Frequently Asked Questions

Magness Performance Designs installs lift kits right here in Beaufort, SC, and has been doing it for over 15 years. Whether you drive a truck, Jeep, or SUV, the shop handles everything from basic leveling kits to full suspension lifts with the experience to back it up.

A leveling kit raises the front of your vehicle to match the height of the rear, typically adding one to two inches, while a full lift kit raises the entire vehicle — front and rear — for greater ground clearance and the ability to run larger tires. The right choice depends on your goals, your vehicle, and how you plan to use it.

Depending on the lift height, additional components like control arms or extended brake lines may also be recommended to keep everything working correctly and safely.

The most important factors are your vehicle's make and model, how much lift you want, and how you plan to use the vehicle — daily driving, off-roading, or both. Those three things determine which kit is compatible, what tire sizes become possible, and what additional suspension work may be needed.
