2-2.5" 1997-1998 GMC Pickup 1500 4WD Lift Kit by Skyjacker

The Skyjacker C2567K 2-2.5-Inch Suspension Lift Kit for 1997-1998 GMC K1500 Pickup 4WD models increases ground clearance, improves suspension geometry, and adds tire clearance while maintaining the factory independent front suspension layout. The system includes replacement front A-arms, differential relocation brackets, extended front brake lines, rear add-a-leafs, and supporting suspension hardware for a complete front-to-rear lift package. Shock configurations include no shocks, Hydro 7000 shocks, Nitro 8000 shocks, BlackMAX shocks, or M95 shocks.

Heavy-duty replacement front A-arms provide the geometry required for the increased suspension height while maintaining controlled front suspension movement. Differential brackets reposition the front differential to help maintain more favorable CV axle operating angles after lifting, reducing the excessive driveline angles that can occur when increasing ride height on an IFS truck. Extended front brake lines provide the additional length needed to accommodate the taller suspension and increased range of movement.

At the rear, Skyjacker add-a-leafs supplement the factory leaf spring packs to increase ride height and complement the lifted front suspension. This design retains the factory rear spring assemblies while adding support and height through an additional spring leaf. Combined with the front suspension components, the rear lift creates a balanced stance while providing additional chassis and tire clearance for street and recreational off-road use.

You can order the C2567 K without shocks or with Skyjacker Hydro 7000, Nitro 8000, BlackMAX, or M95 shocks. Hydro 7000 shocks provide velocity-sensitive hydraulic damping for smooth, predictable ride control, while Nitro 8000 shocks use gas-charged damping for a firmer, more responsive suspension feel. BlackMAX shocks feature foam-cell hydraulic technology for consistent performance, while M95 monotube shocks provide more consistent damping and improved heat management for more demanding driving conditions. These shock options let you match the lift system to your ride preferences, budget, and performance needs.
