6" 2001-2010 Chevy Silverado 2500HD/3500 Lift Kit (w/rear leaf springs) by Skyjacker

The Skyjacker C9681KS-NSP 6-Inch Suspension Lift Kit for 2001-2010 Chevy Silverado 2500HD and 3500 models is a complete heavy-duty suspension system that increases ground clearance, improves tire clearance, and repositions key suspension components for a taller ride height. The system combines replacement steering knuckles, heavy-duty front and rear crossmembers, torsion bar drop brackets, front bump stop brackets, a differential skid plate, 5-inch Skyjacker Softride replacement rear leaf springs, and supporting suspension hardware. Shock options include Skyjacker Hydro 7000, Nitro 8000, M95 Performance, or BlackMAX shocks.

The front suspension uses application-specific replacement steering knuckles and heavy-duty crossmembers to relocate critical suspension mounting points for the 6-inch increase in ride height. Torsion bar drop brackets reposition the factory torsion bar system to work with the taller suspension, while driver- and passenger-side bump stop brackets accommodate the revised suspension position and compression travel. The crossmember-based design provides a strong foundation for the lifted independent front suspension, and the differential skid plate adds protection for critical front drivetrain components.

At the rear, 5-inch Skyjacker Softride leaf springs replace the factory spring packs to match the ride height of the lifted front suspension. The full replacement spring design creates a more complete rear suspension upgrade than relying on large lift blocks for primary ride height, while the Softride construction is engineered to support controlled suspension movement, load distribution, and articulation. Combined with the front suspension system, the replacement rear springs create a balanced lifted stance and provide clearance for up to 35x12.50 tires with properly configured wheels.

The C9681KS-NSP is available with four Skyjacker shock configurations. Hydro 7000 shocks use velocity-sensitive hydraulic damping for smooth and predictable suspension response during everyday street and trail driving. Nitro 8000 shocks use a 150 PSI gas charge for firmer, more responsive damping and increased suspension control. BlackMAX shocks feature advanced foam-cell hydraulic technology for consistent damping without a high-pressure gas charge, while M95 Performance shocks use a 200 PSI gas-charged monotube internal floating piston design with a large 46mm bore for responsive damping, improved heat management, and consistent performance during demanding use.
