Tuff Country 14045 4" Lift Kit with Knuckles and 3 Piece Sub-Frame No Shocks
Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 14045 4" Lift Kit is a bolt-on suspension upgrade built for 2004–2012 Chevy Colorado 4WD and GMC Canyon 4WD owners who want meaningful ground clearance without a complicated install. This kit uses knuckles and a 3-piece sub-frame to deliver a solid, capable platform for larger tires while keeping the installation straightforward. Note: shocks are not included; factory length shocks must be replaced with extended shocks to install this kit properly.
- Lift Height: 4" front / 3" rear lift to maximize ground clearance and aggressive handling on rough terrain.
- Knuckles: New knuckles eliminate the need to drop upper control arms, simplifying alignment and setup.
- 3-Piece Sub-Frame: Built for rigidity and precise alignment, supporting the upgraded suspension geometry.
- Skid Plate & Cross-Mmember Support: Protective skid plate guards the differential and helps stabilize key undercarriage cross members.
- Torsion Bar Location: Torsion bars remain in the stock location for predictable suspension feel and easier maintenance.
- Tire Compatibility: Allows mounting 31 x 10.50" tires for a true lifted look and enhanced off-road capability.
- Rim/Wheel Fitment: Factory rims will not fit with this lift; requires rims with 4.5" backspacing or less and is not compatible with 15" rims.
- Shocks Not Included: This kit is sold without shocks; plan to purchase extended shocks and related boots in the Options to complete the install.
- Made in the USA & Warranty: Crafted with American manufacturing standards and backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty for long-term confidence.
- Vehicle Fitment: Specifically designed for 2004–2012 Chevy Colorado 4WD and 2004–2012 GMC Canyon 4WD models.
Benefits from this kit translate to real-world results: you’ll gain noticeable ground clearance for trails and uneven terrain, improved approach angles, and a bolder stance without sacrificing ride quality or reliability. The knuckle-driven geometry preserves steering feel, while the skid plate protection helps shield vital components on rocky routes. With a trusted brand like Tuff Country and a lifetime warranty, this lift kit offers a durable, value-focused upgrade for dual-cab pickups that regularly see dirt, mud, and highway miles alike.
