About this kit

3.5-Inch Vertex 2.5 Lift Kit with Red Forged Arms, Silverado, fitment-checked

Red forged upper control arms are the visual tell on Rough Country 28250RED, but the substance is the shock package: adjustable Vertex 2.5 units for the left and right front corners plus two Vertex 2.5 rear shocks. It lifts a 2022-2024 Silverado 1500 3.5 inches in front and 2.5 inches at the rear. Trail Boss, ZR2, Adaptive Ride Control, and 2019 Classic body-style trucks are excluded.

Fitting a 3.5-inch lift kit to a 2022-2024 Silverado 1500 in 4WD or RWD, this version pairs red forged aluminum upper control arms with adjustable Vertex 2.5 dampers front and rear. Ball joints are pre-installed in the arms. Rear lift is 2.5 inches, which brings the back of the truck up with the front instead of leaving it sitting low. Check that your truck is not a Trail Boss or ZR2, has no Adaptive Ride Control, and is not the 2019 Classic body style. Shipping weight is 143 lb.
