Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 16962 6" Lift Kit with Knuckles and 3 Piece Sub-Frame (No Shocks) is a bolt-on suspension upgrade designed for GM full-size SUVs and pickups that crave increased ground clearance and a bolder stance. Built for 2000–2006 Chevy Tahoe 4WD, 2000–2006 Suburban 1500 4WD, 2000–2006 GMC Yukon 1500 4WD, and 2001–2004 Avalanche 1500 4WD, it pairs rugged hardware with thoughtful engineering to simplify installation and maximize value.
- Lift height: 6 inches front and 6 inches rear, compatible with up to 36" tires for a pronounced, capable look.
- Knuckles: New steering knuckles designed to eliminate the need to drop upper control arms during installation.
- Sub-frame: Three-piece sub-frame structure to streamline setup and provide solid, stable mounting.
- Shocks: Shocks are not included in this kit; shock relocation brackets are provided to accommodate stock units.
- Installation: Simple bolt-on installation that minimizes downtime and DIY-friendly fitment.
- Tire compatibility: Supports up to 36" x 12.5" tires, giving you room for aggressive off-road rubber.
- Wheel and rim notes: Factory rims will not fit; a wheel offset of 4.5" or less is required for proper clearance and alignment.
- Vehicle stability and compatibility: Fits vehicles without Vehicle Stability Control (VSC); not compatible with Stabilitrak-equipped models.
- Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty from Tuff Country for long-term peace of mind.
