It's fully reversible, pre-assembled, and ready to tackle rocks, ruts, and whatever terrain you throw at it.

What's included
- Strut Kit Box — Factory-style strut assembly for Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 (07–18), pre-assembled and tested.
- Red Forged Upper Control Arms — High-articulation arms with pre-installed POM ball joints for simplified installation and maximum wheel flex. Available in striking red for custom styling.
- Loaded Strut Pair — Nitrogen-charged N3 struts tuned for 3.5-inch lift height, delivering consistent ride quality and off-road performance.
Important notes
- Control arm compatibility: This kit fits models with cast aluminum or cast steel factory control arms. It does NOT fit models with factory stamped steel control arms — use the 3.5" knuckle kit for those. Confirm your stock control arm material before ordering.
- Model exclusions: Does not fit 2014–2016 Denali models (equipped with Magnetic Ride Control) or models with the eAssist (ECO Hybrid) package due to sensor placement and additional drivetrain components.
- Differential mass damper: Models equipped with a mass damper on the front differential must have it removed to ensure adequate clearance when lowering the differential.
- Tire and wheel fitment: Models retaining factory wheels are advised to run no wider than 11.5" tires. For aggressive sidewall tires or to retain factory wheels, a 0.25" wheel spacer (SKU 1065) will be required for additional clearance.
- Installation: Requires cutting and grinding. Professional installation recommended.
Why customers pick this at Road Runner
