8" 1988-1991 GMC Suburban 1/2 ton 4WD Lift Kit by Skyjacker

The Skyjacker C180AK8 8-Inch Suspension Lift Kit for 1988-1991 GMC Suburban 1/2 Ton 4WD models provides substantial ground clearance, increased suspension travel, and room for up to 39x12.50 tires. Built around Skyjacker Softride front leaf springs, this system raises the Suburban a full 8 inches while using rear lift components to create a balanced stance. Front and rear U-bolt kits, leaf spring bushings, brake line brackets, and the supporting lift components complete the package for a comprehensive suspension upgrade.

Skyjacker Softride front leaf springs provide the foundation for the increased front ride height while maintaining the flexibility needed for controlled suspension movement on the street and trail. At the rear, lift blocks work with Softride rear add-a-leafs to achieve the required suspension height and support the increased stance. The combination of front replacement springs and rear suspension components provides additional tire clearance and ground clearance while retaining the durable leaf-spring suspension design of the classic Blazer.

The C180AK8 can be configured without shocks or paired with Skyjacker Hydro 7000, Nitro 8000, BlackMAX, or M95 shocks. Hydro 7000 shocks use hydraulic velocity-sensitive damping for smooth, controlled performance, while Nitro 8000 shocks feature a 150 PSI gas-charged design for more responsive suspension control. BlackMAX shocks use an advanced foam-cell hydraulic design, while M95 shocks feature a 200 PSI gas-charged monotube design with an internal floating piston for consistent damping and heat management during more demanding use.

With 8 inches of lift and support for up to 39x12.50 tires, the C180AK8 provides the height and clearance needed to transform a 1988-1991 GMC Suburban 1/2 Ton into a more aggressive street and off-road build. The combination of Softride leaf-spring technology, front and rear suspension hardware, rear add-a-leafs, and multiple shock packages lets you configure the suspension around different ride preferences, budgets, and performance needs.
