These trucks are available in a multitude of trim packages, powertrains, and suspension configurations. ReadyLIFT has worked diligently to develop lift kits with specific fitment on all GM1500 applications ranging from 2\u201d to 8\u201d depending on the customer\u2019s lift needs. To date, we have over 15 SKUs fitting various 2019-UP GM1500 applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, GM has introduced a new rear suspension component often referred to as a rear composite leaf spring across many more GM1500 trim applications. <strong>This composite leaf spring design is NOT CURRENTLY COMPATIBLE with ReadyLIFT lift kits<\/strong> due to the unique \u2018round\u2019 factory U-bolt design. ReadyLIFT GM1500 lift kits include \u2018square\u2019 U-bolts that mate as intended with the traditional GM1500 rear suspension leaf pack. The kit\u2019s square U-bolts are not interchangeable with the round U-bolt vehicle setup.

This note can be found on all ReadyLIFT 2019-UP GM1500 truck lift kits with some form of rear lift via block &amp; U-bolt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NOTE: This GM1500 kit is NOT COMPATIBLE with vehicles equipped with rear composite mono-leaf springs. The mono-leaf is easily identifiable \u2013 the U-bolt is round\/circular around the top of the leaf spring.
