Construction & Design:

Skyjacker’s 3-inch UCA Lift Kit is crafted from premium DOM steel tubing, known for its superior strength and uniformity. The material choice ensures the control arms withstand the extreme stresses and loads encountered during off-road driving and heavy-duty use. The addition of a 1/4-inch gusset plate stiffener welded between the arms significantly increases torsional rigidity, reducing flex and enhancing overall suspension stability.

The kit’s ball joints are engineered for optimal pivoting action and are greaseable, allowing for easy maintenance and prolonged durability. The front differential spacer kit is precisely machined to maintain factory driveline geometry, preventing vibration and wear issues commonly associated with lifted trucks. The rear Black Max B8500 shocks are designed to complement the lift height, providing improved damping and control over rough terrain.
