Product Reviews – SEALFIT Chase Truck Build Part 1
Lift Kit from Tuff Country Lifts
Our friends over at SEALFIT hit us up this spring to help them with a little project. They had a 2004 Chevy 2500HD 4×4 truck that was getting pretty beat up supporting their events. Our solution… Reach out to some of our friends in the off-road industry and get them a rock solid support truck to suit their needs.
SEALFIT identified 5 main issues with their truck, 1st their leveling kit was chewing up their CV joint boots and the torsion bar crank was causing an extremely rough ride. They needed taller tires, 33″ tires were already rubbing and they needed to go bigger. Stock lights on the truck were insufficient, they needed 360 degrees of light. They also had some damage and some weak areas included the rear window and the bumpers.
Phase 1 Lift Kit.
The goal for the truck was a lift that could accommodate 35″ BFG A/T’s. A great desert tire that works well in snow and wet conditions. To fit these tires, we hit up Tuff Country Lifts.
Solution: Tuff Country’s 4″ 3 Piece Lift Kit for the Chevy 2500HD 4×4. Click Here for All Products from Tuff Country
Install on the Tuff Country lift was 8 hours or so and involved minor cutting, we also replaced everything we could including bushings, a – arms, idler arm and pitman, brakes etc.
Off Road Test:
The SEALFIT crew put their newly lifted truck through their 50 Hour Kokoro Event immediately after the install. Results. They loved it. 50 Hours of off road driving resulted in a smoother ride, better traction, tires no longer rubbed, the 4″ height still allowed easy access to the truck bed. The Tuff Country 3 piece lift kit also includes a much more substantial skid plate.
NavySEALs.com and SEALFIT can’t thank Tuff Country Lifts enough for the support. Their Made in USA products exceeded our expectations. SEALFIT has logged well over 400 hours offroad with this kit with zero issues. HOOYAH!
