Product Details
Description
Raise the stance of your Chevy or GMC K1500 4WD with confidence using the Tuff Country 14812KN 4" Lift Kit. Built for true truck enthusiasts, this bolt-on system delivers a practical upgrade with proven components designed to endure off-road use and daily driving.
- Lift Height: 4" of front and 4" of rear lift to create a balanced, aggressive look while adding room for larger tires.
- Shocks Included: SX8000 shocks installed, giving improved control and ride quality on rugged terrain.
- One-Piece Sub-Frame: Strengthened platform reduces squeaks and rattles while enhancing overall chassis rigidity.
- Upper Control Arm Drop: Maintains proper suspension geometry and steering response as you flex and climb.
- Bolt-On Installation: Designed for straightforward, tool-friendly installation on 1988–1998 K1500 4WD models.
- Wheel/Tire Fitment: Supports up to 33" x 12.5" tires with rims that have 4.5" backspacing or less; factory rims will not fit with this kit.
- Compatibility: Specifically designed for 1988–1998 Chevy Truck K1500 4WD and 1988–1998 GMC Truck K1500 4WD (non-Autotrac); not compatible with dually configurations.
- Warranty: Backed by Tuff Country’s limited lifetime warranty for lasting peace of mind.
- Shocks & Installation Notes: Factory-length shocks must be replaced with extended shocks for proper fitment; choose extended shocks and boots in the options if you don’t already have them.
This kit is built for real-world use: it unlocks extra ground clearance for off-road adventures, enables larger tire footprints for better traction, and sustains ride quality with SX8000 shocks and a rigid, 1-piece sub-frame. The upper control arm drop preserves steering geometry during articulation, while the bolt-on design makes installation accessible to both weekend wrenchers and pro shops. With a long-standing reputation for quality suspension components, Tuff Country delivers a reliable upgrade that aligns with your truck’s capability and durability needs.
