The Rough Country 7 Inch Lift Kit in brief

Rough Country's 7 in lift line has four part numbers, and all four give 7 in of front lift with shocks included. Part numbers 228-9 and 171 are for the 2014-2018 Silverado and Sierra 1500, 228-9 for 4WD and 171 for 2WD. Part numbers 10130A and 11730 are for the Silverado and Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD, 2020-2026, in 2WD and 4WD. The maker recommends a professional alignment after installation and lists rear parts without stating a rear lift height. The 1500 kits carry the only tire figure the maker gives: the largest tire the maker lists is 35 in. Larger tires will require Rough Country's Speedometer Calibrator SKU 90009 on 228-9. The maker's install estimate is 8-10 hours for every kit, and the 1500 kits require cutting and drilling.

Which part number is yours

On a 2014-2018 1500, drivetrain decides the number: 228-9 for 4WD, 171 for 2WD. Both require 18 in or larger wheels, and the maker says neither fits Denali models or eAssist. The maker also lists alternate numbers 22832 (cast steel) and 17431 (aluminum or stamped steel) for 228-9, and 23732 (cast steel) and 18731 (aluminum or stamped steel) for 171. On a 2020-2026 2500HD or 3500HD, the choice is 10130A (alternates M1 10140, V2 10170) with non-torsion bar drop brackets, or 11730 (M1 11740, V2 11770) with torsion bar drop brackets. The maker's summary does not say which truck takes which, so match your truck on the maker's listing. The maker says 10130A does not work with factory wheels; its conditions for 11730 do not mention wheels, so confirm. Neither fits a dually, AT4X or ZR2, and gas models may need exhaust modification.
