About this kit

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

Rough Country 26050 is a 5-inch lift kit for 2011-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD/3500 HD and GMC Sierra 2500 HD/3500 HD in 4WD and RWD, built around Vertex 2.5 front and rear shocks. It does not fit dually models or trucks with Magnetic Ride Control, and factory wheels cannot be reused.

This 5-inch lift kit for the 2011-2019 Silverado and Sierra 2500 HD/3500 HD ships as a crate of labeled boxes: a crossmember box, front and rear bracket and kit boxes, driver and passenger knuckles, and two pairs of Vertex 2.5 shocks front and rear. Plan on minor cutting and drilling, removal of the factory rear overload springs where fitted, and possible exhaust clearance work on gas trucks. Aftermarket wheels are required, sized 17-inch or larger on trucks that left the factory with 17-inch wheels. A downloadable Rough Country installation guide is available.
