3.5 Inch Lift Kit | Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra 1500 (2007-2013) 2WD | w/ Nitro Series Shocks | Zone Offroad

This kit is configured with Nitro Series rear shocks, featuring an internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design with a large 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, race-developed high-flow piston design, application-specific valving, and a long-lasting silver coated finish.

Overview

This lift kit is built around heavy-duty replacement upper control arms that dwarf the factory components and provide a significantly improved range of motion. These upgraded UCAs are made from fully welded, 1/8" steel plate with CNC-machined ball joint and bushing mounts. High-quality, greasable factory-style ball joints handle heavy-duty use and work in conjunction with stock-style rubber mount bushings to provide a quiet ride. A fully integrated front differential drop and differential skid plate system relocates the differential for optimal driveline angles.

Strut spacers provide a full 3.5" of front lift and install on the factory struts without the need of a strut compressor. A rear 3" block and U-bolt system nets 2" of rear lift and provides a level vehicle stance.
