Description

The Tuff Country 12944KN leveling kit with SX8000 shocks is a bolt-on solution designed to level your Silverado’s stance, increase tire clearance, and improve on-road handling for 2WD and 4WD setups from 2001–2010. Includes SX8000 shocks for a complete, ready-to-install package.

  • Front Lift: 2" front lift to level the front with the rear for a balanced stance.

  • Bolt-On Installation: Engineered for straightforward bolt-on installation with common tools—no frame modifications required.
  • Material: Built from high-quality steel for durability and long-term performance.
  • Tire Clearance: Designed to support up to 31" x 10.5" tires for a more aggressive, capable stance.
  • Warranty: Lifetime warranty on the leveling kit for lasting confidence.
  • Made in the USA: Proudly manufactured in the United States, reflecting built-to-last quality.
  • Vehicle Fitment: Specifically compatible with 2001–2010 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 2WD and 4WD configurations.

By leveling the front with the rear, this kit delivers a balanced, confident look while enhancing handling by reducing front-end dive and body roll during cornering. The included SX8000 shocks and relocation brackets help absorb road imperfections, promoting a smoother ride without the need to replace existing shocks. With a 2" front lift and room for up to 31" tires, you gain noticeable ground clearance and traction potential for everyday driving and light off-road use. The bolt-on installation, USA-made craftsmanship, and a lifetime warranty provide a practical, reliable upgrade for Silverado 2500HD owners looking to improve stance, fit larger tires, and retain factory drivability.
