IMPORTANT NOTE:
- This Package is designed to level the front of LML trucks a maximum of 2 inches! Any adjustment beyond 2 inches over stock height will most likely result in complete front shock failure!
- Some trucks come pre-adjusted over stock height from factory IE: AT4, Z71, High country. The same measurements of increased ride height will not apply.
- Access to grease fittings on your upper control arms can often be a pain. We have eliminated this problem by changing the locations on our newest version of the upper control arms from Kryptonite. The hardware kits with your arms include multiple grease fittings as well as grease port plugs. This allows you to have great service ability no matter how your upper control arms sit.

KRYPTONITE STEERINGMany would argue that Kryptonite got its foot in the door with their massive steering tie rods for Chevy 2500HD and 3500s, or maybe it was their upper control arms for this application.

From these initial proving grounds, Kryptonite has vastly expanded their portfolio in providing steering linkages for Ram and Fords, Lifetime Warranty Wheel Bearings, ball joints, centerlinks, pitman and idler arms, and even complete suspension systems!

Do it yourself leveling kit - this is the one
"Being a new to diesel ownership, I've been wanting to add quality products without spending a ton of money for someone else to do the work. I found this kit and while a basic understanding is needed, this was detailed in all the steps. I was able to get it all completed within a day. I'm sure more experienced people could do it in half a day but I took my time to ensure I was doing it right. I love Kyptonite products so far and plan to purchase much more!"
Excellent
"All the parts are superior to my stock parts. Very satisfied. You get what you pay for. Thanks"
Kryptonite kit
"Installed on 2016 Silverado 2500. Kit fit perfectly. I am not a pro mechanic but I'm not dumb. Installed easily in couple hours. Bought torsion tool and right tools make it easy for sure and safe. Truck had ready lift keys on from previous owner but control arms were bottomed out and ranchos were worthless. This kit did what it was supposed to truck stayed same height basically but control arms are now not touching bumps and fox's make it ride better. I also bought the cam bolt kit just in case and used them so it was worth it. A worthy investment. Will continue to upgrade the front end with kryptonite."
Great Product! Quality material and packaging.
"As an amateur mechanic, it was fairly easy except. . . Instruction tools required need more tools listed and further step-by-step instructions for first-timers would be helpful. Youtube helped me through it."
Great kit
"This Kryptonite leveling kit is top-notch. Went together nicely, and the fitment was perfect. Highly recommend !"
Kryptonite Arms w/ fox shock package
"Haven't installed yet but opened the box and they look sweet. Good packaging and more importantly quality parts. Waiting on my airlift bags and new tires to install this leveling kit all at once. dont want to have to relevel it cuz i added something later."
Q&A
- I have a stock 2019 GMC Sierra 3500HD SRW. It’s due for shocks and tires. I’m curious if I went with this leveling kit if I could go up to 285/75R18 without rubbing. I don’t want a lifted look, but I do want it leveled with a proportionately symmetrical tire. Stock tire size is 265/70R18
- Absolutely, with this leveling kit, that size of tire would fit without trimming.
- Is there any way this kit could fit 35in tires? I see in the description it says it will fit up to 33in, but Is there a possibility it could fit 35in?
- It can fit 35" tires if you delete your front bumper and take a grinder to whatever your wheel hits at full lock.
- Will this be fine when pulling a fifth 40ft wheel camper?
- The Fox systems typically ride a little rougher on these platforms but with the truck being loaded down you should be happy with the overall ride quality. -Mark
- I’m trying to fit 20x10 -18 offset with 305/55 tires on my 2018 duramax will my tires be able to fit with this leveling kit?
- I believe that would be right at the limit. It should clear just fine, but some certain situations you might rub and have to trim the bumper valence. Such as, pulling into a parking lot. -Sands
- Was wondering if your kits work on the gas motor trucks too. I would think the suspension is the same but just making sure. Thanks
- On the GM trucks yes they would work just fine. -Sands
