Product Description

The Skyjacker C280AKSS-B is an 8" Softride suspension lift system engineered specifically for 1968-1973 Chevrolet and GMC Suburban 4WD models (K10/K15/K20/K25) with gas engines and 52" rear springs. It combines heavy-duty leaf springs and Black MAX monotube shocks for both front and rear, delivering a smooth ride and aggressive stance while maintaining stability and handling.

The kit includes everything needed for a full lift: front and rear leaf springs, shocks, rear lift blocks, U-bolts, brake line mounting brackets, and bushing kits for precise alignment. Designed to support up to 40" tires, the system improves ground clearance and articulation while retaining reliability and ride quality.

Installation is straightforward as a bolt-on solution, but note that it requires 52" rear springs and is compatible only with gas-powered models - not diesel. Skyjacker backs this kit with a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring durability and support over the life of the original owner's vehicle.
