Tuff Country 16843 6" Lift Kit with Upper Control Arm Relocation Brackets & 1 Piece Sub-Frame No Shocks
Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 16843 6-inch Lift Kit is a bolt-on suspension upgrade designed for 1994–1998 Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon 1500 4WD 4-Door models. It features upper control arm relocation brackets and a one-piece sub-frame to deliver a robust lift with room for larger tires, backed by Tuff Country’s proven engineering and a limited lifetime warranty.
- Lift height: 6" front and 6" rear lift for a balanced, bold stance.
- Upper control arm relocation brackets: Repositions arms to maintain proper alignment and steering geometry at height.
- One-piece sub-frame: Increased rigidity to reduce flex, squeaks, and rattles for a steadier ride.
- Bolt-on installation: Designed for straightforward, factory-mitable mounting with no extensive fabrication.
- Shocks not included: Factory-length shocks must be replaced with extended shocks to install properly.
- Tire compatibility: Supports up to 35" tall tires (35" x 12.5" tires) for enhanced off-road capability.
- Rim/backspacing requirement: Rims with 4.5" backspacing or less are required for proper clearance.
- Application: Specifically engineered for 1994–1998 Chevy Tahoe 4WD 4-Door without Autotrac and 1994–1998 GMC Yukon 1500 4WD 4-Door.
- Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty from Tuff Country.
- Brand heritage: Built by a suspension leader with over 25 years of experience and a reputation for value and support.
The kit transforms your Tahoe or Yukon by delivering substantial ground clearance and the ability to run serious 35" tires, enabling confident off-road exploration and improved approach/departure angles. The integrated upper control arm relocation brackets preserve steering accuracy at height, helping minimize bump steer and maintain predictable handling. The rugged, one-piece sub-frame adds structural integrity, reducing squeaks and rattles that can come with larger lifts. Because shocks are not included, pair this lift with extended shocks designed for a 6" lift to optimize ride quality and control. Ensure your wheels are compatible with a 4.5" (or narrower) backspacing to achieve proper fitment and performance.
