Benefits: This lift kit transforms your Chevy Suburban or similar 4x4 from a stock ride into a capable, lifted daily driver and weekend explorer. The EZ-Ride front springs work with Teflon pads to reduce road noise while preserving a comfortable highway feel, and the 52" rear springs provide steady support for gear and passengers. The 4" lift creates room for larger tires, improving approach angles and off-road capability without compromising steering control thanks to the included steering arm. With a limited lifetime leaf-spring warranty and a straightforward installation, this Tuff Country kit offers a reliable path to a stronger, more capable classic 4x4.
