Built for GMC Sierra 1500 owners who want a balanced lift without going all-in on maximum height, this 3.5-inch Vertex suspension lift kit raises the front 3.5 inches and levels the rear 2.5 inches for an aggressive, leveled stance. The forged aluminum upper control arms preserve factory suspension geometry, so your truck rides and handles like it was engineered this way — and you'll clear up to 35-inch tires with confidence.
