Kryptonite Stage 3 Leveling Kit With FOX 2.5 HTO Shocks 20-26 GM 2500HD/3500
Description
If you're ready to level out the stance of your Duramax L5P and want the strength and ride quality to match, the Kryptonite Stage 3 Leveling Kit with FOX 2.5 Performance Series shocks is a serious upgrade for daily drivers, weekend warriors, and workhorses alike. Whether you're clearing room for 34" tires, eliminating that nose-down factory rake, or just want a stronger, smoother ride, this kit delivers in every way.
At the heart of the system are Kryptonite’s forged torsion keys. These keys are designed to grab the hex surface of the torsion bar with a tighter, sturdier fit and provide up to 2" of lift without adding pressure to your stock suspension components. Built 25% stronger than factory and corrosion-resistant, they’re built to last for the life of your truck. Complementing the keys are Kryptonite’s boxed upper control arms, laser cut, expertly welded, and proudly made in the USA. These UCAs improve alignment, strength, and suspension travel whether you’re stock height, leveled, or lifted.
The Stage 3 kit steps it up further with FOX Performance Series 2.5 HTO (Hydraulic Top Out) shocks. These aluminum-body shocks are precision-tuned with internal floating piston technology, which separates oil from the high-pressure gas chamber to eliminate aeration and ensure maximum damping performance. They’re designed to give you a comfortable, controlled ride on the road while holding their own through rough terrain, towing loads, or hauling gear.
For those operating in harsh climates or dealing with worn-out factory hardware, the optional Kryptonite cam bolt kit is a smart add-on. It’s especially recommended for high-mileage trucks and allows proper front-end alignment, as long as your upper control arms remain in the stock location. Also available is the alignment pin kit, which replaces bent or crushed factory pins and simplifies the alignment process. This set makes it easier to dial in your suspension geometry after the lift is installed.
Whether you’re after better handling, more clearance, or just want to upgrade tired factory components, the Kryptonite Stage 3 Leveling Kit with FOX shocks brings the ride, the reliability, and the rugged performance you need.

About Kryptonite Products
Are you interested in replacing and upgrading your steering and suspension for the absolute last time with a product that will not only last as long as the rest of your truck, but also improve the suspension and steering feel? Kryptonite products are over-engineered, made in the USA products and most are even backed by a lifetime warranty. The Kryptonite No Fine Print Lifetime Warranty specifically states "Kryptonite steering and suspension components are warrantied for life to their original purchaser. This warranty is against any manufacturer defects, premature wear or breakage. Race it, jump it, off road it, wreck it, lift it, lower it, sled pull it, I think you get it? We dont care. If you can break it we will replace it." That's a pretty bold statement and would require a company that builds a solid product to offer it and still be in business.
Maybe youve heard of Kryptonite, maybe not. For those that have not heard of Kryptonite, they are a steering and suspension manufacturer on a mission to offer the absolute best in steering and suspension options for trucks and even side by sides. Theyve spent years developing and perfecting these components, and all of them are proudly Made in the USA.
KRYPTONITE STEERINGMany would argue that Kryptonite got its foot in the door with their massive steering tie rods for Chevy 2500HD and 3500s, or maybe it was their upper control arms for this application. Maybe so, and wed have to agree they did a fantastic job in creating a bulletproof solution. From these initial proving grounds, Kryptonite has vastly expanded their portfolio in providing steering linkages for Ram and Fords, Lifetime Warranty Wheel Bearings, ball joints, centerlinks, pitman and idler arms, and even complete suspension systems!
Overall, if youre interested in upgrading your steering or suspension, dont think twice about upgrading with Kryptonite. As always, if you have any questions about what kit or component may be right for you and your truck, dont hesitate to contact us.

Great leveling kit
"Added this kit to my 2021 L5P and now it rides much nicer than the stock shocks. My truck looks great leveled with this kit."
Q&A
- What is the difference between this and stage 3?
- The Stage 4 kit is going to be coming with a 2.5" diameter shock body, where as the Stage 3 kit will be coming with a 2" diameter shock body. Giving the truck alittle better ride and holding up to a little more abuse due to the extra fluid capacity and shock valving.
