Built to give your GMC Sierra a raised, powerful-looking, hard-driving stance, 3-4” lift kits also perform the practical function of making room for you to attach 32” or 33” wheels to your truck for more off-road moxie. Lifting the belly of your truck also improves its ability to skim over obstacles rather than scraping over them, and gives the suspension a bigger range of travel for more agility and articulation off-road. AmericanTrucks sells finely made suspension kits that use precision manufacturing to ensure a great fit and proper alignment of the modified suspension system. Durability and longevity are both addressed with top quality materials like billet aluminum, chromed piston rods in the extended shock absorbers, and stainless steel or powder-coated steel parts to resist rusting.

Benefits of a GMC Sierra 3 Inch to 5 Inch Lift Kit
When you lift your truck there are a handful of benefits you'll notice, and they go well beyond making your truck look awesome. One of the most notable benefits is that you'll have more room for bigger wheels and tires. For example, with a 3-inch lift kit for your GMC Sierra 1500 4WD, you can start to fit 33-inch tires. Going up to 4 or 5 inches, you can start to make use of 20 to 22-inch wheels with 33 to 35-inch tires. Aside from having access to more wheel and tire options, other benefits include being able to see over other vehicles on the road and better comfort. You'll be able to see the road better because your truck will sit higher than most, which can prevent an accident. As for comfort, the further away from the ground you are the less impact you'll feel when driving over bumps or uneven terrain. The last benefit to note is that the extra inches will make off-reading much safer thanks to more ground clearance. Lift kits also make it easier to find traction on uneven surfaces.
Things to Consider When Shopping for 3 Inch to 5 Inch GMC Sierra Lift Kits
When shopping for a 5-inch lift kit, or even a more modest 3-inch lift kit for your GMC Sierra 1500, you need to consider how it will impact your build. For example, when you start going above the 3-inch lift kits for your truck you can start to experience drawbacks like poor fuel economy and an increased risk of tipping. When installing a 3 to 5-inch lift kit it's also a good idea to get some bigger wheels and tires to keep your truck’s appearance intact. You may also want to start taking most turns a little bit slower to avoid tipping, especially if you're only using a block suspension and going over 4 inches. Whether you want to go all the way and raise your truck 5 inches, or you’re just looking for a modest and affordable 3-inch lift kit for your GMC Sierra 1500, you’re in good hands. Our sales techs will make sure you find the right kit for your build, and they can offer advice on wheels, tires, and other compatible parts.
