About this kit
2-Inch Lowering Kit, fitment-checked
Rough Country 726 is a 2-inch lowering kit for 1988–1999 Chevy and GMC C1500 2WD trucks, including the 1992–1999 C1500 Suburban. It pairs 2-inch lowering spindles up front with rear lowering shackles for an even 2-inch drop at both ends, bolts on with factory mounting points, and can be realigned to factory specs or returned to stock height later.
This 2-inch lowering kit for the 1988–1999 Chevy and GMC C1500 2WD covers the C1500 pickup across Base, Scottsdale, Cheyenne, Silverado, WT, LS, 454 SS, and Sierra trims, plus the 1992–1999 C1500 Suburban. The front drop comes from lowering spindles, the rear from shackles and hardware, so the truck sits level rather than nose-down. One caveat before ordering: on 1988–1991 standard cab trucks the install calls for rotors and bearings taken from a 1988–1998 extended cab. Rough Country lists the job at 2-3 hours, and a downloadable installation guide is available.
