Unlock Six Inches of Classic GM Truck Capability
Early GM half-ton and three-quarter ton trucks were built tough, but decades-old suspension geometry limits tire size and ground clearance. The Skyjacker SKYC260AKS-N Softride suspension system delivers a full 6 inch lift for 1969 to 1972 Chevrolet and GMC trucks, combining new leaf springs, U-bolt kits, and Nitro shocks to control the extra travel. The SKYC260AKS-N is engineered to maintain a smooth, controlled ride at the higher stance while opening up clearance for larger off-road tires. This complete system ships with the front bushing kit and hardware needed for a full front and rear installation on compatible 4WD trucks.
