- Bolt-on installation: Designed for straightforward, weld-free installation to save time and labor
- Tire clearance: Enables use of 33" x 12.5" tires when paired with appropriate wheels and alignment
- Shocks: Shocks are not included; pair with your preferred shocks to tailor ride quality
- Vehicle compatibility: Fits 1988–1997 Chevy/GMC K2500/K3500 4WD 8-lug with cast factory lower control arms; not compatible with diesel engines or 2-piece rear driveshaft on these models
- Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty from Tuff Country
- Install time: Average installation ranges from 10–12 hours
This lift kit isn’t just about height—it’s about turning rough terrain into traversable terrain with confidence. The kit’s upper control arm relocation brackets help preserve steering precision and alignment as you gain lift, while the one-piece sub-frame offers enhanced durability and a quieter, more controlled ride. Ideal for truck owners seeking a durable, value-driven upgrade that enables larger tires and a bolder stance, all supported by Tuff Country’s decades of suspension expertise.
