# The Rolls-Royce Cullinan Finally Gets a Lift Kit, and it’s $163,000

Let's be honest now. If you drop a few hundred grand on a luxury SUV, you expect to be able to take that thing almost anywhere a wheeled vehicle can go. The [Rolls-Royce Cullinan](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/33623/this-18-scale-rolls-royce-cullinan-costs-more-than-your-current-car>) happens to cost that much, and with almost 10.6 inches of ground clearance in off-road mode, it's not *exactly* in need of a lift to go off-road. But a little bit extra never hurts, and if you're a Rolls client, money ain't no object. That means you can splash out on a bit of extra ride height, even if it costs you half as much as a second Cullinan.

Designed by German off-road specialists [Delta 4x4](<https://delta4x4-com.translate.goog/aktuelles/produktneuheiten/der-rolls-royce-fuers-grobe/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp#>) (which supplies tires for [portal-axled Suzuki Jimnys](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/42973/suzuki-jimny-on-portal-axles-has-a-crazy-15-7-inches-of-ground-clearance>)), this Cullinan lift kit was apparently, unsurprisingly, commissioned by "a prospective buyer from the Arabian peninsula." It combines a 3.1-inch suspension lift with 20-inch beadlock wheels and 33-inch Mickey Thompson Baja Boss X off-road tires, together boosting 5.9 inches of ground clearance for an apparent total of 16.5 inches. That's almost six inches more than a [Jeep Wrangler Rubicon](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/40163/2021-jeep-wrangler-rubicon-392-review-the-v8-wrangler-is-just-as-rowdy-as-you-think>), though Delta doesn't say how much it improves the Rolls' approach, breakover, or departure angles.

On a trail, though, the difference in comfort will be night and day between the Jeep and the Rolls, both during the drive and upon making camp. [You can absolutely camp comfortably inside a Cullinan](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/25672/living-in-the-2019-rolls-royce-cullinan-turning-a-410000-suv-into-a-beachside-luxury-hotel>), but why do so when you can catch Zs on the roof by way of a rooftop tent? If you're spending $8,700 on Delta's roof rack, after all, you can afford the fanciest tent in REI's catalog. You can pitch it somewhere with a spectacular view, too, if you spring for Delta's entire off-road conversion package. It includes everything from a bull bar to a snorkel, PIAA floodlights, custom fender extensions, and underbody protection that covers a derestricted exhaust.

Individual pricing isn't yet available for some of these parts, but Delta says the whole shebang comes in at the equivalent of $163,000. That money can fetch a coastal bungalow if you know how to spend it, though a beach house sees the same view every day. Can't say the same about a Cullinan you can camp out of, can you?
