Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 14822KN 4" Lift Kit with Rear Leaf Springs and SX8000 Shocks is a complete bolt-on suspension upgrade designed for heavy-duty GM trucks. Built for 8-lug 1-ton 4WD models with cast lower control arms, it delivers a confident increase in ground clearance and the ability to run larger tires without sacrificing stability.
- Lift Height: 4 inches of suspension lift to accommodate up to 33" x 12.5" tires and improve off-road clearance.
- One-Piece Sub-Frame: Enhanced rigidity that helps eliminate squeaks and rattles for a steadier ride.
- Rear Leaf Springs: Heavy-duty springs designed to maintain ride height under load and improve load-carrying capability.
- Upper Control Arm Relocation Brackets: Optimizes suspension geometry to preserve steering feel and caster after the lift.
- SX8000 Shocks Included: Durable damping performance for smoother control on highways and rough trails.
- Bolt-On Installation: Quick, straightforward installation with no cutting or welding required (average install time 10–12 hours).
- Fitment Notes: Designed for 1988–1997 GM 8-lug 4WD trucks with cast factory lower control arms; not compatible with a 2-piece rear driveshaft or diesel engines.
- Warranty: Backed by Tuff Country’s limited lifetime warranty for long-term protection.
With this kit installed, your truck gains significant off-road capability and a bold, lifted stance while maintaining solid on-road control. The combination of a reinforced sub-frame, properly relocated upper control arms, and reliable SX8000 shocks delivers consistent handling, improved ground clearance, and the flexibility to choose larger, more capable tires. The bolt-on design simplifies the upgrade process, making it a practical, long-term improvement for owners who want better traction, load support, and a more commanding presence on and off the pavement.
