Classic Square Body Height Without Sacrificing Ride Quality
The Skyjacker C125AKS8-N is a complete 2.5 inch suspension lift system built for 1988 to 1991 Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy four wheel drive models. This kit gives square body SUV owners the clearance needed for larger tires while Skyjacker engineers the geometry to preserve factory ride characteristics and steering feel. The C125AKS8-N includes front and rear components matched specifically to this generation of Blazer and Jimmy, along with Nitro shock absorbers tuned for the added ride height. Skyjacker designed this system to work with the stock drivetrain and suspension mounting points, so installation follows a straightforward bolt on process using the included hardware. Owners running 31 to 33 inch tires on their square body Blazer or Jimmy commonly choose the C125AKS8-N as the foundation for that setup. Every component in the kit is manufactured to Skyjacker specifications for durability under regular off road use.
