MAXRACING 1.5" Leveling Lift Kit for 2007–2026 GM 1500 Trucks & SUVs — CNC Billet Aluminum, Anodized Black

MAXRACING's 1.5" leveling lift kit raises the front of compatible 1500-series GM trucks and SUVs for a balanced stance and improved clearance while retaining factory ride quality.

This CNC-machined aluminum leveling spacer is engineered to work with factory steel lower control arms on select 2007–2026 Chevrolet and GMC 1500 platforms, including Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon XL1500, and Avalanche models (with several important exclusions). It provides a simple bolt-on solution to eliminate front rake, accommodate larger tires, and increase approach clearance without the complexity of a full suspension lift.

Which vehicles will this MAXRACING leveling kit fit?

This kit is designed for many GM 1500 trucks and full-size SUVs from model years 2007 through 2026, but it does not fit certain trim levels and generations. Confirm your vehicle’s model year and factory equipment before ordering to ensure compatibility.

• Compatible: select 2007–2026 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon XL1500, Avalanche, and similar 1500-platform vehicles.
• Not compatible with 2014–2018 Denali trim, 2007 Classic, ZR2, Trail Boss, AT4, MagneRide-equipped models, or some 2019–2024 new-body 4WD variants.
• Only for vehicles with factory steel front lower control arms; not for aluminum-arm setups.

How much lift does the kit actually provide and what should I expect?

The kit is advertised as a 1.5" leveling lift for the front, but the physical spacer thickness differs from the nominal lift number. It effectively levels the front to the rear and increases clearance while maintaining OEM ride feel when installed correctly.

• Nominal lift: 1.5" front lift height.
• Spacer thickness: approximately 0.87" measured material thickness; lift ratio between thickness and ride-height is not 1:1.
• Recommended tire size: up to 285/75 R17 on stock backspacing without rubbing in most applications.

What materials and build quality does MAXRACING use?

MAXRACING manufactures these spacers from billet aluminum using CNC machining, then applies an anodized black finish for corrosion resistance and a factory-matching appearance. The design focuses on durability and a clean, OE-like installation look.

• CNC-machined billet aluminum construction for strength and precision.
• Anodized black finish to resist corrosion and blend with factory components.
• Lightweight—each spacer weighs roughly 2.5 lbs—designed to preserve ride dynamics.

How difficult is installation and what tools or time are required?

Installation is a straightforward bolt-on process that does not require disassembling the strut assembly. An average installation time is about 1.5 to 2 hours per vehicle when using standard hand tools and a safe lifting setup.

• Installation time: approximately 1.5–2 hours per axle with basic tools.
• No need to disassemble the strut; installs over the existing top mount hardware.
• Works with OEM control arms and maintains factory ride characteristics when fitted correctly.

Who this is for: This MAXRACING 1.5" leveling kit is ideal for owners of compatible GM 1500 trucks and SUVs who want a clean, factory-looking lift to level the front with the rear, fit larger tires, and gain a modest increase in ground clearance. It’s best for vehicles equipped with steel lower control arms and for drivers seeking a simple, reversible modification without altering suspension geometry dramatically. Double-check your model year and trim exclusions before purchase to ensure a proper fit.
