About the 2-3 Inch Lift Kit | Chevy/GMC K1500 Truck/SUV (88-99)

Upgrade Your OBS GM 1500 with Proven Strength and Performance: Rough Country's 2-3-Inch Lift Kit for the 1988-1998 GM 1500 now includes heavy-duty forged aluminum upper control arms equipped with OEM-style rubber bushings for smooth, quiet operation. These arms are available with an optional bold red powder-coated finish for added style and corrosion resistance.
