8" 1988-1991 Chevy Suburban 1/2 ton 4WD Lift Kit (w/rear leaf springs) by Skyjacker

The Skyjacker C180AKSS8 8-Inch Suspension Lift Kit for 1988-1991 Chevy 1/2-Ton Suburban 4WD models is a complete leaf spring suspension system designed to provide substantial ground clearance, increased tire clearance, and an aggressive lifted stance. The system uses Skyjacker Softride 8-inch front and rear leaf springs to increase ride height, providing a spring-based suspension upgrade on both axles. With clearance for up to 39x12.50 tires, the C180AKSS8 provides the height needed for larger tire combinations while maintaining the classic Chevy Suburban's durable leaf-spring suspension design.

Skyjacker Softride leaf springs form the foundation of the C180AKSS8, replacing the factory front and rear springs with components engineered for the increased suspension height. The matched 8-inch front and rear springs provide a balanced lift while allowing useful suspension movement and articulation for street and off-road driving. The system also incorporates tapered rear lift blocks, front and rear U-bolts, brake line extensions, and supporting suspension hardware to complete the lifted configuration.

The C180AKSS8 can be ordered without shocks or configured with Skyjacker Hydro 7000, Nitro 8000, BlackMAX, or M95 shocks. Hydro 7000 shocks provide velocity-sensitive hydraulic damping for smooth and predictable suspension control, while Nitro 8000 shocks use a 150 PSI gas-charged design for a more responsive damping profile. BlackMAX shocks feature a foam-cell hydraulic design for consistent performance, while M95 shocks use a 200 PSI gas-charged monotube design with an internal floating piston for improved damping consistency and heat management during demanding driving conditions.

With 8 inches of suspension lift, front and rear Softride leaf springs, and support for up to 39x12.50 tires, the C180AKSS8 provides a comprehensive suspension upgrade for the 1988-1991 Chevy 1/2-ton Suburban. The combination of increased ride height, durable leaf-spring construction, supporting suspension hardware, and multiple selectable shock packages makes this system well suited for classic Suburban builds focused on larger tires, additional ground clearance, and improved street and off-road capability.
