7 Inch Lift Kit | Alum/stamp Steel | Vertex | Chevy/gmc 1500 (14-18 & Classic)

Built for Chevy and GMC 1500 owners who want an aggressive stance and serious ground clearance without sacrificing factory compatibility, Rough Country's 7-Inch Lift Kit delivers a head-turning profile while keeping your truck balanced front-to-rear. This system supports 37"–40" tires on factory 18 or 20-inch wheels and preserves OEM driveline geometry with precision-engineered components designed to eliminate axle wrap.

What's included

• 7-Inch Aluminum Stamped Steel Driver Knuckle — Precision laser-cut and engineered for exact fitment and durability on the driver side.
• 7-Inch Aluminum Stamped Steel Passenger Knuckle — Matches driver side construction for balanced lift geometry across the front axle.
• 7-Inch Crossmember Box — High-clearance design maximizes ground clearance for off-road performance and obstacle navigation.
• 7-Inch Box — Structural support component for 2WD models, fabricated from precision laser-cut steel.
• Vertex 2.5 Adjustable Front Shocks (pair) — Nitrogen-charged units with ride-height adjustment for personalized comfort and performance tuning.
• Vertex 2.5 Rear Shocks (pair) — Fixed rear dampers paired with fabricated anti-axle-wrap blocks to preserve factory ride quality while eliminating axle wrap.

Important notes

• Requires cutting and drilling during installation. Confirm whether your stock control arms are cast aluminum, cast steel, or stamped steel before ordering — fitment depends on this specification.
• Does not fit Denali or Denali Ultimate models equipped with Magnetic Ride Control.
• Does not fit models with eAssist (ECO Hybrid) package due to additional drivetrain components and sensor placement.
• Factory 18-inch or larger wheels are required. Wheels wider than 35x12.50 R20 will require offset wheels, and trimming may be necessary — test fit before final installation.
• To retain factory wheels, a 0.25" wheel spacer (SKU: 1065) is required.
• Installation of tires larger than factory specification requires Rough Country's Speedometer Calibrator (SKU: 90009) to maintain accurate speed and odometer readings.
