About this kit

3.5-Inch Lift Kit with N3 Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 28831_A lifts the front of a supported 2025-2026 GMC Sierra 1500 by 3.5 inches and the rear by 2.5 inches for a level stance. The kit pairs forged aluminum upper control arms with an N3 shock pair and loaded struts. It does not fit Denali, Denali Ultimate, AT4, AT4X, or diesel models, and installation requires cutting and drilling.

This 3.5 inch lift kit for the 2025-2026 GMC Sierra 1500 covers Elevation, Pro, SLE, and SLT submodels in both 4WD and RWD form. Contents are a forged upper control arm set, a loaded strut pair rated for the 3.5 inch front height, and an N3 shock pair for the rear. The aluminum arms use POM ball joints that arrive pre-installed with a wide range of motion. Confirm your trim against the exclusion list first, then work through the downloadable Rough Country installation guide before you start cutting and drilling. Shipping weight: 46.0 lb.
