Silverado-Specific Tip

The 2019+ Silverado 1500 uses stamped steel control arms from the factory. Upgrading to forged aluminum or tubular steel upper control arms (Rough Country, Cognito, or BDS) is highly recommended with any lift over 3 inches — the factory arms do not handle the new geometry well and can cause ball joint wear.
