2003–2026 Chevy Express & GMC Savana 2500/3500 – 2″ Rear Lift Kit (#404088-RT)

The “Level Load” Solution | 8-Lug Heavy Duty | 9/16″ U-Bolts

Fix the Sag. Save the Plumbing.

Let’s have some “Real Talk”: If you own an 8-lug Chevy or GMC van, you know the “sinking feeling”—literally. Whether you’ve just finished a heavy camper build-out or you’ve got a service van loaded down with tools and ladders, that rear end starts to squat. Not only does it look bad, but it puts your expensive black and grey water tanks (or your rear bumper) in the line of fire every time you go over a speed bump or a pothole.

The #404088-RT is the professional’s fix. We provide a solid 2″ of rear lift to bring that back end up, giving you the ground clearance you need to navigate job sites, logging roads, or just a steep driveway without that gut-wrenching scrape.

🛑 THE “REAR-END” SPECS:

• Hardware: Includes heavy-duty 9/16″ U-bolts (Standard on many 2500/3500 chassis).

• Note on Bolts: If your van is a specialized Max-Payload or specific 3500 HD model that requires 5/8″ hardware, check out our #404088-R kit.

• Fitment: Chevy Express & GMC Savana 2500/3500 (2003–2026) 2WD 8-lug chassis.

The Highlights:

• 2 Inches of Extra Daylight: This kit provides a solid 2″ lift for the rear axle. It’s the perfect height to compensate for heavy interior builds or constant tool loads, ensuring your van sits level and stays off the bump stops.

• Protect Your Investment: For “Van-Lifers,” this is the cheapest insurance you can buy for your water tanks and plumbing. For contractors, it’s how you keep your rear bumper and hitch from bottoming out on every job site entrance.

• USA Steel Toughness: No cast-iron that can crack or plastic blocks that compress. We use USA Mill Certified Steel finished with a durable coat. It’s built in the rust belt to survive the road salt and the heavy weights these vans carry.

• Retain Towing Geometry: We designed this kit to lift the back end without ruining your van’s ability to tow. You keep your factory ride quality while gaining the height needed for larger tires or better departure angles.

• Direct Bolt-On: This isn’t a “universal” kit that kind of fits. It is precision-engineered for the Chevy/GMC 8-lug leaf spring configuration. Direct bolt-on, no welding, no headaches.
