MAXRACING 2.5" Front Leveling Lift Kit for 2007–2026 Chevy/GMC 1500 (Anodized Billet Aluminium, Bolt-On)

MAXRACING's 2.5" leveling lift kit raises the front of compatible 2007–2026 Chevy 1500 trucks and SUVs for a balanced stance and improved clearance without changing factory ride quality.

If you’re looking to eliminate the factory nose-down rake on your Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Avalanche or Sierra 1500, this MAXRACING front leveling kit offers a straightforward, durable solution. CNC-machined from billet aluminum and anodized black for corrosion resistance and OEM visual compatibility, the kit is engineered to work with factory steel lower control arms and most OEM components. It’s a bolt-on upgrade designed for owners who want a clean, leveled look, room for larger tires, and a modest increase in ground clearance while preserving street manners.

Which vehicles and configurations is this kit compatible with?

This kit fits a range of Chevy and GMC 1500-series trucks and SUVs from model years 2007–2026, but there are important exclusions to check before ordering. It does not fit 2014–2018 Denali models, 2007 Classic models, ZR2, TrailBoss, AT4, MagneRide-equipped vehicles, or certain 2019–2024 new-body 4WD variants. Confirm your vehicle’s model year and front lower control arm material—this kit only fits vehicles with factory steel lower control arms.

• Fits: many 2007–2026 Chevy Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Suburban 1500, Tahoe, Sierra 1500, Yukon XL1500 models
• Not compatible: 2014–2018 Denali, 2007 Classic, ZR2/TrailBoss/AT4, MagneRide, some 2019–2024 4WD
• Requirement: factory steel front lower control arms

How much lift does the kit actually provide and what does the measurement mean?

The MAXRACING kit is marketed as a 2.5" leveling kit because it raises the front ride height by approximately 2.5 inches. However, the physical thickness of the billet spacer is about 1.2 inches; the final lift depends on strut geometry and spring compressibility. Expect an approximate 2.5" change in front vehicle height, not a literal 2.5" spacer thickness.

• Advertised lift: 2.5" front ride height increase
• Spacer thickness: ~1.2" (CNC billet aluminum)
• Result depends on strut and spring interaction, not 1:1 thickness-to-lift

What does installation involve and will it affect ride quality?

Installation is a simple bolt-on process that typically takes about 1.5–2 hours per side for a competent DIYer with standard tools. The design avoids disassembling the strut assembly, so the job is quicker and less complex than many suspension modifications. Because the kit retains OEM control-arm geometry and mounts, it preserves factory ride comfort and handling characteristics when installed correctly.

• Estimated install time: 1.5–2 hours
• No need to disassemble struts—bolts into place
• Maintains factory ride quality and OEM alignment geometry

What practical benefits and limitations should I expect?

The MAXRACING leveling kit gives your truck a more aggressive, level appearance while allowing you to fit larger tires—recommended up to 285/75R17—without rubbing or trimming in many stock configurations. It adds modest ground clearance for obstacles and improves the truck’s front-to-rear balance. Keep in mind it’s not a full suspension lift, so extreme off-road articulation or vastly larger tire packages may still require additional modifications.

• Tire recommendation: up to 285/75R17
• Weight: approx. 2.5 lbs per kit component; supersedes parts 1307A/1308
• Maintains factory backspacing; visually matches black OEM components

Who is this for: The MAXRACING 2.5" leveling lift kit is aimed at owners of compatible Chevy and GMC 1500-series trucks who want a balanced, factory-friendly front lift for better looks, modest clearance gains, and room for larger tires without compromising daily drivability. It’s ideal for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers who need a durable, precision-machined spacer that bolts on quickly and blends with factory components.
