Skyjacker C280AKSS-N 8 in. Suspension Lift System with Nitro Shocks for 52 in. Rear Spring

The Skyjacker C280AKSS-N is an 8-inch suspension lift system engineered for 1969–1972 Suburban applications equipped with 52-inch rear leaf springs. Designed to deliver a balanced combination of off-road capability and on-road comfort, this complete lift system raises ride height by a full 8 inches front and rear while preserving a smooth, controlled driving experience.

At the heart of this system are Skyjacker's Nitro 8000 Series shock absorbers — nitrogen gas-charged units featuring true velocity-sensitive valving that instantly adapts to changing terrain. Whether navigating smooth highways or demanding off-road trails, the Nitro shocks deliver a stable, controlled ride with improved handling and reduced body roll.

Key Features:

• 8-inch lift front and rear for increased ground clearance and aggressive stance
• Includes Skyjacker Nitro 8000 gas-charged shock absorbers with velocity-sensitive valving
• Leaf spring-based lift — both front and rear lift via leaf springs
• Compatible with vehicles equipped with 52-inch rear leaf springs
• Components are powder coated black for corrosion resistance
• Comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions
• Limited lifetime warranty on suspension components

Installation Notes: Driveline and exhaust modifications are required with this lift. Vehicles equipped with a factory front sway bar require lowering bracket (part number SBL40). Vehicles with 4-bolt closed knuckle steering should order an offset drag link (part number GMDL4) in place of the included CA100. Extended brake lines are recommended for 8,600+ GVW (3/4-ton) vehicles and drum brake configurations — consult Skyjacker's brake line reference chart for the correct part numbers for your application.
