  • Includes bushings: ready for installation with compatible hardware
  • Heavy-duty construction: built to support big-block engines and snow plow workloads
  • Application fit: designed for 1969–1972 Chevy Blazer 4WD, Chevy Truck 4WD, GMC Jimmy/Truck 4WD (1/2 ton and 3/4 ton models); not compatible with diesel engines
  • Warranty: limited lifetime warranty on leaf springs
  • Quantity per vehicle: typically 2 leaf springs are required for the full 2" lift (sold individually)

Benefits: This front lift kit enhances stability and load-carrying capability without sacrificing ride quality. The engineered EZ-Ride design minimizes harshness on uneven pavement and rough terrains, while Teflon inserts reduce noise and wear. Including bushings simplifies installation, and the heavy-duty construction ensures durability for demanding setups like big-block engines or occasional snow-plow duties. With the right pairing, you’ll achieve a confident, predictable ride that maintains proper axle alignment and control across challenging conditions.
