One of the best ways to bring out your Jeep Wrangler’s true off-road potential is by installing a reliable leveling kit. With a leveling kit, you can raise your vehicle’s height by a few inches and make your Jeep more capable of overcoming difficult types of trails. Fortunately, ExtremeTerrain has a growing selection of leveling kits, so you can choose the best type for your Jeep. Leveling kits often include basic suspension components such as spacers. Spacers are round, small devices that are often made of heavy-duty steel or polyethylene. With their strong construction, they are able to lift and support your vehicle without compressing or breaking. The Jeep Wrangler leveling kits in our catalog provide 0.75 to 3 inches of lift, making them perfect for light to moderate off-roading. Leveling kits are also perfect in correcting your Jeep’s rake. With the increased height they offer, they help even out your vehicle’s stance and prevent its ends from sagging. Some of our leveling kits also come with shocks. With these components, you don’t have to worry about getting uncomfortable on off-road rides. Lifting your vehicle to a certain height can affect the ride quality. But with aftermarket shocks with excellent damping capabilities, you’re guaranteed to experience less dizzying rides. ExtremeTerrain strives hard to be your favorite and reliable one-stop shop for all your Jeep upgrades. That’s why aside from leveling kits, we also offer transmission parts for your Jeep Wrangler. With our high-quality transmission parts, you can keep your drivetrain in excellent condition. Meanwhile, we also have different backup camera systems to reduce your blind spots and have a safer drive.
