorption, and stability.
  5. Components: A complete kit includes springs, shocks, control arms, sway bars, and other components.
  6. Customization: Some kits allow fine-tuning for specific off-road scenarios (rock crawling, mud, etc.).

Benefits of Full Lift Kits:

  • Versatility: Full lift kits adapt to various off-road conditions.
  • Improved Approach and Departure Angles: Better clearance for obstacles.
  • Enhanced Suspension Travel: Smoother ride over rough terrain.
  • Aggressive Look: Full lift kits give your ute an imposing stance.

Conclusion

While eco lifts suit casual drivers and those seeking a leveled appearance, full lift kits like our Lift Junkie range are the go-to choice for serious off-roaders. Consider your needs, driving style, and adventure level when making your decision.
