2.5 Inches Of Lift Built For Half Ton Suburban Duty
The Skyjacker C125AKSS8 is a complete 2.5 inch suspension lift system designed for 1988-1991 half ton Chevrolet Blazer, GMC Jimmy, and Suburban models that need dependable clearance without sacrificing load carrying capability. This system is built around a 52 inch rear leaf spring, giving the rear suspension a longer spring base that helps distribute load more evenly across the spring pack, a useful trait for Suburban owners who frequently carry passengers or cargo. The kit includes front and rear leaf springs, U-bolt kits, a bushing kit, and shocks, providing everything needed for a complete 2.5 inch lift in one package. Skyjacker engineers this system to maintain predictable handling at the increased ride height while supporting the demands of a half ton platform.
