Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 16711KN 6" Lift Kit is a complete, rugged upgrade for classic GM 4x4s. Built for 1973–1987 Chevy/GMC full-size trucks, Blazers, Suburbans, and Jimmys, it delivers reliable height, capable performance, and a confident, stable ride with 35" tires.
- Lift Height: 6 inches of front lift and 6 inches of rear lift to clear larger tires and improve approach/departure angles on GM 4WD platforms.
- EZ-Ride Front Springs: Premium EZ-Ride leaf springs designed for a smoother, quieter ride with Teflon pads to reduce noise and squeak.
- 52" Rear Springs: Rear leaf springs sized at 52" (eye-to-eye) for dependable ride height and compatibility with the included rear blocks.
- Rear Blocks: Properly sized blocks to maintain alignment and transfer load efficiently after lifting.
- Steering Arm: Included to preserve steering geometry and handling characteristics at 6" of lift.
- SX8000 Shocks: Heavy-duty SX8000 shocks installed at the factory to support a tougher, more controlled ride both on- and off-road.
- Materials & Hardware: Polyurethane bushings included with springs; Teflon pads for quiet operation; Made in the USA for lasting durability.
- Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty on all lift kits, reflecting Tuff Country’s long-standing reliability and support.
- Fitment Notes: Diesel engines are not supported for this kit; check that your vehicle uses a small-block gasoline engine; lengthening driveshafts may be necessary with a 6" lift; factory shocks must be replaced with extended shocks for proper installation.
This kit brings together trusted Tuff Country engineering—experience from over 35 years in suspension systems—so you gain increased ground clearance, room for 35" tires, and a confident, stable ride without sacrificing control. The combination of EZ-Ride springs, durable SX8000 shocks, and reinforced steering geometry helps you tackle rough trails while maintaining road manners for everyday driving. Plus, the all-in-one setup means you’re getting the essential components (springs, shocks, steering arm, blocks) in one, ready-to-install package, backed by a warranty you can rely on.
