What's included
- 3.5" Kit Box — Contains all structural and fastening components for the lift installation.
- Red Forged Upper Control Arms — High-articulation arms with pre-installed POM ball joints for wider wheel travel, reduced friction, and simplified setup. The striking red finish adds a custom accent to your suspension.
- M1 Loaded Strut Pair — Nitrogen-charged monotube struts tuned for 3.5-inch lift, delivering consistent damping and a smooth ride over rough terrain.
- M1 Monotube Shock Pair — Rear shocks engineered to complement the lift and maintain proper suspension dynamics under load.
Important notes
- This kit fits models equipped with cast aluminum or cast steel factory control arms only. It does not fit vehicles with stamped steel control arms due to CV axle boot clearance — use the 3.5" knuckle kit instead. Confirm your stock arm type before ordering.
- Does not fit 2014–2016 Denali models — they are equipped with Magnetic Ride Control, which is incompatible with this kit.
- Does not fit eAssist (ECO Hybrid) models due to additional drivetrain components and sensor placement.
- Requires cutting and grinding during installation.
- Models with a factory front differential mass damper must have the damper removed to ensure adequate clearance when lowering the differential.
- Models retaining factory wheels are advised to run no wider than 11.5" tires. For aggressive sidewall tires or to retain factory wheels with larger rubber, a 0.25" wheel spacer (SKU 1065) is recommended for additional clearance.
