3.5 Inch Lift Kit | Forged Uca | Vertex/v2 | Chevy/gmc 1500 (07-16)

Built for Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 owners who want more ground clearance and the ability to fit 33–35 inch tires, this 3.5-inch lift kit combines forged upper control arms with Vertex shocks to deliver serious off-road capability while keeping your truck's driveline geometry intact. Recommended tire range is 33.0"–35.0", and the included differential drops help maintain proper axle angles for reduced wear and better performance.

What's included

• 3.5" Kit Box — Complete suspension package engineered for your truck's geometry and clearance needs.
• Red Forged Upper Control Arms — High-articulation arms with POM ball joints pre-installed for maximum wheel flex and maintenance-free operation. The striking red finish adds a bold accent to your suspension.
• Vertex 2.5 Adjustable Front Struts (qty 2) — Nitrogen-charged struts tuned for smooth ride quality and controlled articulation over rough terrain.
• V2 Monotube Shock Pair — Premium rear shocks engineered to complement the front struts and maintain balanced suspension performance.
• Heavy-Duty Fabricated Steel Rear Lift Blocks — Superior strength and longer service life compared to cast blocks, built to withstand off-road abuse.
• Differential Drop Brackets — Maintain proper axle angles and reduce driveline wear while you run larger tires.

Important notes

• This kit fits models with cast aluminum or cast steel factory control arms only. It does NOT fit models with factory stamped steel control arms — use the 3.5" knuckle kit instead. Confirm your stock control arm material before ordering.
• 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 equipped with a mass damper on the front differential must have it removed to ensure adequate clearance when lowering the differential.
• Due to CV axle boot clearance, fitment is restricted based on control arm type — confirm compatibility before installation.
• Models retaining factory wheels are advised to run no wider than 11.5" tire width. For aggressive sidewall tires or factory wheels with additional clearance, a 0.25" wheel spacer (SKU 1065) may be required.
• Installation requires cutting and grinding.
• New lift blocks replace the factory-equipped blocks — no reuse of OEM components.
