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

The “Max Payload” Specialist | 5/8″ HD Hardware |

Built for the North’s Heaviest Loads.

Let’s have some “Real Talk”: A loaded 3500-series van in Canada has a tough life. Between the frost heaves in the Yukon and the salt-covered winter highways of Ontario, your suspension takes a beating every single day. If your van is sagging under the weight of a full camper build, a mobile welding shop, or a heavy service body, you are one deep pothole away from a very expensive repair to your grey water tanks or your rear differential.

The #404088-R is our toughest rear-only kit. We provide a full 2.5″ of rear lift using laser-cut steel and massive 5/8″ U-bolts. This kit is specifically designed for the Canadian rigs that outgrew standard hardware years ago and need real-world clearance for the job site or the backcountry.

🛑 THE “5/8-INCH” HARDWARE CHECK: > * HD Specific: This kit includes 5/8″ U-bolts, specifically designed for the heavy-duty rear axles found on most 3500 models and high-GVWR 2500s.

• Standard Option: If your van uses the standard 9/16″ hardware, you need the #404088-RT (2″ lift).

• No Customs, No Duties: Made right here in Canada from North American steel. Shipped fast with zero surprise brokerage fees.

The Highlights:

• 2.5 Inches of Extra “Daylight”: This is our tallest rear-only option. It’s the perfect way to level out a van with a heavy permanent interior build or to compensate for a massive towing tongue weight on the way to the lake.

• North American Steel Toughness: We don’t use cast-iron blocks that can crack in sub-zero temperatures or aluminum that corrodes in road brine. This is North American Mill Certified Steel, laser-cut and finished with a durable coat to survive the harshest Canadian winters.

• Professional-Grade Hardware: Most aftermarket kits cut corners on the bolts. We give you 5/8″ high-strength hardware to ensure your leaf pack stays secured under the most extreme loads—essential for overloaded trade vans.

• Direct Bolt-On Reliability: No welding or permanent modifications required. This kit is designed for the Chevy/GMC leaf spring configuration to maintain your factory ride quality while giving you the height you need to clear snow and ruts.

• Fleet & Explorer Approved: Stop scraping your hitch on every gas station entrance and start protecting your under-chassis investments. Whether you’re a contractor or a “Van-Lifer,” 2.5 inches is the difference between getting stuck and getting home.
