Important Notes

Check Control Arms: GM produced cast steel, stamped steel, and aluminum control arms between 2014 and 2017. Use the reference image to help identify your stock control arms; cast steel will be replaced with cast steel, stamped steel and aluminum control arms will be replaced with aluminum. Factory 17" and 18" wheels cannot be reinstalled due to tie rod end interference. Maximum rear shock length is 29-3/4" due to driveshaft to cross member interference. Requires 1/4" wheel spacer to accommodate stock 20" rims. To reduce trimming required for tire fitment, a 20" wheel with 5.75" backspacing is recommended.
