Tuff Country 12954KN 2" Lift Kit with Rear Add-A-Leafs with SX8000 Shocks
Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 12954KN 2" Lift Kit with SX8000 Shocks is a bolt‑on suspension upgrade designed for 2001–2010 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 4WD and GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD. Built on a legacy of more than 35 years, it delivers a straightforward 2-inch lift with proven components for an improved stance and better utility, all backed by a lifetime warranty.
- Lift height: Adds 2" of lift to the front and 2" to the rear for a balanced, true‑to‑stock rake (rear slightly higher than the front).
- Rear add‑a‑leafs: Integrated leaf upgrades enhance ride height and load support without sacrificing overall ride quality.
- Shocks included: SX8000 shocks are included to deliver improved damping and control across on‑road and light off‑road use.
- Finish and construction: Durable, powder‑coated steel components engineered for reliability and long‑term performance.
- Bolt‑on installation: Designed for a simple, straightforward installation with common tools; no torsion bar cranking required (see compatibility notes).
- Made in the USA: Proudly manufactured in the United States for quality assurance and support.
- Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty provides long‑term protection and peace of mind.
- Vehicle fitment: Specifically designed for 2001–2010 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 4WD and 2001–2010 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD; not compatible with dually models.
- Compatibility notes: Works with purple‑marked factory torsion bars; factory shocks can be reused, though new shocks are recommended for best performance.
- Estimated install time: Typical installation ranges from 4–6 hours for an experienced DIYer.
This kit provides a practical upgrade path for drivers seeking a confident, balanced stance and improved off‑road readiness without a complicated, multi‑part replacement. The rear add‑a‑leafs offer enhanced support under load, while the SX8000 shocks help maintain controlled handling and comfort across varied terrain. With the 2" lift front and rear, you’ll gain clearance for modest tire upgrades and better overall visibility, all while preserving the factory‑style rake for a purposeful, integrated look.
