Default Increasing ground clearance?

There are front steering replacement parts available that increase ground clearance without having to install lift kit. Do you guys think this is a good idea?

No there aren't. You can't increase ground clearance with front steering replacement parts. Unless you're referring to literally ONLY those parts being higher.

Taller tires are the only way to increase ground clearance at the differential. A suspension lift won't give you any increased ground clearance unless you add taller tires with it.

Good points. I was thinking of the terrafirma stuff or Lucky8 that just offers a clean and simple way to get some of items " out of the way" best possible. Point being if some of the suspension items are needing replacement anyway - there are great choices to be had without choosing OEM stock everytime.

Just cut your fenders and put some tractor tires on it.
