5 Inch Lift Kit | Torsion Drop | Vertex | Chevy/gmc 2500hd/3500hd (20-26)

Built for Chevy and GMC 2500HD/3500HD owners who want a signature torsion-drop stance with 5 inches of lift, this Rough Country kit delivers the aggressive look and ground clearance you're after while preserving factory geometry and ride quality. The torsion-drop design maintains your truck's original track width, so handling stays composed, and you'll have the tire clearance to run 33–35 inch rubber without compromise.

Installed and serviced at Road Runner Wheels & Tires. Most lift kits go in the same day. Call (678) 400-6467 to schedule.

What's included

• Driver and passenger knuckles — precision-cast replacements that maintain factory mounting geometry and axle angle alignment.
• Front and rear crossmember boxes — 1/4-inch laser-cut steel welded assemblies that anchor the lift structure and distribute load evenly.
• Torsion bar drop brackets (pair) — 1/4-inch thick fabricated steel that lowers the torsion bar mounts to achieve the 5-inch lift while keeping track width stock.
• Vertex 2.5 front shocks (pair) — tuned for the 5–7 inch range to match your new ride height and absorb terrain with control.
• Vertex 2.5 rear shocks (pair) — designed for 3.5–7.5 inch lift compatibility, delivering balanced spring preload and damping.
• Skid plate, brake line relocation brackets, sway bar links, and all hardware — complete bolt-together package with no differential modifications needed.

Important notes

• Does NOT fit dually models.
• Does NOT fit vehicles equipped with rear overload springs.
• Does NOT fit AT4X or ZR2 models, which come factory-equipped with 1.5-inch lift and Multimatic DSSV dampers.
• Does NOT work with factory wheels — you'll need aftermarket wheel fitment for proper backspacing and offset.
• Gas models may require exhaust modification for driveshaft clearance; diesel models are unaffected.
