In addition to being extremely popular as new vehicles, Jeeps are very popular used vehicles, and they hold value better than many other trucks.
This is especially true concerning Jeeps modified with aftermarket parts and accessories, and lifted Jeeps for sale are always hot sellers.
Many people love the Jeep for its aesthetic qualities, and the dominant appearance of the lifted Jeep draws them like moths to a flame.
However, those in the market for a used truck and considering lifted Jeeps for sale should consider the disadvantages as well as the advantages before taking the plunge.
If one's only reason for buying a lifted Jeep is that they see it as a means for self-expression and uniqueness, then they may be making mistake.
Consumers should be aware that lifted suspensions require larger, more expensive tires, and they are far more prone to breakage than a standard Jeep suspension.
Owners of these Jeeps should be on notice that steering components are always wearing down due to the added stress.
The costs of aftermarket suspension parts are expensive, and if you're not mechanically inclined, then you have to factor in the added cost of labor.
Secondly, while lift kits look great and provide amazing off-road clearance, they cause on-road driving to be more difficult.
A Jeep isn't the best handling truck on the road to begin with, and a lift kit only reduces that responsiveness further.
In addition, lifted Jeeps are much slower to come to a complete stop, and they can be more prone to rolling.
Only experienced drivers should drive lifted vehicles, and it's helpful if they have experience driving a standard version, a standard Jeep in this case.
Under no circumstances is it wise to give a new driver a lifted Jeep as a first vehicle.
Anyone considering a lifted vehicle should test-drive it first to make certain that that is the type of riding experience that they want.
