- Teflon Pads: Integrated to minimize noise and squeaks for a smoother, quieter ride.
- Recommended Tire Size: Supports up to 35" x 12.5" tires for enhanced off-road grip and stance.
- Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty on the leaf springs for long-term reliability.
- Installation Time: Typical installation ranges from 5 to 7 hours, depending on vehicle condition and setup.
- Vehicle Fitment: Specifically designed for 1988–1991 Chevy Suburban K2500 4WD and 1988–1991 GMC Suburban K2500 4WD; Will Not Fit Diesel Engine Models; Gas engines only.
Benefits: This lift kit helps you tackle tougher terrain with more clearance for larger tires, reducing the risk of undercarriage hits on rocky trails while preserving ride quality through EZ-Ride springs and damped by SX8000 shocks. The steering arm maintains precise handling, and the included Teflon pads help keep the ride quiet on all surfaces. With the leaf-spring warranty backing the system, you gain long-term confidence for weekend adventures, overland trips, and heavy-duty daily driving alike. This setup is ideal for Suburban owners who want a taller, more capable rig without compromising traction, stability, or everyday usability.
