Ground clearance (also famous as Ride height) describes the interval from the bottom mark of the car’s chassis and the gap of the tires’ contact with the horizontal road. Yet, the maker of the model might adopt tiny tricks to the fixed program to reveal attractive number suggesting the factual stretch from the shock absorbers, the engine oil pan or the muffler to the road might be shorter than specified in the issued specs.
It is no wonder as long as choosy car buyers seek an enlarged ground clearance to avoid headache when parking near the barriers or running through the bumpy terrain. The accurate ride height of the model alters between 135 to 175 mm in relation to the year of production and trim. Don’t forget that a well- loaded vehicle will clearly lose about 1 inch of ground clearance.
Happily, the model ground clearance can be elaborated via spacers for shock absorbers to make the car sit higher off the ground. While getting a higher model, you lose a bit of the former stability and maneuverability at high speeds. Instead model ground clearance can be lessened for enhanced handling and stability.
There a number of ways to increase ground clearance. When it comes to lifting or lowering your Toyota Sienna you can choose between bigger tires, a leveling kit, coil spring assisters, coilovers, airlift suspension, suspension lifts, etc.
