Rough Country 28850RED is a 3.5-inch lift kit for supported 2019-2024 GMC Sierra 1500 models in 4WD and RWD. The box pairs red forged aluminum upper control arms with adjustable Vertex 2.5 front struts and a matched pair of Vertex 2.5 rear shocks, raising the front 3.5 inches and the rear 2.5 inches to even out factory rake.
This 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2019-2024 GMC Sierra 1500 covers Base, Pro, Elevation, SLE, and SLT trims, plus the 2022 Sierra 1500 Limited and the 2019-2023 Sierra SLE 4WD listings shown in the fitment section. Front lift measures 3.5 inches and rear lift 2.5 inches. Forged aluminum upper arms ship with POM ball joints already pressed in to shorten assembly time.
