Product Details
Description
Upgrade your Chevy/GMC K1500 4x4 with the Tuff Country 16812K 6" Lift Kit. This bolt-on suspension system is designed for simple, affordable lifting that delivers real off-road capability, backed by Tuff Country’s proven expertise and a limited lifetime warranty.
- Lift Height: 6" front / 6" rear lift, designed to accommodate up to 35" tires (35x12.5" recommended).
- Upper Control Arm Drop: Drops the upper control arms to improve steering geometry and suspension articulation at height.
- One-Piece Sub-Frame: Increased strength with reduced squeaks and rattles for a quieter, more confidence-inspiring ride.
- Rear Leaf Springs: Integrated rear springs provide reliable load support and ride consistency under lift conditions.
- Shocks: Not included; factory length shocks must be replaced with extended shocks to install properly.
- Wheel/Rim Compatibility: Factory rims will not fit; use rims with 4.5" backspacing or less for proper fitment.
- Installation: Bolt-on design for a straightforward install with common hand tools and minimal downtime.
- Warranty: Supported by a limited lifetime warranty for long-term peace of mind.
- Brand Advantage: Crafted by Tuff Country, a trusted name with 25+ years of suspension expertise and dedicated customer support.
This kit is engineered to deliver both capability and value: it increases ground clearance and tire compatibility (up to 35" tires) while maintaining chassis integrity through a strengthened sub-frame and optimized front-end geometry. The result is a more capable truck for off-road adventures and a more commanding street presence, without sacrificing daily drivability. Plan for extended shocks and compatible rims to complete the build and enjoy a dependable, lifted 1988–1998 Chevy/GMC K1500 experience.
