8" 1973-1986 GMC Pickup 3/4 ton 4WD Lift Kit (w/rear leaf springs) by Skyjacker

The Skyjacker C180BKS 8-Inch Suspension Lift Kit for 1973-1986 GMC 3/4-Ton Pickup 4WD models is a complete front and rear leaf spring suspension system designed to provide substantial ground clearance, increased tire clearance, and an aggressive lifted stance. The system uses Skyjacker Softride lift springs at the front and rear to increase ride height while retaining the durable leaf-spring suspension design of these classic 3/4-ton trucks. The full spring-based configuration provides a strong foundation for builds focused on larger tires, increased clearance, and improved street and off-road capability.

Skyjacker Softride front and rear leaf springs replace the factory spring packs, providing increased suspension height without relying on rear lift blocks as the primary source of lift. The Softride spring design is engineered to maintain useful suspension movement and articulation while supporting the additional ride height of an 8-inch system. Matching replacement springs at both axles also create a balanced suspension configuration, while front and rear U-bolts, bushings, brake line components, and supporting hardware complete the core suspension package.

The C180BKS is available without shocks or can be configured with Skyjacker Hydro 7000, Nitro 8000, BlackMAX, or M95 shocks. Hydro 7000 shocks provide velocity-sensitive hydraulic damping for smooth, predictable suspension control, while Nitro 8000 gas-charged shocks deliver a firmer, more responsive damping profile. BlackMAX shocks use a foam-cell hydraulic design for consistent performance, while M95 monotube shocks provide enhanced heat dissipation and precise damping control for more demanding street, trail, and off-road driving.

With 8 inches of suspension lift and a complete front and rear Softride leaf spring configuration, the C180BKS provides a comprehensive suspension upgrade for 1973-1986 GMC3/4-ton 4WD pickups. The combination of substantial ride height, replacement leaf springs, supporting suspension hardware, and multiple selectable shock packages lets you configure the system to match different ride preferences and performance demands while delivering the clearance and stance expected from a full 8-inch suspension lift.
