About this kit
3.5-Inch Lift Kit with M1 Struts, fitment-checked
Rough Country 28840RED_A is a 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 in 4WD or RWD, built around an M1 loaded strut pair, an M1 monotube shock pair, and red forged aluminum upper control arms with pre-installed POM ball joints. Diesel models, Denali, Denali Ultimate, AT4, AT4X, and 2019 "Classic" body-style trucks are not covered.
This 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 raises the front 3.5 inches and the rear 2.5 inches, so the truck sits level front to back instead of nose-down. Fitment covers Elevation, Pro, SLE, and SLT submodels in 4WD and RWD; Denali, Denali Ultimate, AT4, AT4X, diesel, and 2019 "Classic" trucks fall outside it. The forged aluminum upper control arms arrive with ball joints already pressed in, which keeps the front-end work moving. A downloadable Rough Country installation guide is available. Read through it before you start. Shipping weight: 92.0 lb.
