Description

Raise your GM 4x4 with the Tuff Country 16711K 6-inch EZ-Ride lift kit—designed for classic Chevy/GMC trucks, Blazers, Suburbans, and Jimmys that want serious off-road capability without sacrificing control or comfort.

  • Lift Height: 6" front and 6" rear lift for a balanced, higher stance on 4WD models.
  • EZ-Ride Leaf Springs: Enhanced ride quality with EZ-Ride springs that smooth out rough terrain and maintain stability.
  • Teflon Pads: Integrated to minimize noise and squeaking for a quieter daily drive and trail use.
  • Polyurethane Bushings: Durable bushings that improve articulation and longevity under lift conditions.
  • 35" Tire Capability: Enables fitment of 35" x 12.5" tires for improved traction and ground clearance.
  • Steering Arm Included: Steering arm helps preserve steering geometry after the lift for precise handling.
  • Shocks Not Included: Factory shocks must be replaced with extended shocks to install properly.
  • Vehicle Fitment: Designed for 1973–1987 Chevy/GMC 4WD models (Blazer, Suburban K1500, Truck K1500); excludes diesel engines.
  • Made in the USA: Built and tested in the United States for quality and consistency.
  • Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty on lift kits for long-term peace of mind.

This kit is purpose-built for classic GM pickups and sport utilities, delivering a confident, off-road-ready profile while maintaining ride quality on daily commutes. It supports larger tires to enhance traction and ground clearance, and the EZ-Ride springs with polyurethane bushings deliver a durable, quieter performance. Because installation requires extended shocks, plan for the right components to complete the setup. Tuff Country’s experience—over 25 years in suspension products—along with a limited lifetime warranty, brings proven value and trusted support to your build.
