Lift Springs

Does your 4x4 or SUV lack the ground clearance for bigger tyres or tougher terrain? Lift springs give you more room underneath. We stock coil springs, add-a-leaf kits for leaf springs and universal coilover springs, with options for e.g. the Jeep Wrangler, Toyota Tacoma and Audi Q5.

Coil springs, add-a-leaf or coilover springs?

The vehicle sits higher because the original springs are replaced or supplemented. Coil springs replace the existing ones at the front or rear, e.g. Skyjacker springs for the rear of the Jeep Wrangler JL with 3.5-4 inches of lift. Add-a-leaf is an extra leaf in the leaf spring pack and is available for e.g. the Ford F-350 and Toyota Tacoma. H&R offers Adventure springs for e.g. the Audi Q5 and Kia Sorento. If you want to go lower instead, you'll find lowering springs here.

How to choose lift springs

• Suspension type: Coil springs, add-a-leaf or universal coilover springs, which are chosen by diameter, length and spring rate, e.g. 2.5 x 12 inches and 300 lb.
• Lift height: More lift can change driveshaft and steering angles and may require longer shock absorbers.
• Spring rate and load: Stiffer springs can carry more accessories but can make the ride harsher. Dual rate springs work with two spring rates through the travel.
• Fitment: Check model year, drivetrain and body style, as several products are tied to e.g. 4WD or a specific cab variant.

Installation and maintenance

Coil springs are under high tension and should only be handled with a suitable spring compressor. Measure ride height before and after, and have the wheel alignment checked. With add-a-leaf, the U-bolts are typically re-torqued after the first few miles. We also carry Superlift, Tuff Country and Synergy Mfg. If you want to keep the stock height, see replacement springs or all suspension springs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between add-a-leaf and coil lift springs?

Add-a-leaf is an extra leaf fitted into an existing leaf spring pack, providing lift by increasing the arch of the pack. Coil springs replace the original springs entirely. Which type you need depends on your vehicle's suspension.

Does the vehicle need an inspection after fitting lift springs?

It depends on the vehicle, lift height and product. Changed ride height may require inspection and documentation, so check the rules and paperwork for the specific part number before you install.

Why does the vehicle sit lower than the stated lift height?

The stated height typically applies to a specific weight. Heavy accessories such as steel bumpers, winches or permanent cargo can compress the springs further. Measure the height before installation and again after a few hundred kilometres.
