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

The kit is advertised as a 2.5" front lift that levels the truck with the rear. Note that the physical spacer thickness differs from the advertised lift; the spacer measures approximately 1.2" while delivering the 2.5" front rise due to the suspension geometry.

• Nominal front lift: 2.5 inches
• Actual spacer thickness: roughly 1.2 inches
• Designed to maintain factory suspension geometry and ride quality
• Recommended tire size: 285/75 R17 for proper fitment

What is involved in installation and how long does it take?

Installation is designed to be quick and user-friendly for a bolt-on accessory; you don’t need to disassemble the struts. Most DIY installers with basic tools should complete the job in a couple of hours.

• Estimated install time: 1.5 to 2 hours
• No strut disassembly required—simple bolt-in spacers
• Works with OEM control arms and maintains stock backspacing
• Weight per spacer: approximately 2.5 lbs

Will this kit affect ride quality or require other upgrades?

The MAXRACING spacers are intended to preserve factory ride characteristics by keeping original suspension components and shock locations intact. In most cases you can keep your stock shocks and alignment settings, but alignment and inspection after installation are recommended.

• Maintains factory ride feel in typical use
• No mandatory shock or spring changes for mild lift
• Wheel alignment advisable after installation
• Helps increase ground clearance and tire fitment options

Who is this for: The MAXRACING 2.5" front leveling kit suits Chevy 1500 owners who want a clean, leveled look, modest clearance increase, and the ability to run larger tires without altering factory suspension geometry. It’s best for drivers with trucks that have steel front lower control arms who want a fast, bolt-on solution installed in a garage or by a professional in a short timeframe.
