Your truck is likely a significant purchase for you, and a great GMC truck will last you many years, which means it is important to get exactly what you need from your pickup. No matter what you want from your truck, whether you need something that can go off-road or want a pickup designed to tow massive amounts of weight, you deserve to have your vehicle perfectly match what you are looking for. If you are interested in hitting the trail or reaching work sites well beyond the reach of paved roads, then lifted GMC trucks can be the perfect solution to deliver what you require.
A lifted truck can give you improved performance on the trail, but if a lift kit is installed improperly, it can be incredibly dangerous or damage your truck. Here at Rick Hendrick Buick GMC Duluth, we carry many GMC trucks that come with a factory lift installed for improved ground clearance, and we can assist you with getting a kit installed to lift your truck. There are many different reasons for installing a lift onto your truck, and knowing what you want is the key to getting the right type of kit installed. Come visit us at Rick Hendrick Buick GMC Duluth today to discuss your options, and we can help you get just what you need.
GMC offers a remarkable lineup of trucks, so no matter what you are looking for in a pickup, it has you covered with at least one great option. Not only do you have several models available when looking at GMC trucks, but you know they will deliver impressive power with rich interiors for you to enjoy. As a part of General Motors, GMC shares a lot of engineering and architecture with Chevy but has interior features and options that lean more toward the luxurious side. This means you get a truck that has been designed to handle anything you need and comfort and tech features that cannot be beaten.
If you are interested in a midsize truck, then the new GMC Canyon is a great choice with a wide range of options for you to enjoy. The latest Canyon models are purpose-built for extreme off-road adventures with powerful turbocharged engines and factory lift kits. Moving up the ladder, you have the remarkable GMC Sierra 1500, a half-ton pickup that delivers a wide range of trims and features. Whether you are looking for a dedicated work truck designed to be part of a professional fleet or want a personal pickup that can help you get your job done throughout the week and enjoy your time off, there is a new GMC Sierra for you. If you need something with even greater power, then the Sierra HD models can give you more muscle and capability.
The full benefits of any lifted truck depend greatly on the type of lift that a pickup has, which we will get into later. Lifting a truck adds ground clearance, which is vital on the trail, and improves the vehicle's looks. The simplest type of lift is called a leveling kit and is designed to balance the front and rear suspension on a pickup so that one end is not higher than the other. This sort of lift is not absolutely essential, but if you like the look of a truck that is flat and even rather than being raised in the rear, it can be a great choice.
Some people choose a lifted GMC truck for purely aesthetic reasons, enjoying the overall look of a pickup that has been lifted higher from how it would normally ride. However, a suspension lift is usually chosen by drivers looking to physically raise the vehicle higher from the ground, increasing ground clearance and improving approach, breakover, and departure angles. A lift kit can also give you more room in the wheel wells, allowing you to install larger wheels and tires on your truck. If you like to go off-road and tackle particularly challenging trails with a lot of obstacles, then a lifted truck can empower you to go wherever you desire.
If you are considering a lifted truck, then it is important that you understand all of the different options available to you. One of the simplest ways to get a great lifted pickup without having to worry about whether the lift was installed properly is to go with a model that includes a factory lift. This is not something that is available from every manufacturer or on every model, but it makes it easy to get what you want and know the work was done properly.
The top options for getting a factory-installed lift from GMC are the Sierra 1500 AT4 and AT4X. Although you can find AT4 trims with an off-road focus on other GMC models, including the Sierra HD pickups, the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 includes an off-road suspension with a two-inch factory lift giving it over 11 inches of ground clearance. The GMC Canyon offers a standard two-inch factory lift, with the Canyon AT4X providing a three-inch lift for over 10 inches of ground clearance.
If you are interested in outstanding off-road performance and excellent ground clearance, consider the GMC Hummer EV Pickup. This is an all-electric model with some of the latest and most impressive features available from GMC. The Hummer EV Pickup does not technically have a lifted suspension, but the available Adaptive Air Suspension can automatically adjust its ride height to improve ground clearance. With Extract Mode activated, the Hummer EV Pickup has 15.9 inches of clearance, letting it pass over almost any obstacle imaginable.
Factory-installed lifts are not your only option, however, since you can also install a lift kit onto your truck after you buy it. With a body lift kit, you can have the body raised off the frame of your pickup, allowing for larger tires but not necessarily increasing ground clearance. On the other hand, a suspension lift changes your suspension and can greatly improve your truck's ground clearance, letting it pass over pretty much anything on the trail. However, this alters the handling of your pickup, and such kits must be installed correctly to avoid damaging your truck. Let the skilled technicians at our truck service center help you figure out the right lift kit for what you need and handle the installation so that you know the work is done properly and safely.
Lifted trucks can provide a wide range of benefits, but it is important that you drive carefully and fully appreciate how they can change the handling of your vehicle. Here at Rick Hendrick Buick GMC Duluth, we are committed to helping our customers with everything they need. Whether you are looking to buy a pickup with a factory-installed lift or want us to install an aftermarket kit in your current truck, we are here for you.
