Raise your 1988-1991 Chevrolet/GMC C1500 standard-cab pickups with 2WD with this Spindle-Source 6.5-inch front / 4-inch rear lift kit. The front uses 4-inch lift spindles and 2.5-inch front coil spacers, while the rear uses 4-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. Aftermarket upper control arms are recommended with 2-3-inch front coil-spacer lifts. Upper control arms are not included.
- 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.
- Check rear shock travel, brake-hose clearance and driveline angles after lifting. Additional correction parts may be needed for the vehicle configuration; they are not included unless listed.
