About this kit
3.5-Inch Lift Kit with Vertex Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 97650 is a 3.5-inch lift kit for 2011–2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD and GMC Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD trucks, built around Vertex 2.5 front and rear shocks, forged upper control arms, and machined steering knuckles. It does not fit dually models or trucks with Magnetic Ride Control, and the rear spring configuration must be confirmed against the fitment notes before ordering. Covered by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.
This 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2011–2019 Silverado 2500 HD/3500 HD and Sierra 2500 HD/3500 HD ships as a complete package: the lift hardware, forged upper control arms, driver and passenger knuckles, two Vertex 2.5 front shocks and two Vertex 2.5 rear shocks rated across a 3.5–7.5 inch range. Rough Country describes the install as bolt-on with no cutting, drilling, or welding, and a torsion bar removal tool (part 1067) makes the front work easier. Check the dually and Magnetic Ride Control exclusions plus your rear spring setup, then work from the downloadable installation guide.
