Configured for trucks with Cast Steel factory control arms. Front lift is achieved via Cross Member & Strut Spacer (4.5" front lift), paired with Zone Nitro Series rear shocks and a rear lift block (4" rear lift). Factory OE front struts are retained.
Overview
The Zone Offroad 4.5-inch Lift Kit is designed for 2014–2018 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 4WD trucks. This system delivers the height, stance, and clearance needed to run 33-inch tires while maintaining solid ride quality and dependable handling. Improved ground clearance and a more aggressive look are achieved without sacrificing everyday drivability.
Because GM produced these trucks with three different factory upper control arm designs — cast steel, stamped steel, and aluminum — this kit is offered in configurations matched to each variation. Select the correct control arm type before ordering to ensure proper fitment. Multiple shock and strut package options are also available to tailor the suspension to your preference.
