Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Lift Kit Cost: Every Tier, Installed

Our general guide how much does it cost to lift a truck prices the tiers for any truck. This page does the narrower, more useful thing: it prices this truck, using the actual Silverado 1500 kits in our verified dataset — the leveling kits, which on this platform are organised by trim, plus the one full lift the dataset holds for a standard truck — plus the labour and alignment ranges from the same cost research. No figure on this page is new: kit prices are the manufacturer-page prices in each kit’s record (re-checked 2026-11-14), and every labour and alignment figure comes from the tier table in the cost pillar. Where no kit has a verified price — the entire 6-inch tier, on this platform — the page says so instead of estimating one.

The four lines are always the same: kit + labour + alignment + tires. Alignment is $75–$200 on every row. Labour bands: $150–$400 for leveling work, $300–$1,800 for full-lift installs generally, and $1,000–$1,800 specifically for 6-inch professional installs.

The all-in table, kit by kit

Kit (record in our dataset)	Kit price	Labour band	Alignment	Installed total, before tires
Rough Country 1323 2″ level	From $39.95	$150–$400	$75–$200	$265–$640 at the spacer-only base configuration
ReadyLIFT 66-39150 1.5″ level	$149.95	$150–$400	$75–$200	$375–$750
ReadyLIFT 66-3921 1.75″ level (Trail Boss / AT4)	$529.95	$150–$400	$75–$200	$755–$1,130
ReadyLIFT 66-32150 1.5″ level (ZR2 / AT4X)	$559.95	$150–$400	$75–$200	$785–$1,160
ReadyLIFT 69-39400 4.0″ SST lift	$949.95	$300–$1,800	$75–$200	$1,325–$2,950

Read the “from” row carefully: the Rough Country total is only as low as its cheapest configuration, and the 1323 climbs with the optional N3 struts — a configuration whose price we have not verified, so this page does not estimate it. The bands above also land where the independent anchors in our cost research say they should: 3–4 inch suspension lifts total about $1,200–$3,000 installed, which is exactly where the SST row sits, and 6-inch-plus builds run about $2,500–$5,000+ — a tier this table cannot price kit by kit, for the reason given below. The table is those anchors with Silverado part numbers attached.

One truck, priced three ways

Take a mainstream 2023 Silverado 1500 4WD and run it through the table at three ambitions. The stance truck: a ReadyLIFT 66-39150 level, professionally installed and aligned, keeping the factory tires — $375–$750 out the door, and the job is done in a day. (The Rough Country spacer-only configuration is cheaper still at $265–$640, but its exclusion list below is the longest on the platform, which is why the ReadyLIFT is the mainstream pick here.) The 35-inch truck: the same truck on a ReadyLIFT 69-39400 SST — $1,325–$2,950 installed — plus a set of 35s at $1,500–$3,000+, for a project total of roughly $2,825–$5,950. On a standard truck this is the only manufacturer-stated route to a 35: no leveling kit in the dataset states one. Trail Boss owners get a shortcut — the factory 2-inch lift plus the 66-3921 ($755–$1,130 installed) states a 295/65R20 maximum, a 35-inch-class tire, on the right wheel. The 37-inch truck: this one cannot be priced kit by kit, because our dataset holds no 6-inch Silverado 1500 kit with a verified manufacturer price. What can be said honestly is the anchor: 6-inch-plus builds run about $2,500–$5,000+ installed before tires, plus 37s in the same $1,500–$3,000+ tire band. Any page that gives you an exact 6-inch Silverado total has invented the kit line; this one won’t.

The trim traps that move the price

On this platform the trim picks the kit, and picking wrong is the most expensive mistake available — you pay for the kit, the install, and then the correct kit. The verified traps, from the kit records:

• The budget level excludes almost everything interesting. Rough Country’s 1323 does not fit Denali or Denali Ultimate models with Adaptive Ride Control, any AT4 / AT4X / Trail Boss / ZR2 (all factory-lifted), Super Cruise models, or LD models — and its optional N3 struts do not fit diesels. It is a standard-truck kit, priced like one.
• The SST’s 35-inch statement is scoped. ReadyLIFT’s 295/65R20 maximum (on a 20×9 wheel at 0 offset) is stated for 2019–2022 Chevrolet trucks; GMC trucks and 2023+ Chevrolets max at 295/55R20 on fender-flare clearance. The kit excludes Trail Boss, ZR2, AT4/AT4X, Super Cruise and the 2019 Limited old-body truck, the single-cab configuration is unvalidated, and trucks with composite mono-leaf rear springs (round U-bolts) need an additional U-bolt kit — a real extra parts line to budget for. In its favour: it is built to work with or without Adaptive Ride Control.
• The DSSV trucks have no stated 35 route. The ZR2 / AT4X level (66-32150) caps at a 33×11.50, or a 295/60-20 with trimming. If a seller promises 35s on a ZR2 with a level, the promise is theirs, not the manufacturer’s.

The full workings behind the tire claims are in how much lift to fit 35s on a Silverado 1500.

The fifth line: tires (and sometimes wheels)

Nobody lifts a Silverado to keep the stock tires, so add $1,500–$3,000+ for a set of 33–37 inch tires where the lift’s purpose is a bigger tire. That is the range our cost research verified, and it swamps the difference between most kits on the table — an SST installed with 35s ($1,325–$2,950 + tires) costs more out the door than any level on this page installed twice over.

On wheels, we will be specific about the constraint and silent about the price, because our sources verify one and not the other: every stated max tire above is tied to a specific wheel — a 20×9 at 0 offset in most cases — and the SST’s 35-inch statement in particular does not transfer to a truck on stock 18s. If your truck needs a wheel set to reach the fitment the manufacturer states, that is a real line in this budget; get the wheel quote from your installer alongside the kit quote. Our cost sources do not publish a verified wheel-set price range, so we do not invent one.

DIY, honestly priced

The DIY saving is real at exactly one tier. A level is bolt-on work; doing it yourself removes the $150–$400 labour line and leaves the $75–$200 alignment, which is not DIY-able to spec. The 4-inch SST is a different job — replacement upper control arms, rear lift blocks and geometry changes across both axles — and our standing advice, repeated from the cost pillar, is that professional installation is the default there. If a shop’s quote for an SST install comes in far under the $300–$1,800 full-lift band, find out which line they have left out before you celebrate.

Which tier fits which budget

• Under $1,000 all-in: a level, professionally installed, on your existing tires — $265–$750 on a standard truck depending on configuration, done in a day.
• $755–$1,160: the trim-specific levels for the factory-lifted trucks — Trail Boss / AT4 and ZR2 / AT4X — where the replacement upper control arms are most of the parts bill.
• $1,200–$3,000: the SST tier, which is also where the honest 35-inch builds on a standard truck live (see how much lift to fit 35s on a Silverado 1500).
• $2,500–$5,000+: 6-inch-plus full builds, priced here by the research anchor only — no verified kit row exists yet in our dataset — and $4,000–$8,000+ for premium coilover builds, reached the honest way, with the tire line added.
