Tuff Country 16085KN 6" Lift Kit with Knuckles & 3 Piece Sub-Frame with SX8000 Shocks
Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 16085KN 6" Lift Kit with Knuckles, 3-Piece Sub-Frame and SX8000 Shocks is a complete suspension upgrade designed for 2011–2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4WD and GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD. It delivers a bold stance and enhanced off-road capability, engineered for reliable, long‑term performance with a limited lifetime warranty.
- Lift configuration: 6" front and 4" rear lift to accommodate larger tires and improve ground clearance, supporting up to 35" x 12.5" tires.
- Knuckles: Front steering knuckles designed to eliminate the need to drop upper control arms, improving steering geometry and reducing installation complexity.
- Three-piece sub-frame: Multi-piece sub-frame with heavy-duty skid plates for added rigidity and drivetrain protection.
- Relocated bump stops: Front and rear bump stops relocated to maintain proper suspension travel and ride height with the lift.
- Shocks included: SX8000 shocks included to deliver improved damping and control on and off the trail.
- Fitment notes: Factory shocks must be replaced with extended shocks for proper installation; rim with additional backspacing is required; factory rims will not fit; not compatible with dually models.
- Installation and time: Average install time estimated at 8–10 hours for a typical project experience.
- Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, reflecting Tuff Country’s commitment to quality and long-term value.
Benefits: This lift kit unlocks true off-road capability without sacrificing everyday usability. The 6" front / 4" rear lift creates space for 35" tires, enhancing traction and approach angles while maintaining solid steering control thanks to the knuckles. The three-piece sub-frame and skid plates protect vital components during rugged adventures, and the SX8000 shocks help absorb bumps and chatter for steadier highway driving and confident off-road handling. With relocated bump stops, extended shocks, and a robust construction, you get a durable, effective solution that supports a more aggressive stance, improved mud and rock clearance, and a longer-lasting, value-driven upgrade for your 2011–2019 2500HD pickup.
