Rear Spring Measurement: To confirm rear spring size a measurement will have to be pulled from eyelet to eyelet. Vehicles with factory quad shocks (2 front shocks per side) will simply use a single aftermarket shock. Fitment on this page is based on the manufacturer’s application data.

About this kit

2-Inch Lift Kit with N3 Shocks, fitment-checked

A modest 2 inches, done with real leaf springs at both ends rather than blocks (Rough Country 18530). Coverage includes 1973–1976 Chevy K10 and K10 Suburban, K5 Blazer, and GMC Jimmy, K15 and K15 Suburban in 4WD. Two N3 shock pairs are included, 33-inch tires clear, and the truck must have 52-inch rear leaf springs.

Both axles get new 2-inch leaf springs, U-bolts, brake line relocation brackets, and a steering arm, with N3 shocks front and rear. Applications run across 4WD Chevrolet Blazer 1973–1974, K10, K10 Suburban and K5 Blazer 1975–1976, GMC Jimmy 1973–1976, K15 and K15 Suburban 1975–1976, and the K15/K1500 pickup and Suburban 1973–1974. Measure the rear springs eyelet to eyelet first — only 52-inch springs are supported. Sway-bar trucks benefit from drop brackets, part 1019, and factory quad shock front ends use one aftermarket shock per side. Plan on 6–8 hours. Shipping weight: 213 lb.
