About this kit

6-Inch Lift Kit, fitment-checked

Six inches of lift for the 2014–2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali 4WD, sized so 33-inch tires fit under factory 20-inch wheels (Rough Country 18201). Trucks need factory cast aluminum or stamped steel control arms and Magnetic Ride Control. Cutting and drilling are part of the install, and wheels must be 18 inches or larger.

Both the 2014–2018 Sierra 1500 Denali and the 2017–2018 Sierra Denali are covered, in 4WD only. An aluminum control arm knuckle, a high-clearance crossmember, and fabricated rear blocks handle the geometry, and the kit is built for trucks that keep Magnetic Ride Control. Before ordering, confirm the factory control arms are cast aluminum or stamped steel. The install requires cutting and drilling, removal of any front differential mass damper, and 18-inch or larger wheels; tires wider than 33x12.50 mean offset wheels and possible trimming. Shipping weight: 174 lb.
