8" 1973-1987 GMC Jimmy 4WD Lift Kit by Skyjacker

The Skyjacker C180AK 8-Inch Suspension Lift Kit for 1973-1987 GMC Jimmy SUVs is a complete suspension system designed to deliver substantial ground clearance, increased tire clearance, and a commanding lifted stance. Built around Skyjacker Softride front leaf springs, this 8-inch lift system provides the height needed for a more capable classic GMC 4WD while improving articulation and off-road performance. Front and rear U-bolts, bushings, rear lift components, and brake line brackets complete the core suspension package.

Skyjacker Softride front leaf springs provide the foundation of the 8-inch front lift and are designed to balance increased suspension height with controlled ride characteristics. The complete system replaces and repositions key suspension components to accommodate the dramatic increase in ride height while providing the durability needed for street, trail, and recreational off-road use. Rear lift components work with the front springs to create a balanced stance and maintain consistent suspension performance from front to rear.

The C180AK is available with multiple shock configurations to match different budgets and performance requirements. You can order the kit without shocks or pair it with Skyjacker Hydro shocks, Nitro shocks, Black MAX shocks, or M95 shocks. Hydro shocks provide a comfortable hydraulic damping option for general street and trail use, while Nitro gas shocks provide firmer, more responsive damping. Black MAX shocks offer a performance-oriented twin-tube design focused on controlled ride quality and durability, while M95 monotube shocks provide more consistent damping and better heat management for more demanding driving conditions.

With 8 inches of suspension lift and a complete selection of supporting suspension components, the C180AK provides a comprehensive solution for transforming a 1973-1987 GMC Jimmy 4WD SUV. The combination of Softride leaf springs, rear lift components, suspension hardware, and selectable Skyjacker shock packages lets you configure the system for everything from a classic lifted street truck to a more aggressive off-road build.
