Axiom Supply Stage 1 Leveling Kit | 2 in Front Lift | 2001-2010 GM 2500HD/3500HD

Axiom Stage 1 Leveling Kit | 2" Front Lift | 2001–2010 Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500HD & 3500HD

The Axiom Stage 1 Leveling Kit (SKU: AXGM10STAGE1) lifts the front of 2001–2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD/3500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD trucks up to 2", correcting factory rake and leveling the stance for improved appearance and larger tire clearance. High-strength metal construction with corrosion-resistant finish. Direct bolt-on installation — no cutting required. Designed specifically for the GMT800 and GMT900 GM HD front suspension platform. Front-end alignment is mandatory after installation.

Technical Specifications

• SKU: AXGM10STAGE1
• Stage: Stage 1 — leveling kit
• Front Lift: 2"
• Rear Lift: None — front leveling only
• Construction: High-strength metal, corrosion-resistant finish

• Weight: 11 lbs
• Application: Daily driving, towing, hauling — corrects factory front-to-rear rake

Installation Notes

• Alignment mandatory: Full front-end alignment (caster, camber, toe) is required after installation. A leveling kit changes front suspension geometry — do not drive the vehicle until aligned by a qualified alignment technician.
• Caster correction: A 2" front lift on the GMT800/GMT900 platform will reduce positive caster. On trucks used for towing or highway driving, adjustable upper control arms or a caster correction kit is recommended to restore factory caster angle and maintain steering stability.
• Shock compatibility: Verify front shock travel is compatible with 2" of additional lift. Stock shocks may top out on full droop after leveling — consider upgrading to Fox 2.0 AX663 (0–2" front lift, 2001–2010 GM HD) for correct travel range.
• Tire size: A 2" front lift provides clearance for tires up to approximately 33–34" on stock wheels. Verify wheel offset and backspacing before upsizing tires to avoid rubbing.
• Torque specs: Torque all suspension hardware to OEM specification for 2001–2010 GM 2500HD/3500HD (verify in GM service manual or Axiom install sheet).
• Re-torque: Re-torque all hardware after the first 500 miles of driving following installation.

Installation Warning

Do not drive the vehicle until a full front-end alignment has been completed — leveling kit installation directly affects caster, camber, and toe settings. Do not install on 2011 or newer GM HD trucks — front suspension geometry is incompatible. Failure to re-torque hardware after break-in can result in loose suspension components and unsafe handling. Once installed, the kit is non-returnable.

What is your current tire size, intended use (daily/tow/off-road), and have you confirmed your truck is 2001–2010 GMT800/GMT900 (not 2011+ K2XX) — and do you need a compatible front shock upgrade (AX663) to match the 2" lift?
