GM 1500 Cradle Kit (Dress Up Cradle Kit & Mini Cradle Options)
Compatible with 2007.5–2025 GM 1500 Trucks

We’ve updated our product line to stay consistent across all platforms — and this listing gives you two badass options to finish off your front suspension setup with style and strength.

Dress Up Cradle Kit 

This is our original cradle system — now rebranded as the Dress Up Cradle Kit. It’s designed to bolt onto existing drop crossmembers and add aggressive styling and reinforcement without altering geometry. Perfect for trucks already lifted 4'–14' with drop brackets.

Includes:

• Cradle brackets with your choice of inside layovers (mirrored stainless or machined aluminum)
• Front kicker bars with inside/outside overlays
• Rear traction bars with inside/outside overlays
• Rear lower perch mounts for traction bars
• All necessary hardware (Grade 8 SAE) and PTFE heim joints

Mini Cradle (NEW, Slightly Larger Design)

This is the new-generation Mini Cradle, larger than the dress-up version and consistent with what we offer for Ford and Ram platforms. It provides more structure, stronger gusseting, and a more aggressive look — while maintaining compatibility with lifted trucks.

• Includes:
• Larger cradle section with full overlay treatment (inside and outside)
• Upgraded cross bracing and reinforced kicker/traction bars
• Same mounting points as Dress Up Cradle — but offers more coverage and rigidity
• Premium layover options and full hardware kit

•  Choose Your Kit:
• Select Dress Up Cradle Kit or Mini Cradle in the configuration dropdown based on your needs and build style.
• Whether you're going for a show look or extra muscle, we've got the cradle for you. Questions? Hit us up anytime — we’ll help you pick the right setup.
