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.
