Rancho Performance Suspension and Shocks is selling a new suspension lift kit for the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups, providing 4.5-inch lift to enhance ride quality and appearance.
Different versions of the kit are engineered to accommodate the different upper control arm materials being used by Chevrolet and GMC. They also maintain the factory’s rack-and-pinion location, which allows for OE-quality steering characteristics and minimized bump steer.
The kits are available in two configurations that match OE upper control arm materials, including Rancho engineered and fabricated steel upper control arms (Part No. RS66308B) or aluminum/stamped steel upper control arms (Part No. RS66309B). Each kit comes with Rancho’s fully welded subframe, ductile iron steering knuckles, a pair of CV spacers, brake line brackets, sway bar relocation brackets, rear tapered block, u-bolts, and other required hardware. An installation guide is also included, with full-color step-by-step instructions.
If you’re interested, Rancho has a 90-day risk-free ride offer that lets enthusiasts try the following shocks, which are compatible with the aforementioned kits: RS9000XL, RS7000MT or Rancho RS5000X shocks. Shoppers can return their shocks within 90 days for a full refund of the product’s purchase price.

I have Rancho RS5000Xshocks in my LTZ, which I believe are one model above the Ranchos used in the Z71 package. very happy with the performance for price, much better on rough terrain (construction sites, fields, old logging roads) and handle payloads better.
I also have a Rough Country lift and level kit, which I think brings the front up 2.25″ and the rear 1″. I like that it looks stock until you’re beside another truck that actually is stock ride height. It isn’t a bro lift, and doesn’t make it a climb to get in and the bed it still low enough that you can load it with ease.
It also doesn’t mess with CV and driveshaft angle too bad. I had an alignment done, just because 2.25 in the front will change the camber slightly, but I doubt I really needed to.
I’d recommend a lift and level kit to anyone. Was easy to install with basic tools (ratchet, wrench, rubber mallet), jack and stands. 2 hours total in my driveway.
My All Terrain came with Rancho’s, but I upgraded to the rear 9000s and set them on 5, much better than those skinny stock ones…. Better ride by far, and handling much improved… Also added a leveling kit in the front to level her out…
