What are the pros and cons of a lifted Audi?
I just read a great article about an Audi owner in California who lifted his Audi A4—it looks fantastic! Now, I’m considering doing the same with my SUV. What are the pros and cons of a lifted Audi?

Lifting an Audi A4 can make it much more sporty and rugged! If you’re considering a lifted
Audi
, here’s what you should think about:Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Higher ground clearance | Difficulty getting into the vehicle |
Increased visibility | Decreased handling ability, especially on turns |
Able to use larger rims/tires | Poorer gas mileage |
Aesthetic appeal (looks great!) | Cost |
Keep in mind—if your SUV is still under warranty, installing a lift kit may just void it. Be sure to check.
There are various ways to lift your SUV, including:
- Leveling kits. These are placed on the front end of your SUV or truck, to raise it just a bit to meet the level of the rear end, which tends to be a bit higher normally.
- Coil lift kits. These kits include longer coil springs that will raise the vehicle by a few inches.
- Body lift kits. As the name implies, this requires a mechanic to actually unbolt the body from the frame, install spacers, and then reattach the body to the frame. It does not always result in an attractive look, however.
- Suspension lifts. The most expensive alternative, they allow a driver to lift a vehicle almost as high as they want to. For example, Monster trucks at car shows are often tricked out with suspension lift kits.
Best wishes on your research into lifting your ride!
Most SUV and truck owners do research before installing a lift kit. You have to determine which system is optimal for your vehicle and then decide whether you want it professionally installed.
While you’re at it, in addition to researching lift kits, why not conduct some research on current
car insurance
