That’s an excellent question! In general, the benefits of owning a lifted
Ford Explorer
include such things as an increased towing capacity, better view of the road, and easier navigation over uneven or rough terrain—so if those sound beneficial to you, keep reading!
If you decide to lift your Ford Explorer, you can do so in one of two ways, either by lifting the suspension or the vehicle body itself—or both, if you really feel like it. This will allow you to install larger wheels and makes the undercarriage much more accessible for maintenance and repairs.
Of course, a lifted Ford Explorer isn’t without drawbacks—you’ll need to be aware of the following disadvantages:
  • Decreased fuel efficiency
  • Potential loss of warranty
  • Higher chance of vehicle rollover
Now that you know the pros and cons of lifting your Ford Explorer, you can make a more informed decision on whether or not to purchase that lift kit!
