Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The Axiom Supply Stage 1 Leveling System (SKU AXGM07STAGE1) provides up to 2" of front lift on GM 1500 trucks and SUVs equipped with factory front strut suspension — eliminating the factory nose-down rake while preserving factory ride quality. At the center of the system are two precision CNC-machined, aircraft-grade billet aluminum strut spacers, engineered to deliver accurate lift without altering the factory spring or strut assembly. Unlike low-cost cast or fabricated spacer kits, these are machined from premium billet aluminum for superior structural integrity and long-term durability, finished in a durable black powder coat. Direct bolt-on installation using factory mounting locations — no cutting, welding, or permanent modification. Accommodates tire sizes up to approximately 33", depending on wheel offset and tire dimensions. Lifetime warranty to the original purchaser.
Designed for use with factory front struts or OE-equivalent replacement struts only. Do not install with extended-length aftermarket struts or shocks.

Common Questions
Does this use torsion keys?
No. This platform uses factory front strut suspension, not torsion bars. The Stage 1 system uses precision-machined billet aluminum strut spacers instead.
Will this work with aftermarket extended struts?
No. This kit is designed for factory-length struts or OE-equivalent replacements only — extended-length aftermarket struts are not compatible.
Does this fit my Escalade?
Yes — confirmed for Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV (2007-2018), and Escalade EXT (2007-2013).
What if my truck has MagneRide?
You may need custom bracket relocation or fabrication. Relocation brackets are not included with this kit — plan accordingly before ordering.
Do I need new upper control arms with this?
Not strictly required, but Axiom recommends pairing with their Heavy-Duty Upper Control Arm System for optimal suspension geometry and increased alignment capability.
The Obsidian Take
The AXGM07STAGE1 is for the 2007-2018 GM 1500 4WD owner — Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL, or Escalade — who wants to eliminate the factory rake and clear up to roughly 33" tires without touching the factory strut or spring. Billet aluminum spacers, not cast or fabricated, with a lifetime warranty.
Two checks matter before ordering. First, confirm your struts are factory-length or OE-equivalent — extended aftermarket struts aren't compatible with this spacer system. Second, if your vehicle has MagneRide, budget for separate bracket relocation or fabrication, since that's not included.
Non-Returnable Notice: Once installed, this kit is non-returnable. Confirm strut type and MagneRide equipment before ordering.
