Q

I would like to increase the height off the ground of my 2005 ford ute. I know the RTV model is 4 to 5 inches higher off the ground. Can I purchase a set of RTV rims & just fit them to my existing ute.

Thank you

David

The Falcon RTV (Rugged Terrain Vehicle) sits 67.5 mm higher at the front axle and 80 mm higher at the rear axle compared to a standard ute. The ride height was achieved by using different suspension components and springs. You will need to change these for that amount of ground clearance. There is also legalities varying from state to state on the amount you can increase the tyre size of your vehicle over standard. If you want to carry out any modifications it's also worth checking with your insurance company first to see if it will still cover you.
