Lifted Trucks what are they?

Simply put, a lifted truck is a vehicle whose suspension has been modified in order to lift the body higher off the ground. Although any type of vehicle can technically be lifted, this feature is most commonly seen on pickup trucks and large SUVs. While after-market modifications can be made to lift a standard pickup truck or SUV, if you are interested in driving a lifted truck, it is best to purchase a truck that is already lifted to ensure that all of the modifications have been properly made. This will allow you to enjoy driving your lifted truck without problems for many years.

Due to the modifications made to the suspension, other changes must also be made so that the vehicle can perform and function well. Larger, heavy duty tires are necessary to lift the body off the ground. Because these wheels are larger and have more mass, the braking system requires modification to ensure that the vehicle can be stopped safely. The drive shaft and drop down bracket must be adapted in order for the driver to be able to steer the vehicle. Special leaf and coil springs are required to provide a smooth and comfortable ride no matter where you go.

Lifted Trucks – The Benefits

The biggest benefit to driving a lifted truck is its off-road performance. Lifted trucks are second to none for off-roading capabilities. Thanks to the higher ground clearance, you can drive a lifted truck almost anywhere without having to worry about scraping the undercarriage.

Another benefit to owning a lifted truck is the aesthetic value. Your truck will truly be one of a kind and people will notice it everywhere you go. Plus, you will never have trouble locating your vehicle in a parking lot ever again.

Things to Know Before Purchasing a Lifted Truck

While there are tons of benefits to driving a lifted truck, there are a few things you should know before making your decision. Because the truck’s added height changes the aerodynamics, lifted trucks usually get lower gas mileage than their standard height counterparts. Depending on the truck’s height, you may need to avoid areas with low clearance, such as a parking deck or restaurant drive-through.

Activities You Can Do in a Lifted Truck

When you own a lifted truck, you have to try off-roading. Driving around in the great outdoors is one of the most thrilling things you could ever do. With the impressive power and handling capabilities of your lifted truck, you will really feel like you can go anywhere and do anything. But you don’t have to save your truck only for off road driving. Lifted trucks can also be driven on the road and highways, meaning you can use this vehicle for your everyday commute, errands, and travel.

Where to Purchase a Lifted Truck

If you are ready to purchase a lifted truck, Burlington Chevrolet has the largest lifted truck inventory in the region. You can browse the online inventory to see what lifted truck models, colors, and features are currently available. Burlington Chevrolet is located at 105 E Rt 130 South in Burlington, NJ. The dealership is open from 9 am to 9 pm, Monday through Friday, and from 9 am to 5 pm on Saturday.

Off-road your lifted truck at Whartons State Park

Open year round, this is a prime spot to find a stretch of land to unleash your lifted truck on. Plan to spend more than one day because there are campgrounds to tempt your outdoor spirit.

Butterfly Bogs

Known as a wildlife management area, it is located in Jackson, NJ.

Pine Barrens and Ft. Dix

Often also referred to as the Pines, or Pinelands, is a lengthy swatch of land that runs across seven different counties. Heavily wooded, it gives you a great run to enjoy. The land butts against Ft.Dix and provides a great opportunity to get down and dirty.

Bass River

another state forest, which gives you a chance to camp as well. It is smaller than Whartons, but some prefer the terrain to its larger counterpart.

Local Lifted Truck Clubs and Organizations

Another great option to consider is to contact some of the local 4X4 clubs who will often make arrangements with private land owners to utilize their property. This also gives you a chance to get involved with other people who share your same outdoor passion.

New Jersey provides you with a number of different locations to off road. Sometimes it is just a matter of talking to the right person to discover those hidden gems that get your blood pumping. Be careful of the regions which you are planning to off road in because it is illegal in some areas.

As with any off-road adventure, drive safety and cautiously when in the same area as hikers and wildlife to prevent unwanted accidents and possible tragedy from occurring.

Lifted Trucks Buying Guide – Brakes and Tires

By raising the truck’s chassis, more room is provided for large size tires and wheels. These permit the truck to drive over bumpy terrain without harming the vehicle’s under-body. Yet large trucks can’t be raised and driven safely until their brakes are modified. Why? The reason is pretty simple. Larger tires and wheels have much more mass that will need stronger and larger brakes in order to allow the vehicle to safely come to a complete stop. Make sure that the lifted truck has modified brakes with larger than normal rotors and calipers that are capable of stopping the truck in a reasonable distance.

Also, consider whether the tires that are currently on the truck are suitable for what you’ll be using it for. Lifted truck tires need to be specialized to fit the driver’s unique plans for the vehicle. Whether the driver will be using the vehicle for rock climbing, regular road travel, racing, or for use in sandy or water-filled areas, will determine the type of tires that need to be put on the truck.

Drive Shaft

A lifted truck’s drive shaft length and angle need to be adapted so that the modified truck operates properly. A typical truck’s universal joint is constructed with a pinion angle of 1 to 3 degrees. A lifted truck’s differential pinion should not have an angle that exceeds 2.50 degrees. The vehicle’s slip travel of differential should lie between three quarters of an inch and an inch in order to compensate for the truck’s significant "give and take."

Lifted Trucks Buying Guide – Perform a Thorough Inspection

Drivers in the market for a lifted truck need to perform an exhaustive inspection of the vehicle just like they would with any other pre-owned automobile. Don’t be afraid to ask the dealer who owned the truck and how often it was used for off-road purposes. Ask what kind of lift it is, who installed it and if there have been any problems with it. Most lifted trucks are bought used so bring along a flash light and inspect the truck for crusted mud in the vehicle’s nooks and crannies. This will give the lifted truck shopper an idea of how much off-roading the truck has endured. Be sure to check the truck’s U-joints, idler arm, half shafts and bearings.

Shoppers should be a bit concerned about lift blocks on the truck’s rear axle as it is a tell that a cheap lift kit is being used. The best lift kits have fairly new if not brand new arched springs with suitable length to prevent odd shackle angles. Be sure to check the truck’s fluids including the dipstick’s level, its color and whether there is water in it. Also, examine the anti-freeze for the presence of oil. Finally, take the inspection to the road and see how the lifted truck performs on a bumpy terrain. Pay close attention to any noises that it makes, if there are any leaks, and how responsive the steering is.

So long as these metrics are met, vehicles can be equipped with suspension lift kids, aftermarket wheels and tires, performance shocks, aftermarket bumpers and grille guards. Here is a primer for what you need to know about how to make sure your vehicle meets the lifted truck laws in Pennsylvania.

Dimensions: One of the biggest points of contention for truck owners is a trucks dimension. In Pennsylvania, the maximum vehicle width is 96 inches. For height, the maximum is 13 feet 6 inches. Maximum vehicle length for any single vehicle is 40 feet.

Wheels & Tires: Another point for regulation for Pennsylvania’s street legality laws is that your wheels have to be equipped with rubber wheels that are compatible with the tires that are mounted on them. The minim tread depth on any tires needs to be 2/32 inches. Also tire grooving is not allowed below the tread depth.

Brakes: Your brakes must be functional on all four wheels to be road compliant. Vehicles less than 10,000 pounds have got to be able to stop from a speed of 20 mph within 25 feet. A mechanical parking brake, which is separate from the floor brake, is also required.

Suspension: For lift laws in Pennsylvania, you are not allowed to have front lift blocks on your truck. Rear lift blocks can’t exceed 5 inches over your original equipment.

Frame: Another thing you need to be mindful of when you are thinking about the Pennsylvania lift laws is the frame. If you alter the vehicle’s bumper height, relative to the frame height, then you can’t elevate the frame in excess of its original factory bumper height. Your frame and your body must also be in "good" condition.

Bumpers: The amount of your bumper height is actually dictated by your vehicles GVWR.

• If you are dealing with a car or an SUV, the maximum bumper height is 22 inches for the front and rear.
• If your truck is less than 5001 lbs. then it’s 24 inches in the front and 26 inches in the rear.
• From 5001 to 7000 the height is limited to 27 inches in the front and 29 in the rear.
• If the weight is 7001 to 9000 then the height is limited to 28 inches in the front and 30 inches in the rear.
• If it’s 9001 to 11000 then the maximum is 30 inches in the front and rear.

There are further requirements for your vehicles fenders, lights, window, exhaust, engines, and of course emissions. These laws are always changing so make sure to see the Pennsylvania DMV for all of the latest information about your vehicles compliance.

Chevy Silverado 2500HD

With its "HD" status, the Silverado 2500HD should be expected to offer heavy duty performance and significant power for hauling and towing tasks. The Silverado 2500HD offers buyers a few options to choose from, with the vehicle coming in regular, crew, or extended cab designs. The vehicle comes standard with a V8 engine featuring 360 horsepower and a torque measurement of 380 pound-feet.

Chevy Avalanche

In reviews, the Chevy Avalanche tends to rank lower than the Silverado 1500 or 2500HD. Pros of the vehicles design such as a long list of various features that come standard and a spacious interior or slightly offset by the poor visibility that the vehicle offers and the sometimes inferior quality of some of the interior equipment in the vehicle. The Chevy Avalanche comes standard with a V8 engine and a six-speed transmission.
