The Tuff Country 12030KN 2" Lift Kit with SX8000 Shocks is a bolt-on suspension upgrade designed for 2007–2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD and GMC Sierra 1500 4WD. It delivers a confident 2-inch lift front and rear, enhancing ground clearance and stance without breaking the bank.

  • Lift Height: 2" front / 2" rear lift for Silverado/Sierra 1500 4WD, preserving the factory rake with the rear riding slightly higher
  • Shocks Included: SX8000 shocks included to improve control and ride quality on- and off-road
  • Rear Block Upgrade: Rear lift blocks replace factory blocks for reliable, simple installation
  • Front Suspension: New front struts are not required, keeping installation straightforward
  • Construction & Origin: Proudly Made in the USA with engineered durability
  • Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty for long-term confidence
  • Compatibility: Fits 2007–2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD and 2007–2018 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD; excludes Magnetic Ride Control and Air Suspension
  • Wheel/Tire Guidance: Recommended tire size 32 x 10.50; aftermarket wheels should have +30 offset; trimming may be required if offset is less than +30; no trimming with factory rims
  • Installation Notes: Simple bolt-on installation; optional but not required extended rear shocks

This lift kit delivers tangible benefits: increased ground clearance for light off-road trails and rough roads, room to run up to 32" tires for improved traction, and a more commanding highway stance. The kit preserves ride quality with SX8000 shocks and maintains the vehicle’s natural balance by keeping the rear slightly higher than the front. With a lifetime warranty and USA-made craftsmanship, it’s a reliable upgrade that aligns with real-world needs—from daily driving to weekend adventures—without compromising factory wheel compatibility if you stay with your original rims.
