1.5 Inch Leveling Kit

The 1.5 Inch Leveling Kit from Rough Country (SKU RCS1301) is a front suspension leveling system engineered specifically for GM full-size trucks from the 2022–2023 model years. This kit addresses the factory rake geometry common to modern pickup trucks, where the rear sits higher than the front, affecting both aesthetics and drivability. Leveling kits are essential for owners seeking a balanced stance, improved ground clearance at the front axle, and compatibility with larger tire packages without the complexity and cost of a full lift system.

This leveling kit employs strut spacers—also called preload spacers—which mount directly into the front suspension assembly to raise the upper control arm attachment point. Unlike coil spacers that add height but can degrade ride quality, preload spacers compress the strut's internal spring, effectively lifting the front end while maintaining factory damping characteristics and suspension geometry. The kit includes all necessary hardware for installation and weighs just 2.2 lbs, making it a lightweight, bolt-on solution that doesn't require cutting, welding, or suspension disassembly. At 1.5 inches of front lift, the kit provides enough correction to level the truck's profile without inducing excessive angle changes to critical suspension angles.

Truck enthusiasts and mechanics who demand OEM-quality fitment and ride retention choose this leveling kit for its direct compatibility with 2022–2023 GM full-size trucks—including Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra platforms. Installation typically requires basic hand tools and takes 1–2 hours per side, making it ideal for DIY work or professional shop installation. Owners pairing this leveling kit with 33-inch all-terrain tires gain the aggressive stance and functional ground clearance necessary for light off-road work while maintaining highway manners and factory suspension compliance.
