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

Built for Chevy and GMC 1500 owners who want a bold, leveled stance with room for bigger tires — this 7-inch lift kit delivers an aggressive profile while keeping you compatible with factory 18 or 20-inch wheels. You'll gain the clearance to run 37–40 inch tires and the high-clearance crossmember design to tackle rough terrain without sacrificing your truck's ride quality or factory comfort.

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

• Steel Control Arm Knuckle — precision-engineered to maintain proper geometry and suspension alignment after the lift is installed.
• 7-inch Crossmember Box — laser-cut for a flawless fit and designed to maximize ground clearance without compromising structural integrity.
• 174 Universal Kit Box — contains all remaining hardware, brackets, and fasteners needed for a complete installation.
• Vertex 2.5 Adjustable Front Shocks (qty 2) — nitrogen-charged shocks with full adjustability to dial in your ride height and damping.
• Vertex 2.5 Rear Shocks (qty 2) — premium rear dampers engineered with anti-axle wrap technology to preserve your truck's factory ride comfort while eliminating common axle wrap issues.

Important notes

• Requires cutting and drilling. Confirm that your stock control arms are cast aluminum, cast steel, or stamped steel before ordering — this affects fitment.
• Does NOT fit Denali or Denali Ultimate 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.
• 18-inch or larger wheels are required. If using tires wider than 35×12.50 R20, offset wheels will be required and trimming may be necessary — test fit wheels before final installation.
• To retain factory wheels, a 0.25-inch wheel spacer (SKU 1065) is required.
• Installation of larger tires will require Rough Country's Speedometer Calibrator (SKU 90009) to maintain accurate speed and mileage readings.
