What's included
- 3.5" Kit Box — Complete base kit engineered for your 2007–2018 Silverado 1500 or Sierra 1500.
- Forged Upper Control Arms with pre-installed POM ball joints — High-articulation arms deliver wider wheel travel and maintenance-free operation with low-friction ball races and oversized joint design.
- Vertex 2.5 Adjustable Front Shocks (pair) — Nitrogen-charged with reservoir design for responsive handling and tunable ride quality.
- V2 Monotube Shock Pair — Premium rear shocks matched to front performance.
- Heavy-duty fabricated steel rear lift blocks — Superior strength and durability compared to cast alternatives, rated for off-road abuse.
- Differential drop hardware — Maintains proper axle geometry to reduce component wear and enhance driveline longevity.
Important notes
- This kit requires cutting and grinding during installation.
- Fits models equipped with cast aluminum or cast steel factory control arms only. Does NOT fit models with factory stamped steel control arms — use Rough Country's 3.5" knuckle kit instead. Confirm your arm type before purchase.
- Does NOT fit 2014–2016 Denali models (equipped with Magnetic Ride Control).
- Does NOT fit models with the eAssist (ECO Hybrid) package due to additional drivetrain components and sensor placement.
- Models with a front differential mass damper must have it removed to ensure adequate clearance when lowering the differential.
- If retaining factory wheels, stay within 11.5" tire width; a 0.25" wheel spacer (SKU 1065) is recommended for aggressive sidewall tires or additional clearance.
