Engineered for serious truck owners, this 3" lift system replaces your factory torsion bar setup with premium FOX 2.5 Performance Elite coilovers, delivering superior damping control and ride quality. Purpose-built for GM 2500HD and 3500HD models, the conversion optimizes suspension geometry for both highway comfort and aggressive off-road performance. The independent coilover design provides better articulation, load-carrying capacity, and tuning flexibility compared to stock components.

    Compatible with diesel models ONLY. Works with standard or AT4 diesel models. The use of the coilovers on GAS engine models is not recommended due to providing too much lift. Available preload adjustment is typically not enough to achieve desired ride height.
