More Information

The Skyjacker C280AK 8-Inch Suspension Lift Kit for 1967-1972 Chevy 1/2-Ton and 3/4-Ton Pickup 4WD models provides substantial ground clearance, increased tire clearance, and an aggressive lifted stance for classic Chevy trucks. The system combines Skyjacker Softride front leaf springs, rear suspension lift components, steering correction hardware, leaf spring bushings, U-bolt hardware, and supporting components to create a comprehensive front-to-rear suspension upgrade. Shock configurations include no shocks, Hydro 7000 shocks, Nitro 8000 shocks, BlackMAX shocks, or M95 shocks.

Skyjacker Softride front leaf springs provide the foundation for the 8-inch front suspension lift, replacing the factory spring packs while maintaining useful suspension movement and articulation. The Softride design balances the substantial increase in ride height with controlled suspension response for street and off-road driving. At the rear, add-a-leaf components work with the factory leaf spring suspension to increase rear ride height and support a balanced front-to-rear stance without requiring a complete rear spring pack replacement.

Steering correction components help compensate for the geometry changes caused by the increased suspension height, supporting proper steering operation with the taller suspension. U-bolt hardware, bushings, and supporting suspension components integrate the lifted spring configuration with the factory axles and chassis. With clearance for up to 40x12.50 tires, the C280AK provides the additional chassis and tire clearance needed for classic Chevy pickup builds focused on larger tires, increased ground clearance, and improved trail capability.

You can order the C280AK without shocks or with Skyjacker Hydro 7000, Nitro 8000, BlackMAX, or M95 shocks. Hydro 7000 shocks provide hydraulic damping for smooth, predictable suspension control, while Nitro 8000 shocks use gas-charged damping for a firmer, more responsive feel. BlackMAX shocks provide durable hydraulic damping for street and trail use, while M95 Performance shocks use a monotube design for consistent damping and improved heat management during more demanding driving conditions. These shock options let you match the 8-inch suspension system to your ride preferences, budget, and performance needs.
