MAXRACING 2.5" Leveling Lift Kit for 2007–2026 Chevy/GMC 1500 Trucks — Anodized Black CNC Billet Spacer, DIY Install

This billet-aluminum MAXRACING leveling kit is engineered to give 2007–2026 Chevy Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe and GMC Sierra/Yukon XL 1500 models a corrected front ride height and improved clearance without altering the strut assembly. Finished in anodized black, the spacer is CNC-machined to match factory suspension geometry and bolts in place for a straightforward install that keeps the original control arms and ride quality intact.

Will this fit my truck and which models are excluded?

It fits many 1500-series Chevy and GMC trucks from model years 2007 through 2026 that have factory steel front lower control arms. However, several variants are excluded due to different suspension designs.

• Not compatible with 2014–2018 Denali models or 2007 Classic trucks.
• Not for ZR2, TrailBoss, AT4, MagneRide, or 2019–2024 new-body-style 4WD models.
• Only works with vehicles equipped with factory steel lower control arms.

How much lift will I actually get and what does the kit measure?

The kit is marketed as a 2.5" leveling lift for the front end, but the physical spacer thickness differs from the nominal ride-height increase. Expect a discrepancy between the spacer thickness and the measured lift at the wheel.

• Advertised front lift: 2.5 inches.
• Actual spacer thickness: approximately 1.2 inches.
• Effective lift depends on vehicle load and suspension geometry—measure after installation for exact clearance.

How difficult is installation and will it change ride quality?

Installation is designed to be simple and fast for a DIYer or professional: no strut disassembly is required. The MAXRACING spacer preserves factory ride characteristics while adding clearance and a level appearance.

• Estimated installation time: 1.5 to 2 hours.
• No need to remove or disassemble struts—bolts into place.
• Works with OEM control arms and maintains factory handling feel.

What tires and specifications should I consider after installing this kit?

The kit supports larger tire packages commonly fitted on half-ton trucks, but check backspacing and wheel fitment before upgrading. MAXRACING provides recommended tire sizes and weight specs to help choose the right setup.

• Recommended tire size: up to 285/75 R17.
• Backspacing: factory standard—verify wheel offsets for your wheels.
• Kit weight: about 2.5 lbs; supersedes part numbers 1307A and 1308.

Who this is for: The MAXRACING 2.5" Leveling Lift Kit is aimed at owners of compatible 1500-series Chevy and GMC trucks who want a leveler to match rear ride height, gain modest underbody clearance, and create room for larger tires without changing strut components. It’s ideal for drivers seeking a clean, factory-friendly installation using a durable anodized billet-aluminum spacer, provided their vehicle matches the listed fitment requirements and uses factory steel lower control arms.
