About this kit

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

Rough Country 21030 is a 6-inch lift kit for 1977-1987 Chevy K20/K20 Suburban/V20 Suburban and GMC K25/K2500 4WD trucks and Suburbans. It uses front and rear lifted leaf springs with application-valved N3 series shocks. It fits only vehicles built with 52-inch rear leaf springs, so measure before ordering.

This 6-inch lift kit for the 1977-1987 Chevy and GMC 3/4-ton 4WD trucks and Suburbans replaces the leaf springs at both ends rather than stacking spacers, and adds a raised steering arm plus brake line relocation brackets up front. The rear side ships with U-bolts, a bushing kit, and installation hardware. Verify that your truck has 52-inch rear leaf springs first; if it carries a front sway bar, drop brackets (SKU 1019) are recommended and ordered separately. Rough Country lists an install time of 6 - 8 hours, and a downloadable installation guide is available for the sequence.
