GMC Suspension Lift Kits

• Yes. Anytime you modify suspension geometry, an alignment is essential.

• Prevents uneven tire wear, poor handling, and long-term suspension damage.

• Even small lifts can affect toe, camber, and caster angles.

Rough Country recommends getting a professional alignment after installation to keep your ride tracking straight and handling safely.

A suspension lift can affect ride quality, but the right setup makes all the difference. Choose the right shocks, and you’ll notice more capability—not more bumps. Rough Country offers multiple shock and strut options designed to match your vehicle’s new geometry, keeping your ride smooth and controlled.

• Our N3 Shocks balance performance and comfort for daily drivers and weekend warriors.

• Our M1 Monotube Shocks deliver more advanced damping for exceptional ride quality and long-lasting performance.

• Our Vertex Adjustable Reservoir Shocks offer an elite ride-quality in every situation you face, with an 8-stage adjustable damping system that lets you perfectly dial-in your ride for whatever lies ahead.

• Suspension lift: Raises the entire frame and body by upgrading suspension components. More ground clearance and better off-road performance.

• Body lift: Raises the body off the frame using spacers. Cheaper and simpler but doesn’t improve suspension travel or clearance under the frame.

Which to choose? Go with a suspension lift if you want more clearance and better off-road capability. Body lifts are mainly for looks or fitting slightly larger tires on a budget. Rough Country offers both options depending on your goals.

• Consider your goals: Are you trail riding, daily driving, towing, or all of the above?

• Know your vehicle: Year, make, model, and existing modifications matter.

• Decide lift height: 2" to 4" is common for mild builds; 6"+ for aggressive setups.

• Understand what's included: Some kits are basic; others come with shocks, control arms, or driveshaft spacers.

The majority of factory pickups set about two inches high in the rear when empty. This is so the truck's rear end will not be excessively low when the truck is loaded. With most people that lift their rigs, towing and load carrying is not a priority - lifted performance, tire clearance, and vehicle "look" are the primary issues. A more level stance is desired, and extra room is needed on the front, so the tires can clear the fenders when turning. Also, a more even front-to-rear attitude improves an unladen vehicle's weight distribution which generally improves its handling when not carrying a load. Note that on most applications you have the option of altering rear lift height and /or method.
