About this kit
6-Inch Lift Kit with V2 Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 27970 is a 6-inch lift kit for the 2002–2006 Chevy Avalanche 1500, 2000–2006 Chevy Suburban 1500, and 2000–2006 GMC Yukon XL 1500. It ships with a V2 monotube shock pair, front knuckles, a crossmember kit, and 6-inch brackets. Frame bracket modification is part of the job, wheels must measure 17 inches or larger, and models with the auto ride / auto-leveling setup are not covered.
This 6-inch lift kit for the 2002–2006 Chevy Avalanche 1500 and 2000–2006 Chevy Suburban 1500 and GMC Yukon XL 1500 covers 4WD, AWD, and RWD applications across the submodels listed in the fitment section, from Base and SL up through LTZ and SLT. The torsion bars stay in their factory location, and the boxed kit pairs a crossmember assembly and driver and passenger knuckles with a V2 monotube shock pair. Plan on modifying the frame brackets, confirm your wheels are 17 inches or larger, and rule out auto-leveling trucks first. A downloadable installation guide is available.
