New truck already has rust??!
Would this work on 2010 chevy colorado 2wd.? Plz help i hate the nose dive
on my truck
these dont have a torsion system?
Nice video man. Very cool.
A clear and understandable video on this process and thanks for the effort.
2 quick questions: For a 2″ lift, do any struts, springs, or any other
suspension components need to be changed to a different size? Also, are
lift kits pretty standard for all trucks? (I have a 2003 Dodge Ram that I
plan to lift.)
you are my inspiration for installing this myself this summer.. you couldnt
have explained any better and made any clearer thank you
Looks good Shadowjr660!
I have a 97 chevy c25. I HATE nose diving trucks. If your truck is an
older, 2wd work truck that sits with its butt in the air, 2 inches won’t
level it at all…. You need 3-4 inches. I went with a 4inch spindle lift
and I love it. They keep your factory steering and suspension at the same
angles they are the ONLY way to go!!
Did you use a torque wrench on any bolts? I installed this kit a few years
back and I am changing out to a Rancho Quick lift. I had a buddy help and I
cant recall if we used a torque wrench. Thanks.
Don’t for get to get the vehicle re aligned, normally it would throw your
camber out and toe as well!!! Good video though!!
Would this work on a 05 silverado 2wd?
Thank you for the reply.
Since you disconnected your tie-rod would that effect your alignment?
i had a leveling kit in my hands but my buddies talked me into going 6.5”
haha. nice truck man
I just park the truck on a flat hard surface. Measure from the ground, past
the center of the wheel to the center top of the wheel well. Measure front
and back and the differance would be the MAX lift hight
Anyone know what would happen if you put both the top and bottom spacers
on. Would everything still work OK. I know you would have to get it
realigned.Was thinking of doing this and then lifting the back 3″.
Very nice truck, huge improvement!
ok, just wondering because i have a dodge, and i heard that i would need a
spring compresser when i install a 2 inch leveling kit. Didn’t know if it
would be different or not
As of yet, I am still running the stock wheels and tires, but a 2″ lift
should allow up to 33″ tall tire. I have Installed several add-ons. Videos
of all those can be seen on my channel.
@jmaface4radio Thanks for the comment, glad you like it. As for tools
required for the job what you see was all I needed.
I haven’t seen any true comparison testing between the two, but the top
mount just seems to me, like a stronger or more durable spacer. Some of the
bottom mount spacers that I’ve seen are made of plastic. No good for 4×4!
@shadowjr660. where did you get the spacers? What brand are they and how
much should they cost?
What is the cost of the kit? Do you have to make any other changes for it
to perform the same?
@martinsteele05 you can still go back to stock,it’s only the non-threaded
portion of the bolts that get cut off. struts could always be replaced
also. the best option for you though would be to go with a 2.5in lift and
bolts don’t get cut at all.
Now throw on some bigger 275/75’s to take up some of that new space and it
looks like a beast.
A little hint: Prior to cutting the studs on the top of the strut, thread
the nuts that secure it back on. That way after cutting it, cleaning the
threads becomes a little easier after you remove the nuts.
Did you need to compress the spring at all to get it back to its normal
position?
Yeah for only 2 inch It does make a big difference. I’m thinking about
doing the same On my truck. Thanks for the video.
I just got the rough country leveling kit with it the spacer on the bottom
of the spring. Soo much easier to do. Loosening the upper control arm then
the stabilizer a d slide it in.
lift spacer is from “heavymetallifts” on ebay sells for $69.99, other
sizes are available also
