  • Quality & Craftsmanship: Built by Tuff Country—a brand with over 35 years of suspension experience—focused on durability, precise fit, and real-world performance.

This kit is more than just a height increase. It translates to improved off-road capability, a more commanding on-road presence, and predictable handling when the trail gets rough or the driveway gets steep. EZ-Ride springs and the included SX8000 shocks work together to balance load handling with a smoother ride, while the rear add-a-leaf and blocks maintain axle alignment and payload performance. With a trusted lifetime warranty and a track record of reliability, it’s a thoughtful upgrade for enthusiasts who want a capable, durable lift that’s ready for 35-inch tires right out of the box.
