Description

Elevate your heavy GM 3/4-ton 4WD with a practical 2-inch lift that blends improved ground clearance with a smoother, more confident ride. The Tuff Country 12720KN kit is built for real-world use—works great on Suburbans and trucks from the 1973–1987 era—and includes everything you need for a reliable suspension upgrade.

  • Lift height: 2" overall lift to broaden tire options while preserving factory steering and geometry
  • EZ-Ride front springs: purpose-built leaf springs tuned for a refined ride, with Teflon pads to minimize noise and squeaks
  • Rear blocks: properly position the axle with the new lift and maintain stability under load
  • SX8000 shocks included: matched front shocks designed to deliver controlled damping and improved on-road and off-road feel
  • 32" tire capability: supports up to 32" x 10.5" tires for a more capable stance
  • Hardware kit: includes required brackets, bushings, and mounting components for a complete install
  • Extended shocks required: factory shocks must be replaced with extended shocks to install the lift correctly; shocks & boots can be selected in the options if not already purchased
  • Warranty: backed by a limited lifetime warranty on the leaf springs for long-term peace of mind
  • Vehicle compatibility: designed for 1973–1987 Chevy Suburban K2500 4WD, Chevy Truck K2500 4WD, GMC Suburban K2500 4WD, and GMC Truck K2500 4WD (diesel engines are not supported)
  • Installation time: typical installation takes about 4–6 hours
  • Brand heritage: from Tuff Country, a suspension specialist with over 35 years of history and a focus on value and durability
  • Engine note: recommended for small-block engines to optimize clearance and performance with the selected tire size

This kit transforms your ride with EZ-Ride springs that smooth out rough roads and reduce road noise, while the SX8000 shocks keep dampening aligned with the lift. A complete package—front springs, rear blocks, shocks, and necessary hardware—delivers a balanced stance and confident handling, whether you’re caravaning, towing, or tackling light off-road trails. With a lifetime warranty and a long-standing reputation for value, the Tuff Country 12720KN lift kit is a practical upgrade for established GM 3/4-ton 4WD platforms seeking improved stance and tire compatibility without compromising daily usability.
