The Rough Country 5 Inch Lift Kit in brief
Rough Country sells this 5 in lift in three part numbers: 291 for the 2014-2018 Silverado and Sierra 1500 4WD, and 10230A and 11030 for the Silverado and Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD, 2020-2026, in 2WD and 4WD. Each kit includes shocks, and the maker recommends a professional alignment after installation. The maker lists rear parts for all three but does not state a rear lift height. The 1500 kit, 291, is the only one with a published tire figure: the largest tire the maker lists is 33 in, and it works with OEM 20 in wheels. The heavy-duty pair differ in their front hardware. Part number 10230A uses non-torsion bar drop brackets and the maker calls it 'Retains Stock Track Width'. Part number 11030 uses torsion bar drop brackets. The maker's install estimate is 8-10 hours for every kit.

Which part number is yours
For a 1500, 291 is the only match and it is 4WD only. The maker says it does not fit Denali models or eAssist, requires cutting and drilling, and needs the mass damper on the front differential removed. Base SKU 29130 and N3 strut version 29133 are listed alternates. For a 2020-2026 2500HD or 3500HD, the choice is between 10230A (alternates M1 10240, V2 10270) and 11030 (M1 11040, V2 11070). The maker separates them by torsion drop and non-torsion drop hardware; the maker does not say which truck configuration takes which, so match against the maker's listing for your truck. Both heavy-duty kits do not work with factory wheels, and do not fit a dually, AT4X or ZR2. Gas models may require exhaust modification for driveshaft clearance. Check the part number, the drivetrain and the wheel plan before you order.
