- Vertex 2.5" Adjustable Front Struts (qty 2) — Nitrogen-charged front suspension tuned for 3.5-inch lift geometry.

Important notes
- Requires cutting and grinding during installation.
- Fits models with cast aluminum or cast steel factory control arms only. Does NOT fit models with factory stamped steel control arms — use the 3.5" knuckle kit instead. Confirm your stock control arm material before purchase.
- Does NOT fit 2014–2016 Denali models equipped with Magnetic Ride Control.
- Does NOT fit models with eAssist (ECO Hybrid) package due to additional drivetrain components and sensor placement.
- Models retaining factory wheels should run no wider than 11.5" tires. A 0.25" wheel spacer (SKU 1065) is recommended for aggressive sidewall tires or additional clearance on factory wheels.
- Models equipped with a mass damper on the front differential must have it removed to ensure adequate differential clearance.
- Recommended tire range: 33–35 inches for optimal fitment.
