8" 1973-1986 GMC Suburban 3/4 ton 4WD Lift Kit (w/56" rear leaf springs) by Skyjacker

The Skyjacker C180BKSD 8-Inch Suspension Lift Kit for 1973-1986 GMC 3/4-Ton Suburban 4WD models delivers substantial ride height, increased ground clearance, and more room for larger tire combinations. This system combines Skyjacker Softride front and rear leaf springs with supporting suspension components to create a complete front-to-rear lift package for the heavy-duty Suburban platform. The 8-inch lift delivers the aggressive stance expected from a full suspension system while maintaining the rugged leaf-spring configuration used on these classic 3/4-ton 4WD models.

Skyjacker Softride leaf springs form the foundation of the C180BKSD suspension system, replacing the factory springs to increase ride height while maintaining useful suspension movement and articulation. The front and rear spring components are designed to work together as a matched lifted suspension package, providing a balanced stance and increased chassis clearance. Supporting U-bolts, bushings, and related suspension hardware integrate the taller spring configuration with the factory suspension layout.

The C180BKSD 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 and more responsive damping profile. BlackMAX shocks utilize a foam-cell hydraulic design for consistent performance, while M95 monotube shocks provide improved heat dissipation and controlled damping for more demanding street and off-road applications.

With its 8-inch lift height, Softride leaf-spring construction, and multiple shock configurations, the C180BKSD provides a comprehensive suspension upgrade for the 1973-1986 GMC 3/4-ton Suburban. This system suits classic Suburban builds that need more ground clearance, increased tire clearance, and a significantly taller stance while retaining a durable leaf-spring suspension design for street, trail, and recreational off-road use.
