Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 16955 6" Lift Kit with Knuckles and 1 Piece Sub-Frame is a bolt‑on suspension upgrade for 1999–2005 GM full‑size trucks, designed to deliver substantial ground clearance and a capable off‑road stance without a complete chassis overhaul.
- Lift height: 6" front and 5" rear lift to create dramatic clearance for larger tires and rough terrain.
- New steering knuckles: Eliminates the need to drop upper control arms during installation, preserving steering geometry.
- One‑piece sub‑frame: Provides increased strength and helps reduce squeaks and rattles for a smoother, more rigid ride.
- Includes lateral compression arms: Enhances axle stability and alignment under load.
- Tire compatibility: Supports up to 36" x 12.5" tires for bold, aggressive looks and improved off‑road capability.
- Finish and material: Black powder coat over steel for durable, long‑lasting protection.
- Shocks not included: Factory length shocks must be replaced with extended shocks to install properly; choose extended shocks and boots if you haven’t already.
- Rim/backspacing requirements: Requires rims with 4.5" backspacing or less; factory rims will not fit with this kit.
- Installation note: Simple bolt‑on installation designed to minimize downtime and complexity.
- Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty from Tuff Country, reflecting years of suspension expertise.
- Compatibility: Not compatible with Stabil Trak equipped models.
This lift kit is tailored for the 1999–2005 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD and 1999–2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD households, offering a robust, dependable upgrade that pairs with 36" tires for improved approach/departure angles and off‑road confidence. With a proven track record from Tuff Country—a brand delivering suspension solutions for over 25 years—you get a kit that emphasizes strength, alignment stability, and long‑term value, all backed by a lifetime warranty.
