Built for Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 owners who want aggressive stance without sacrificing everyday drivability — this 3.5" lifted knuckle kit delivers the ideal blend of commanding ground clearance and factory suspension compatibility. The precision-engineered knuckle design repositions your CV axles for improved clearance from the lower control arms, dramatically reducing boot stress and wear while maintaining a level, front-to-rear stance that eliminates factory rake.

What's included

  • 3.5" Kit Box — The complete lift system engineered for Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 platforms.
  • Cast Steel LCA Knuckles — Lifted knuckles that raise the control arm geometry and reposition the CV axle for superior boot protection and reduced drivetrain wear.
  • Vertex 2.5" Adjustable Front Struts (qty 2) — Nitrogen-charged front suspension components tuned for both off-road performance and on-road comfort across the full 3.5" lift range.
  • Vertex 2.5" Rear Shocks (qty 2) — Configurable rear shocks designed to work across 2–3.5" of rear lift, maintaining proper suspension travel and ride quality.

Important notes

  • Installation requires cutting and grinding — professional installation at Road Runner Wheels & Tires is strongly recommended.
  • Does NOT work with aftermarket control arms; stock factory arms must remain in place.
  • Does NOT fit Denali or Denali Ultimate models equipped with Magnetic Ride Control.
  • Does NOT fit models with the eAssist (ECO Hybrid) package due to additional drivetrain components and sensor placement.
  • Confirm your stock control arms are cast aluminum, cast steel, or stamped steel before ordering — fitment depends on OEM arm construction.
  • On models equipped with a front differential mass damper, the damper must be removed to ensure adequate clearance when lowering the differential.
  • To retain factory wheels, a 0.25" wheel spacer (Rough Country SKU 1065) will be required.
  • Recommended tire range: 33.0"–35.0" for optimal clearance and suspension geometry.

Why customers pick this at Road Runner

  • CV axle boot protection through intelligent knuckle design — dramatically reduces drivetrain wear compared to standard lift kits.
  • Rough Country Limited Lifetime Replacement Guarantee backed locally — we stand behind every kit we install.
  • Professional installation by technicians who perform these lifts every week — precision work, proper alignment, and attention to cutting/grinding details.
  • Alignment performed in-house as part of every lift install — ensures correct caster, camber, and toe after your kit is fitted.
