About this kit

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

Rough Country 97550 is a 3.5-inch lift kit for compatible 2011-2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD trucks in 4WD or RWD. The kit pairs forged upper control arms with two front Vertex 2.5 shocks and two rear Vertex 2.5 shocks. It does not fit dually models or trucks with Magnetic Ride Control, and rear overload spring requirements apply.

This 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2011-2019 Silverado and Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD covers WT through High Country and Denali trims in both 4WD and RWD, as listed in the fitment section. Along with the main lift hardware and forged torsion bar keys, you get forged aluminum upper control arms and four Vertex 2.5 shocks, front and rear. Installation bolts on with common hand tools and no cutting or drilling; a torsion bar removal tool (1067) makes the job easier. Tire clearance is rated up to 33 inches. A downloadable installation guide is available.
