About this kit

7-Inch Lift Kit with Loaded Struts, fitment-checked

For 2007-2014 Suburban 1500 and Yukon XL 1500 owners who would rather replace the front struts than space them, 28701 packs a 7.5-inch loaded strut pair alongside the high-clearance crossmember, knuckles, and 6-inch rear coil of the 7-inch kit. Wheels 18 inches and up are required. Minor cutting and drilling applies. Auto Ride, auto-leveling, and electric-steering models are excluded.

A 7-inch lift kit for the 2007-2014 Chevy Suburban 1500 and GMC Yukon XL 1500, supplied with a 7.5-inch loaded strut pair so the front struts are replaced outright rather than spaced. The high-clearance crossmember and 6-inch rear coil finish the geometry, and the stock differential mounts, drivetrain, and exhaust are untouched. Wheels of 18 inches or larger are required, and minor cutting and drilling is part of the install. Auto Ride, auto-leveling, and electric-steering models do not fit, and AWD trucks need driveline modification. Shipping weight is 276 lb.
