Abstract
A kit for altering the front suspension of an automobile or other vehicle which has a pair of independent front axles, to provide greater clearance for traversing rough terrain normally requiring the use of four-wheel drive vehicles that cost more and have lower fuel mileage. The kit includes a pair of auxiliary axle mounting blocks for holding the inner ends of the front axles at positions spaced directly below the original mounting points thereof on the vehicle frame, and a pair of curved longer replacement radius arms with inner and outer ends for mounting in the same locations and orientations as the inner and outer ends of the original radius arms respectively on the frame and now-lowered front axles.
