Fitment notes
- For Chevrolet/GMC C1500 pickups with 2WD coil-spring front suspension. Does not fit 4WD or C2500 models. Requires the heavy-duty front brake system with approximately 1.25-inch-thick rotors.
- Includes properly equipped 1988-1991 standard-cab trucks and factory 454 SS models. Cab style alone does not confirm fitment. Measure front rotor thickness before ordering. Does not fit the 1-inch light-duty front brake system.
- 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. 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.
