Product Description

The Skyjacker C180AKS-B is a complete 8 in. front-and-rear suspension lift kit for GM Blazer, Jimmy, Suburban, and K/V-series pickups, bundled with a full set of Skyjacker's Black MAX shocks. At the top of Skyjacker's lift range for this platform, this kit is built for owners running the largest tires and wanting maximum ground clearance for serious off-road use.

Both front and rear leaf springs deliver the full 8 in. of lift, paired with front and rear U-bolt kits and brake line brackets to properly relocate brake lines for the increased suspension travel this height creates. The included Black MAX shocks use advanced foam-cell technology that compresses to compensate for oil expansion as the shock heats up under hard use, keeping damping performance consistent rather than fading, while StableSteer valving keeps tires firmly planted on the road for controlled handling both on-road and off.

Everything ships together with a bushing kit and all necessary mounting hardware, along with detailed installation instructions, giving GM truck and SUV owners a complete, ready-to-install 8-inch lift package rather than a piecemeal build. The kit is backed by Skyjacker's limited lifetime warranty.
