Maxracing 1.5 in Rear Leveling Kit for Dodge Ram Tahoe Yukon

In this review the Maxracing 1.5 in Rear Leveling Kit is evaluated for truck owners who want a straightforward, durable way to lift and level the rear of compatible full-size pickups and SUVs. The single biggest reason to buy is the reliable, machined billet aluminum spacer that provides a true 1.5 in rear lift while preserving original ride and steering feel. The kit is best for owners who want to fit larger wheels and tires or correct rake without complex suspension changes, and the install can be completed with basic tools in roughly 1.5 to 2 hours.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed to fit a range of models including 2009-2026 Dodge Ram 1500, 2000-2020 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban 1500, 2002-2013 Avalanche 1500, and 2000-2020 GMC Yukon 1500 in 2WD and 4WD, making it useful for many full-size trucks and SUVs.
• True 1.5 in Lift: Raises the rear of the vehicle by a true 1.5 in to improve stance and allow more tire clearance while noting that spacer thickness is slightly less than the nominal lift amount.
• Billet Aluminum Construction: CNC machined billet aluminum spacers deliver strong, corrosion-resistant performance and a precise fit that helps maintain stability and durability over time.
• OEM Ride Retention: The kit is engineered to preserve original ride quality, steering response, and driving comfort while providing increased ground clearance for larger custom rims and tires.
• Simple Installation: Bolt-on design allows installation in about 1.5 to 2 hours with common tools, and a front end alignment back to factory spec is recommended after install.

Who It's For

Truck and SUV owners who want a modest rear lift to level the vehicle, clear larger tires, or achieve a more balanced appearance will appreciate this kit. It is particularly well suited for owners of compatible Dodge Ram, Chevrolet, and GMC models listed, including Trail Boss style builds where appearance and function matter.

It is not for vehicles equipped with automatic load-leveling suspension, and owners expecting suspension travel changes beyond a 1.5 in rear raise should look at full lift kits or different suspension components. Those who need heavy-duty towing or significant suspension tuning may want a more comprehensive solution.
