  • Rear Blocks & Add-A-Leafs: Rear block spacers paired with add-a-leaf packs deliver consistent load handling and additional capacity.
  • Axle Pivot Brackets with Camber Adjustment: Built-in camber adjustment bolt helps maintain proper alignment after lifting for better tire wear and steering response.
  • Tire Clearance: Engineered to accommodate up to 35" x 12.5" tires with proper clearance and appropriate fitment considerations.
  • Installation Note: Factory-length shocks must be replaced with extended shocks to install this lift kit correctly; consider extended shocks and boots if you haven’t already.
