Rough Country 28857RED is a 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2019-2024 GMC Sierra 1500 in 4WD and RWD. The kit pairs red forged aluminum upper control arms with pre-installed POM ball joints, left and right Vertex 2.5 adjustable front struts, and a V2 monotube rear shock pair. Front lift measures 3.5 inches with 2.5 inches at the rear to even out the factory rake.
