About this kit

3.5-Inch M1 Lift Kit, fitment-checked

M1 loaded struts and an M1 monotube shock pair sit on top of cast steel LCA knuckles here, lifting 2014–2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 4WD trucks 3.5 inches. The knuckles are specific to cast steel lower control arms — cast aluminum and stamped steel arms take a different kit. Denali, Denali Ultimate, and eAssist trucks are excluded, and the install requires cutting and grinding.

Cast steel lower control arms and M1 damping define this 3.5-inch lift kit for 2014–2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 4WD trucks, the 2019 Silverado 1500 LD, and the Sierra 1500 Limited. M1 loaded struts carry the front, an M1 monotube pair handles the rear, and the cast steel knuckles set the height without swapping springs. Confirm the lower control arm material before ordering — this kit will not fit cast aluminum or stamped steel arms — and rule out Denali, Denali Ultimate, and eAssist trucks. Cutting and grinding required; a downloadable installation guide is available.
