ABSTRACT:
A kit and method are provided for conversion of a vehicle to a high clearance vehicle. The method includes supporting the rear end of the vehicle in a raised position by providing replacement rear wheels of larger diameter. A lifting bracket associated with each front wheel includes a socket for receiving the existing wheel spindle of the respective front wheel therein and a replacement wheel spindle lying parallel and spaced below the socket for supporting the respective front wheel thereon. The use of lifting brackets mounted on the existing wheel spindles of the vehicle permits the existing steering linkage and suspension of the vehicle to function normally so that minimal modification to the vehicle is required for conversion to high clearance.
