About the 7 Inch Lift Kit | Chevy/GMC 1500 (14-18)

Bold Lift, Balanced Stance: Transform your Chevy/GMC 1500 with Rough Country's 7-Inch Lift Kit, delivering a head-turning, aggressive profile while maintaining OEM compatibility. This system lets you run 35-inch tires on factory 18 or 20-inch wheels-no extra modifications needed. The result? A leveled, front-to-rear stance that boosts both curb appeal and on-road confidence.

Engineered for Extreme Terrain: Conquer off-road challenges with the high-clearance crossmember design, built to maximize ground clearance and improve obstacle navigation. Whether you're blazing trails or navigating uneven work sites, this lift kit enhances performance where it matters most. The fully configurable design pairs perfectly with any shock or strut setup-from Rough Country's N3 series to premium Vertex reservoir systems-so you can customize your ride quality to your preference.

Precision Fit, Superior Strength: Crafted from 100% laser-cut materials with advanced CAD engineering, this kit ensures a flawless fit and reliable installation. The fabricated rear blocks are tougher than cast alternatives, designed for long-lasting durability and structural integrity. Plus, Rough Country's exclusive anti-axle wrap technology helps preserve your truck's factory ride comfort while eliminating the axle wrap commonly seen with standard lift blocks.

And with Rough Country's Limited Lifetime Warranty, your investment is protected every mile of the way. Elevate your truck's performance and style with confidence-lift it right with Rough Country.
