MAXRACING 3.5in Front + 3in Rear Leveling Lift Kit

In this review of the MAXRACING leveling lift kit the bottom line is simple: it is for owners of 2007-2020 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, 2007-2013 Avalanche 1500, and 2007-2020 GMC Yukon 1500 who want a modest, bolt-on ride height increase without changing OEM ride quality. The kit raises the front about 3.5 in and the rear about 3 in to improve ground clearance and allow larger rims and tires, and it delivers that result with CNC machined components that are corrosion resistant. For those running MagneRide, Auto-Ride, Air-Ride or self-leveling systems this kit is not compatible.

Key Features

• Vehicle Compatibility: Fits 2007-2020 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, 2007-2013 Avalanche 1500, and 2007-2020 GMC Yukon 1500 2WD/4WD, letting owners of these trucks install a dedicated leveling solution.
• Lift Height: Raises the front approximately 3.5 in and the rear approximately 3 in, providing increased ground clearance for larger tires and improved stance.
• Material and Finish: Front spacers are CNC machined from billet aluminum and powdercoated black for strength and corrosion resistance, helping maintain appearance over time.
• Rear Spacer Design: Rear lift spacers use precision CNC manufacturing for a close fit to factory components, preserving alignment and ride balance.
• Ride Quality Preservation: The kit is designed to maintain original OEM ride and steering feel so daily driving comfort stays largely unchanged after installation.
• Simple Installation: Bolt-on install typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours and does not require special tools, with a front end alignment recommended afterward.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at Chevy and GMC full-size truck owners who want a clean, factory-friendly leveling lift to fit larger custom rims and tires while keeping near-stock ride quality. It is a practical choice for drivers who value durability and a precision fit-especially those who prefer CNC-machined metal spacers over cheaper stamped parts.

It is not appropriate for vehicles equipped with MagneRide, Auto-Ride, Air-Ride, or other self-leveling suspension systems, and buyers seeking major suspension travel gains or an off-road suspension overhaul should look at full lift kits or complete suspension replacements instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong, CNC-machined front spacers with powdercoat give reliable corrosion resistance and a premium feel.
• Raises front 3.5 in and rear 3 in to allow larger tires and improved ground clearance without changing ride comfort much.
• Simple bolt-on install that can be completed in roughly 1.5 to 2 hours and does not require specialized tools.
• Precision rear spacers provide a close fit and help maintain steering and balance.

Cons

• Hardware quality reports are mixed in customer feedback; some users noted stripped bolts or weaker nuts which may require replacement hardware.
• Spacer thickness is not a 1:1 match with lift height, which may confuse buyers expecting exact thickness-to-lift ratios.
