2003–2026 Chevy Express & GMC Savana 2500/3500 – 2.5″ Front / 2.5″ Rear Lift Kit (#404088)

The “Standard Spring” Total Lift | 5/8″ HD U-Bolts | 100% USA Steel

Because the Road Doesn’t Always Stay Paved.

Let’s have some “Real Talk”: Why would you lift a 2WD van? We didn’t fully get it either until we found ourselves 100 miles deep on a washboard POS logging road during a summer wildfire. Watching every rock and pothole get dangerously close to ripping the black and grey water tanks off our camper was enough to change our minds forever.

Whether you’re building a world-traveling “Van-Life” rig or you’re a tradesman tired of getting high-centered in a muddy job site swamp, the #404088 is the over-engineered fix. We lift the front and rear a full 2.5″, giving you the ground clearance you need to fit some real All-Terrain rubber and stop worrying about your undercarriage meeting a rock it doesn’t like.

🛑 IMPORTANT FITMENT CHECK: Grab a 22mm wrench.

• Standard Duty Only: This kit is designed for vans with front springs smaller than 22.5mm.

• The “Wrench Test”: Try to slip a 22mm open-end wrench over your front coil spring. If it slips on, this is your kit. If it doesn’t fit, you have the HD springs and need kit #404088-S.

• DOES NOT WORK ON DIESEL VEHICLES ~ Use either #404088-TS or #404088-TT

• Beefy Hardware: Includes massive 5/8″ U-bolts for the rear.

The Highlights:

• 2.5 Inches of All-Around Clearance: This isn’t just a leveling kit; it’s a full suspension boost. Get your front bumper out of the snowdrifts and your camper tanks out of the danger zone.

• Ditch the “Grocery Store” Tires: Stop being limited to the highway tires you bought at Costco while getting milk. This kit opens up the wheel wells so you can run aggressive All-Terrains a size or two bigger than stock.

• USA Steel Strength: We don’t mess around with plastic “pucks” or mystery alloys. This kit is laser-cut from USA Mill Certified Steel from the American rust belt. It’s built to outlast the van—which is saying something for a 6.0L/4L80 rig famous for 600,000-mile lifespans.

• Tradesman & Explorer Approved: Half our customers are “Van-Lifers” protecting their plumbing; the other half are contractors tired of scraping bumpers and getting stuck in the mud.

• Heavy Duty Rear Hardware: We include 5/8″ U-bolts because we know you tradesmen overload these vans, and we want that rear end locked down tight.
