Tuff Country 16824 6" Lift Kit with Upper Control Arm Relocation Brackets and 1 Piece Sub-Frame No Shocks
Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 16824 6" Lift Kit is a bolt-on suspension upgrade designed for 3/4-1 ton Chevy and GMC trucks. It combines upper control arm relocation brackets with a one-piece sub-frame to deliver solid lift, increased tire clearance, and dependable rigidity—backed by Tuff Country’s long-standing reputation for quality suspension solutions.
- Lift height: 6 inches of lift designed for 3/4-1 ton Chevy/GMC trucks with stamped factory lower control arms.
- Upper relocation brackets: Realigns suspension geometry for improved axle articulation and steering feel with larger tires.
- 1-piece sub-frame: Adds strength and helps eliminate squeaks and rattles for a quieter, more rigid chassis.
- Tire compatibility: Allows use of up to 33" x 12.5" tires for enhanced off-road traction and a bolder stance.
- Shocks included: Without shocks — requires compatible shocks (not included) to complete the setup.
- Installation: Bolt-on design for straightforward installation; average install time is 10–12 hours.
- Compatibility notes: Fits 1988–1997 Chevy/GMC K2500/K3500 4WD with stamped factory lower control arms; not for diesel engines and not for 2-piece rear driveshaft variants.
- Warranty: Covered by a limited lifetime warranty, reflecting Tuff Country’s commitment to durability and long-term value.
With this kit installed, you’ll gain significant ground clearance, room for bigger tires, and a more confident stance without compromising essential controls. The upper relocation brackets help maintain predictable steering and alignment under load, while the reinforced one-piece sub-frame minimizes movement and noise for a steadier ride on both daily commutes and weekend adventures. Plan for a 10–12 hour installation and pair the kit with the right shocks and proper alignment to maximize performance, reliability, and the lasting value that comes with a lifetime-backed suspension upgrade from Tuff Country.
