8" 1967-1972 GMC Pickup 1/2 & 3/4 ton 4WD Lift Kit (w/rear leaf springs) by Skyjacker

The Skyjacker C280AKS 8-Inch Suspension Lift Kit for 1967-1972 GMC 1/2-Ton and 3/4-Ton 4WD pickup models is a complete front and rear leaf spring suspension system designed to deliver substantial ground clearance, increased tire clearance, and an aggressive lifted stance. The system combines Skyjacker 8-inch Softride front and rear leaf springs with front and rear U-bolt kits, leaf spring bushings, brake line brackets, and supporting suspension hardware. Shock configurations include no shocks, Hydro 7000 shocks, Nitro 8000 shocks, BlackMAX shocks, or M95 shocks.

Skyjacker 8-inch Softride front leaf springs replace the factory front spring packs to increase ride height while maintaining controlled suspension movement and useful articulation. Matching 8-inch Softride rear leaf springs replace the factory rear spring packs, creating a complete spring-based lift at both axles. This matched front-and-rear configuration provides a balanced suspension setup, increases chassis clearance, and maintains the durable leaf-spring architecture of these classic GMC 4WD pickups.

Front and rear U-bolt kits securely mount the replacement leaf springs to the axles, while the included bushing kit supports smooth and controlled spring movement at the mounting points. Brake line brackets accommodate the increased suspension height and help integrate the taller spring configuration with the factory chassis. By using replacement springs at both ends instead of large rear lift blocks, the C280AKS delivers a comprehensive suspension upgrade for larger tires, increased ground clearance, and demanding street or off-road builds.

You can order the C280AKS without shocks or configure it 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.
