About this kit
3.5-Inch Lift Kit with Vertex Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 97650RED is a 3.5-inch lift kit for 2011-2019 Chevy Silverado 2500HD/3500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD. The kit pairs Vertex 2.5 front and rear shocks with red powdercoated forged upper control arms and machined driver- and passenger-side knuckles. It does not fit dually models or trucks with Magnetic Ride Control, and rear overload spring configuration determines fitment — confirm yours in the fitment notes first.
This 3.5-inch lift kit for the 2011-2019 Chevy Silverado 2500HD/3500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD bolts on without cutting, drilling, or welding, using forged indexed torsion bar keys up front and precision knuckles to keep CV and driveline angles in check. Vertex 2.5 shocks are matched front and rear, and the red forged upper control arms hold factory geometry through the added travel. A torsion bar removal tool, part 1067, makes the job easier. Dually and Magnetic Ride Control trucks are excluded. A downloadable installation guide is available. Coverage runs WT through High Country and Denali in 4WD and RWD.
