When it comes to choosing the right lift size for your vehicle, it ultimately depends on your intended use and personal preferences. For those who enjoy a combination of off-roading and daily driving, a lift of 2-3 inches is generally recommended. This size strikes a balance, providing improved ground clearance without compromising everyday drivability.
On the other hand, if you plan to tackle more extreme terrains, a lift of 4-6 inches may be more suitable. This larger lift offers enhanced capability for challenging conditions, but it’s important to note that it might affect your vehicle's daily drivability.
When considering the installation of a lift kit for your vehicle, it's important to note that it may impact your warranty, depending on your manufacturer's policy. We recommend consulting with your dealership or warranty provider before proceeding with any modifications.
We understand that lifting your 4x4 and adding larger tires can impact fuel efficiency, primarily due to increased wind resistance and the additional weight of larger tires. However, with our expertise, we can help mitigate these effects through proper alignment and tuning.
When selecting tire sizes for your vehicle, it's essential to consider both the model and year to ensure optimal performance on your off-road adventures. For many stock Jeeps and trucks, fitting a tire size between 31 and 33 inches is usually achievable without the need for a lift. However, we always recommend verifying the clearance to prevent any rubbing or suspension issues that could hinder your trail experience.
When upgrading to larger tires, it's important to note that your speedometer might become inaccurate. At Off Road Innovations, we provide recalibration devices designed to ensure your speedometer and odometer reflect accurate readings even with your new tire size.
When upgrading your vehicle's tires, especially with oversized options, it's crucial to pair them with the right wheels to ensure optimal performance. Properly matching the wheel width and offset not only enhances your vehicle's performance but also ensures adequate clearance to prevent any rubbing issues off-road.

If you're experiencing the notorious Death Wobble in your vehicle, a steering stabilizer can provide temporary relief, but it’s crucial to understand that it is not a long-term solution. The underlying issues are typically tied to key components such as ball joints, control arms, or track bars. Addressing these root causes is essential for a safe and smooth off-road experience.

If you've recently installed a lift and are noticing handling issues or increased play in your steering, it may signal that your stock steering components are insufficient for your new setup. We can assess your current setup and recommend appropriate upgrades.
A standard alignment usually takes between 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on your vehicle's specific needs and any additional adjustments that may be required. We invite you to relax in our waiting area while we take care of your vehicle, ensuring it’s ready for your next adventure.
To ensure timely service for your vehicle, especially if it has modifications such as a lift kit or oversized tires, we recommend scheduling an appointment with Off Road Innovations.
We understand that after lifting or modifying your suspension, a precise alignment is essential to ensure optimal wheel angles. However, addressing handling issues may involve further adjustments to key components such as track bars, control arms, and tie rods.
When lifting your vehicle more than three inches, it's crucial to consider the impact on your driveshaft. An increase in lift height often necessitates a longer or adjustable driveshaft to prevent binding and ensure optimal performance with the new suspension geometry.
At Off Road Innovations, we understand the importance of ensuring your driveshaft is compatible with your lifted suspension. By measuring the angles and lengths of your current driveshaft, we can determine if it's suitable for your setup. Should you experience excessive vibration or binding, we may recommend a new driveshaft to optimize your ride.
