About this kit

6-Inch Lift Kit, fitment-checked

Rough Country 18400 delivers 6 inches of lift on 2014–2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali and 2017–2018 Sierra Denali 4WD trucks that came with factory cast steel knuckles or control arms. Magnetic Ride Control Denali models are the target application. Cutting and drilling are required, and 33-inch tires clear on the factory 20-inch wheels.

A steel control arm knuckle, the 6-inch front component set, a crossmember box, and fabricated rear blocks make up the kit. It applies to 4WD GMC Sierra 1500 Denali from 2014–2018 and Sierra Denali from 2017–2018 with Magnetic Ride Control. Check the control arm material first — this one is only for cast steel. Cutting and drilling are required, 18-inch or larger wheels are mandatory, tires wider than 33x12.50 need offset wheels and possibly trimming, and a mass damper on the front differential must be removed. Shipping weight: 171 lb.
