Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 16853KN 6" Lift Kit is a bolt‑on suspension upgrade built for 1992–1998 Suburban 2500 4WD with cast factory lower control arms. It delivers a confident 6-inch lift, pairs with 35-inch tires, and includes SX8000 shocks for dependable off‑road performance.
- Lift height: 6-inch suspension lift designed to broaden ground clearance and accommodate larger tires on 1992–1998 Suburban 2500 4WD with cast factory lower control arms.
- Upper control arm relocation brackets: Precise geometry changes to maintain steering feel and reduce bump steer after lifting.
- One‑piece sub‑frame: Adds strength, distributes load evenly, and helps eliminate squeaks for a more rigid, durable ride.
- SX8000 shocks included: Comes with dampers built to complement the lift for improved control across uneven terrain.
- Bolt‑on installation: Designed for straightforward installation with common tools and hardware, minimizing modifications.
- Fits 35" tires: Optimized to clear 35" x 12.5" tires for a capable, aggressive stance without sacrificing reliability.
- Vehicle fitment: Specifically compatible with 1992–1998 Chevy Suburban 2500 4WD without Autotrac and with cast factory lower control arms.
- Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty from Tuff Country for long‑term peace of mind.
- Important compatibility notes: Not suitable for diesel engines; will not fit vehicles with stamped lower control arms (requires the 16854/16854KN/16854KH kits); not compatible with 2‑piece rear driveshaft setups.
This lift kit reflects Tuff Country’s more than 35 years of suspension expertise, offering a robust, value‑driven solution for weekend explorers and daily drivers who want extra ground clearance without sacrificing stability. The combination of a reinforced sub‑frame, relocation brackets, and purpose‑built SX8000 shocks helps you tackle rough trails with confidence while preserving ride quality and predictable handling.
