If they make them for the 15-16's they'd still work on the 17's.
I have not heard of them changing anything on the 17's suspension wise. There might be a difference if they are steel control arms or aluminum control arms but I'd have to look for into it.

There are 3 different control arms, aluminum, cast steel and stamped steel. You need to figure out which ones you have, then go from there. Kristina ash at sport truck pros formerly known as suspension source(?) is pretty knowledgeable...more so than the rep I talked to at belltech when I had questions.

This is important info when selecting a lowering/lift kit for your 2015-2017 GM Truck. GM made things a real pain in the *** with the three different control arms that come on these trucks.
• Cast Control Arms
• Stamped Steel Arms
• Aluminum Arms
It is very important you check your truck before ordering any suspension kit that may contain a spindle.
Here is information on lowering options containing a spindle:
• Cast Control Arms (Belltech, McGaughys, Trekline, Maxtrac)
• Stamped Steel Arms (McGaughys, Maxtrac)
• Aluminum Arms (Maxtrac)
DJM Suspension has options their Lowering Control Arms for all three OE control arms.
Currently the pricing on the Stamped Steel Arm drop spindle options are fairly pricey. The cheapest being MaxTrac at $404.96. You can however get the McGaughy’s spindle in their complete kit to save money. The McG spindle alone is $541.97, in a complete 3/5 – 4/6 lowering kit $857.05.
If you need further help please let me know.

Did you speak to somebody directly? My truck is 2wd, belltech kit said 2wd only but it included transfer case spacers, and instructions for 4wd install. I'm not sure why they got all weird about 4wd installs. Flip kit was listed as regular cab only but Kristina assured me it would work on my crew cab, and it was the same kit belltech used on their shop truck.
