About this kit

3.5-Inch Lift Kit with Vertex 2.5 Front and V2 Rear Shocks, fitment-checked

A mixed damping setup: adjustable Vertex 2.5 units handle the front corners while a V2 monotube pair takes the rear. Forged upper control arms with pre-installed ball joints complete the 3.5-inch front, 2.5-inch rear lift for 2022-2024 Silverado 1500 trucks. Excluded: 2019 Classic body style, Adaptive Ride Control, LT and Custom Trail Boss, and ZR2. Diesel trucks fall outside the strut coverage.

This 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2022-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 splits the difference on damping — side-specific adjustable Vertex 2.5 units at the front, a V2 monotube shock pair at the rear — and pairs them with forged aluminum upper control arms. Front lift is 3.5 inches and rear lift 2.5 inches, which brings the truck level front to back. Trucks with Adaptive Ride Control, LT or Custom Trail Boss trims, ZR2, and the 2019 Classic body style are all outside the fitment. Shipping weight is 123.5 lb.
