Skyjacker C160BKS-H Softride 6 in. Suspension Lift Kit with Hydro Shocks

The Skyjacker C160BKS-H is a 6-inch Softride front and rear suspension lift kit paired with Skyjacker's Hydro shocks, purpose-built for 1973–1987 GM 3/4-ton trucks equipped with 52-inch rear leaf springs. Engineered to deliver a smooth, controlled ride both on and off the road, this kit raises ride height for increased ground clearance and the ability to run larger wheels and tires without sacrificing everyday drivability.

Softride Spring Technology:

• Skyjacker's proprietary Softride leaf springs feature tapered leaf ends that distribute loads more evenly across a greater surface area
• Individually shot-peened with hard steel pellets at high velocity for increased spring strength and durability
• Tapering reduces leaf-on-leaf contact and increases suspension flex for improved articulation

Kit Highlights:

• 6 inches of suspension lift height
• Includes Hydro shocks for smooth, responsive damping on and off road
• For use with 52-inch rear leaf springs
• Front and rear lift components included
• All necessary mounting hardware and U-bolt kits included
• Detailed installation instructions included
• Available for 2WD and 4WD applications

Important Installation Notes:

• Requires a 4-inch Offset Drag Link (Skyjacker part# GMDL4)
• Vehicles equipped with OEM front sway bar require a 6–8 inch Sway Bar Lowering Bracket (part# SBL40)
• A Transfer Case Lowering Kit (part# TCL15) is required for 4WD applications
• Big Block and Diesel-equipped models require additional Front Fitted Leafs (part# FLC160 for 1973–87 K10/K15/K20/K25/K30)
