Raise your 1988-1991 Chevrolet/GMC C1500 standard-cab pickups with 2WD with this Spindle-Source 5-inch front / 2-inch rear lift kit. The front uses 4-inch lift spindles and 1-inch composite front coil spacers, while the rear uses 2-inch lift blocks and the included Grade 8 U-bolt set. This base version lets you select shocks separately.
IMPORTANT: Requires approximately 1-inch-thick front brake rotors (light-duty brakes). Standard cab alone does not confirm fitment. Does NOT fit 1.25-inch brakes or factory 454 SS models. Measure before ordering.

Fitment notes
- For Chevrolet/GMC C1500 pickups with 2WD coil-spring front suspension. Does not fit 4WD or C2500 models. Requires the light-duty front brake system with approximately 1-inch-thick rotors, commonly found on 1988-1991 standard-cab trucks.
- Cab style alone does not confirm fitment. Measure front rotor thickness before ordering. Does not fit the 1.25-inch heavy-duty front brake system or factory 454 SS models.
- Lift-spindle versions require 15-inch or larger wheels and a maximum 4.5-inch backspacing. Some 15-inch wheels may require minor spindle grinding or a wheel spacer for clearance. Lift spindles increase front track width approximately 1 inch per side.
- Professional installation and a wheel alignment are required. Check steering, suspension, brake-hose and ABS-wire clearance through the full range of motion before use.
- Factory alignment knockouts must be removed to allow fine adjustment during alignment. Lift amounts are approximate and vary with the vehicle, spring condition, equipment and load. Grade 8 U-bolts, nuts and washers are included.
- Check the spring/plate stack, available threads and installed clearance before tightening. U-bolts may need to be shortened for the application. Shocks are not included in the base kit.
- Check shock travel and select shocks appropriate for the front suspension and rear lift.
