MAXRACING 2" Front Leveling Kit for 2007–2026 Chevy/GMC 1500 — Bolt‑On, Fits Steel Lower Control Arms

MAXRACING's 2" front-end leveling kit raises the front of compatible 1500-series Chevy/GMC trucks by a true 2 inches for a balanced stance and added clearance without strut disassembly.

This affordable bolt-on spacer set is engineered for 2007–2026 Silverado and Sierra 1500 platforms and many Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon and Yukon XL 1500 variants. Designed to eliminate factory rake, the kit improves front-to-rear proportion and permits larger tires up to a 32" outside diameter when paired with the recommended 285/75 R17 sizing. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic tools and suspension knowledge; most installs take 2–4 hours.

Which vehicles will this MAXRACING leveling kit fit?

The kit fits many 2007–2026 1500-series Chevy and GMC vehicles equipped with factory steel front lower control arms. Not all trims and model years are compatible—special editions and certain suspension packages are excluded.

• Compatible: 2007–2013 Avalanche 1500 (2WD/4WD), 2007–2026 Silverado 1500, 2007–2020 Suburban 1500, 2007–2021 Tahoe (2WD & 2007–2020 4WD), 2007–2026 Sierra 1500, 2007–2020 Yukon, 2007–2021 Yukon XL 1500.
• Not compatible: 2014–2018 Denali, 2007 Classic, TrailBoss, AT4, ZR2, MagneRide-equipped models, and 2019–2020 new body style 4WD models.
• Important: only works with factory steel front lower control arms—does not fit vehicles with non-steel control arms.

How does installation work and how long will it take?

Installation is intended to be a no-strut-disassembly, bolt-on job for technicians or DIYers comfortable with suspension work. Basic hand tools, a jack and jack stands are required, and the kit includes all mounting hardware and instructions. Expect 2–4 hours for a complete front install when following the provided steps.

• Parts supplied: two front lower strut mount spacers, four bolts, eight washers, four nuts, and instructions.
• No need to press out strut components; bolts replace top hardware for a simplified install.
• Allow wheel alignment after installation to maintain tire wear and handling.

What ride and tire changes should I expect after installing this kit?

The MAXRACING spacer restores a level stance by raising the front approximately 2 inches, improving ground clearance and visual balance. Suspension geometry means the spacer thickness is less than the final lift height, so the kit’s effective rise measures 2 inches once installed. It supports up to a 32" overall tire diameter when matched with the recommended 285/75 R17 tire size, but confirm wheel backspacing and clearance for your specific wheel/tire combo.

• Recommended tire: 285/75 R17; maximum tire diameter: 32".
• Backspacing: retain factory wheel backspacing to avoid rubbing.
• Expect a modest increase in front ground clearance and a flatter visual stance.

Are there durability or part-specific details I should know?

MAXRACING manufactures this kit to be lightweight and corrosion-resistant while using hardware sized for OEM-style mounting points. The kit weighs around 1.2 lbs per spacer and supersedes earlier part numbers 1307A and 1308. Because it bolts in at the lower strut mount, it minimizes complexity while providing a reliable, repeatable lift.

• Item weight: ~1.2 lbs per spacer; superseded part numbers: 1307A, 1308.
• Designed for factory mounting points and standard hardware torque specifications—follow instructions for torque values.
• After installation, have a professional alignment performed to optimize handling and tire life.

Who is this for: This MAXRACING 2" front-end leveling kit is aimed at owners of compatible Chevy and GMC 1500-series trucks who want a simple, cost-effective way to correct factory rake, fit slightly larger tires, and gain extra clearance without complex suspension upgrades. It’s ideal for DIY mechanics and shops seeking a reliable bolt-on solution—just verify model fitment, control arm material, and wheel/tire clearance before purchase.
