How Much Does it Cost to Lift a Truck?

Many Chevy Silverado and Colorado owners in Coon Rapids and St Paul choose to lift their trucks for multiple reasons, with the primary reason being increased ground clearance. Having a greater clearance allows for better visibility, off-roading performance, and towing. If you’ve never lifted your truck before, you might be wondering, “How much does it cost to lift a truck?” Because there are different ways to lift a truck, the cost to lift a truck varies. We break down the costs for these different types in the guide below:

The Costs of Lift Kits & Installation

So, how much is it to lift a truck? As we already emphasized, it depends. There are several different types of lift kits. If you’re looking for the most affordable options, leveling kits, and body kits can range anywhere from $100 to $500. Though, if you’re looking to raise your Silverado’s suspension and improve off-roading performance, you’ll need a suspension kit. Suspension kits come with a heftier price tag and can range anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000. Don’t forget to factor installation into the equation. Having a professional installation can take anywhere from 4 to 5 hours. This can take even longer if you do it yourself.

Lift Kits vs. Levelling Kits

So, what is the difference between the various types of lift kits?

Leveling Kits

Leveling kits are used to balance out any differences in your truck suspension. Because leveling kits can increase ground clearance by 1 to 2 inches, they can also be used as lift kits by drivers in Minneapolis who only need a small boost in height.

Lift Kits

Unlike leveling kits, lift kits can raise your Chevy truck’s ground clearance by 2 inches to more than 6 inches. While lift-kits are mostly used to enhance off-roading and towing performance, they’re also often used for “aesthetic purposes.” Having a higher ground clearance results in a more daunting, bold appearance.

Body Lifts vs. Suspension Lifts

If you’ve settled on a lift kit vs. a leveling kit, you can augment your truck further by choosing between a body lift and a suspension lift. A body lift simply raises the body of your vehicle and allows for larger tires without having to make modifications to the structure of your truck. Suspension lifts are on the extreme end of lifts and involve significant changes to your pickup’s design. If you plan on doing a suspension lift, we highly recommend using Chevy OEM parts to preserve performance.
