Six Inch Lift Built for Long Wheelbase GM Three-Quarter Ton Trucks
Trucks equipped with the longer 56 inch rear leaf spring need a suspension system engineered around that specific spring length. The Skyjacker SKYC260AKSD-B system delivers a 6 inch lift for 1969 to 1972 Chevrolet and GMC three-quarter ton trucks with 56 inch rear springs, pairing new front leaf springs and U-bolt kits with Black MAX shocks for confident control. The SKYC260AKSD-B is built to correct pinion angle and maintain steering geometry at the higher ride height while giving these longer wheelbase trucks the ground clearance needed for larger tires. Every SKYC260AKSD-B kit ships with the hardware required for a complete front and rear installation.
