Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1977-1987 GM 1-ton truck a significant lift for increased ground clearance and a more aggressive stance, this Skyjacker 8-inch lift kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to provide that extra height needed for larger tires and improved off-road capability while aiming to maintain a comfortable ride quality, similar to the factory feel. It's a comprehensive package that addresses the suspension components needed to achieve an 8-inch lift on your 4WD truck.

Skyjacker has put together a complete system here, including front leaf springs that are key to achieving the lift height. You'll also find front and rear U-bolt kits, a bushing kit for proper suspension articulation, and rear blocks to complement the front springs. To ensure you have the right hardware for the job, a brake line bracket is included to relocate your brake lines safely, and rear add-a-leafs are part of the package to help support heavier loads or maintain ride quality. The kit also comes with Nitro shocks, which are designed to respond well to both on- and off-road conditions, helping to keep your ride smooth and controlled.

This kit comes with all the necessary mounting hardware and detailed instructions, making the installation process as straightforward as possible for a lift of this magnitude. It's important to note that while this kit is designed to improve handling and clearance, it's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's instructions for specific installation details and any additional components that might be beneficial for your particular setup, especially when dealing with a vehicle of this age and capability.
