What's included

  • Knuckles — precision-engineered front geometry correction components for Chevy Silverado 1500 and Avalanche 1500 (07–13).
  • Crossmember Box — high-clearance, low-profile design that maximizes ground clearance and preserves factory attachment points without cutting.
  • 7.5-Inch Universal Kit Box — the core suspension lift architecture engineered for Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 (07–13).
  • Vertex 2.5 Adjustable Front Struts (qty 2, 7-inch) — tunable ride-height front suspension with full-range adjustment for fine-tuned geometry.
  • V2 Monotube Shock Pair — premium rear shocks with anti-axle-wrap technology that keeps factory ride comfort intact while solving common lift-block issues.
  • Heavy-Duty Fabricated Rear Lift Blocks — stronger and longer-lasting than cast alternatives, engineered with anti-wrap geometry to preserve factory suspension behavior.
  • Sway-Bar and Differential Drop Brackets — repositioned for correct geometry after lift, maintaining proper angles and suspension travel.

Important notes

  • Does not fit 2007 "Classic" models. Fitment is limited to standard and HD trim 2007–2013 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 4WD only.
  • Installation requires minor cutting and drilling — not a fully bolt-on system. Road Runner technicians are experienced with these modifications and perform them in-house.
  • 18-inch or larger wheels are required to ensure proper clearance of the supplied knuckles. Do not attempt to run this kit on wheels smaller than 18 inches.
  • AWD models require a new aftermarket driveshaft (Rough Country SKU 5083.1) to eliminate vibration issues after lifting. 4WD models do not need driveshaft work.
  • This kit is engineered to preserve your factory ride quality and does not require drivetrain, exhaust, or differential modifications beyond the drop brackets included in the box.

Why customers pick this at Road Runner

  • Professional alignment after install — geometry is corrected in-house by technicians who perform these lifts every week, ensuring your truck handles and wears tires evenly.
  • Rough Country lifetime warranty backed locally — if anything fails, Road Runner makes it right without shipping parts cross-country.
  • No strut disassembly required — faster installation and lower labor cost compared to traditional systems that demand full teardowns.
  • Fully configurable shock options — choose your ride quality from nitrogen-charged N3s to the high-performance Vertex reservoir series, tailored to your driving style.
  • Factory-grade geometry preservation — anti-axle-wrap blocks and precision drop brackets keep your truck riding like stock, without the harsh rebound or premature wear common to budget lift kits.
