HYDRAULIC LIFT FOR VEHICLE SUSPENSION

A hydraulic life actuator for adjusting a height of a vehicle includes: a damper tube including a closed end; a damper rod protruding from the damper tube opposite the closed end; a sliding spring seat disposed annularly around the damper tube and configured to engage a coil spring; a support collar disposed annularly around the damper tube and fixed to the sliding spring seat, wherein the support collar is configured to translate axially relative to the damper tube; a lifting bracket connected to the support collar and protruding radially from the support collar; and a hydraulic cylinder disposed adjacent and parallel to the damper tube and having a lift piston rod disposed extending outwardly therefrom, wherein the lift piston rod is connected to the lifting bracket and configured to actuate the sliding spring seat between a retracted position and an extended position spaced apart from the closed end.
