About this kit

3.5-Inch Vertex 2.5 and V2 Lift Kit, fitment-checked

Adjustable Vertex 2.5 shocks at the front and a V2 monotube pair at the rear, riding on cast steel LCA knuckles for 3.5 inches of lift on 2014–2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 4WD trucks. Confirm the lower control arms are cast steel first. Denali, Denali Ultimate, and eAssist trucks are excluded, and the install requires cutting and grinding.

This 3.5-inch lift kit serves 2014–2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 4WD trucks with cast steel lower control arms, and splits the damping: adjustable Vertex 2.5 shocks at the front, a V2 monotube pair at the rear. Cast steel knuckles create the height, leaving the factory springs and front geometry largely as they were. Before ordering, verify the control arm material and check the truck against the exclusions — Denali, Denali Ultimate, and eAssist models will not work, and neither will aftermarket control arms. Cutting and grinding are required, and a downloadable installation guide is available.
