Description

Elevate your vintage GM 4x4 with the Tuff Country 12710KN 2" Lift Kit, designed for 1973–1987 Chevy Blazer, Suburban K1500, and Chevy/GMC trucks. It delivers a practical, value-driven suspension upgrade that enhances stance, clearance, and daily drive quality.

  • Lift height: 2" overall lift to improve ground clearance while preserving factory geometry for a balanced ride.
  • EZ-Ride front springs: Innovative leaf springs with built-in comfort to reduce road noise and deliver a smoother, more controlled ride.
  • Rear blocks: Solid rear blocks tuned to maintain proper axle alignment and support the lift height.
  • SX8000 shocks: Included shocks that enhance damping and stability for on- and off-road use.
  • Tuff Country engineering: A long-standing suspension specialist with 35+ years of experience and a limited lifetime warranty on leaf springs.
  • Tire compatibility: Designed to accommodate 32" x 10.5" tires for improved footprint and stance.
  • Vehicle fitment: Compatible with 1973–1987 4WD Chevy Blazer, Suburban K1500, and 1973–1987 Chevy/GMC trucks (1/2 ton); diesel engine models are not supported.
  • Installation time: Typical installation ranges from 4 to 6 hours with standard hand tools and basic shop equipment.
  • Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty on leaf springs and comprehensive coverage across the kit for lasting peace of mind.

This lift kit isn’t just about heightβ€”it’s about a more confident driving experience. EZ-Ride springs reduce unwanted noise and squeak, SX8000 shocks deliver better control and comfort, and the rear blocks keep everything aligned after the lift. The result is improved approach and departure angles for light off-road adventures, a more purposeful street look, and expanded tire options without compromising ride quality.
