About this kit

3.5-Inch M1 Lift Kit, fitment-checked

Rough Country 27740RED is a 3.5-inch lift kit for 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 4WD/AWD trucks, built around an M1 loaded strut pair, an M1 monotube shock pair, and red forged upper control arms rated for 2.5-3.5 inches of lift. Confirm whether your factory upper control arms are cast aluminum or cast steel first — trucks with stamped steel arms need the 3.5-inch knuckle kit instead. Cutting and grinding are part of the job.

This 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2007-2013 Silverado 1500 4WD and 2007-2013 Sierra 1500 4WD/AWD (Sierra listings also cover 2010-2013 SLE and SLT) pairs M1 valving front and rear with red forged upper control arms and a fabricated steel rear block that takes the place of the factory block. Differential drop hardware keeps front axle angles in check. It does not cover stamped steel control arm trucks, 2014-2016 Denali models with Magnetic Ride Control, or eAssist hybrid packages, and a front differential mass damper must come off during the build.
