Description

Upgrade your classic 4x4 with the Tuff Country 13713K 3" Lift Kit. Designed for GM trucks and SUVs from the 1970s and 1980s, it delivers a solid, professionally engineered lift that enhances clearance, capability, and ride quality without breaking the bank.

  • Lift height: 3 inches front and 3 inches rear, optimized to fit 33" x 12.5" tires for enhanced ground clearance and a balanced stance.
  • Heavy-duty front springs: engineered to handle added weight from snow plows, big-block engines, or aftermarket bumpers while maintaining ride height.
  • Rear springs (52" length): designed to work with the front lift to provide proportional ride height and improved load support.
  • Noise reduction and durability: Teflon pads minimize noise and squeaking, while polyurethane bushings improve long-term wear and responsiveness.
  • Hardware included: comes with the necessary mounting hardware to simplify installation (shocks not included).
  • Shocks required: factory shocks must be replaced with extended shocks for proper installation; extended shocks can be added as an option.
  • Warranty: backed by a limited lifetime warranty on all lift kits for continued confidence and support.
  • Vehicle compatibility: specifically designed for 1973–1987 Chevy Blazer 4WD, 1973–1987 GMC Jimmy 4WD, and related 1/2-ton GM trucks/suburbans in 4WD configurations.

This lift kit from Tuff Country emphasizes quality and value with durable components, precise engineering, and a straightforward upgrade path for classic GM 4x4s. It’s built to expand your off-road capability—allowing larger tires, better approach/departure angles, and a more commanding on-road presence—while providing the peace of mind that comes with a lifetime warranty. Remember, shocks are not included, and installing extended shocks is essential for proper fit and performance.
