Description

Upgrade your classic GM 4x4 with the Tuff Country 14713K 4" Lift Kit. Designed for 1973–1987 Chevy Blazer, Suburban, and GMC trucks with 4WD, this kit delivers a straightforward path to extra ground clearance, better tire fitment, and reliable performance—without shocks included.

  • Lift height: 4-inch suspension lift that increases ground clearance and creates room for larger tires on 1973–1987 GM 4x4 models.
  • Heavy-duty front springs: Reinforced front leaf springs engineered for big-block engines and snow plow use, delivering improved load handling and stability.
  • 52" rear springs: Extended rear leaf springs to maintain proper ride height and support payload across the axle.
  • Steering arm: Included steering arm maintains proper steering geometry after lifting, helping preserve steering feel and control.
  • Teflon pads: Low-friction pads reduce noise and squeaking for a smoother, quieter ride.
  • Shocks included: Not included in this kit; designed to be paired with your existing shocks or aftermarket options.
  • Tire compatibility: Enables use of up to 33" x 12.5" tires for improved off-road capability and stance (with proper fitment).
  • Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty on the leaf springs for long-term durability and confidence.
  • Install considerations: Average install time is 4–6 hours, with a straightforward, trackable bolt-on installation for the expected 1973–1987 GM 4x4 platforms.
  • Vehicle fitment notes: Suitable for 1973–1987 Chevy Blazer 4WD, Suburban K1500 4WD, Chevy Truck K1500 4WD, GMC Jimmy 4WD, and GMC Truck/K1500 4WD models (will not fit diesel engines; fits 1/2-ton models).
