Next we’re gonna drop our transfer case and disconnect the transmission lines.

Just installed mine on a 2016 Silverado, out of experience you do not need to remove the brake system completely, just the lines are fine. Another tip, if it’s 2-3 people on the project, I recommend after removing the strut, one person installs the spacer and the other 2 start removing the sway bar and control arm. Makes it go by 10x faster.

If your a person familiar with a wrench but never done a suspension lift of any kind this is for you. This job is fairly easy but requires alot of elbow grease and patience because of thinking ways to ease the process, there was one task that I had more trouble on which was connecting the bottom strut back with the lower control arm, I recommend to remove the clamps where the bolts secure with on the strut then raise the lower control arm with a jack till the holes align properly and then send the bold through and then tighten with the clamp. doing this took alot of trial and error and once I found out a method to get pass that it was done in a jiffy. after installation the next day i went to install BFG KO2s 275/70/17 and fit in nicely will need an alignment for sure because now my steering wheel is a tad off. Suspension is stiffer and feel the road more but the tires is a contributing factor. All in all if your stuck during removal or installation there is a sweet spot that makes it so much easier. (ps. sorry for the bad sentence structure.)

Please read, you will have to remove 3 top shock bolts, 2 bottom of that,1 bolt front linkage, 1 middle knuckle and hit with hammer, and 1 bolt back sway. Nothing related to brakes or rotor or drum. You can pull out clips on any brake lines that may stress. Loosen. You will also need to align those 2 bolts on the bottom of shock, ( i grabbed a sturdy crescent wrench and clamped on the side on the little gap between middle of shock and clip. Loosen. Pry on the prybar to help the hole line up with bolt pathway. Screw from bottom. For lining everything up just use prying, and the car jack. Its actually very easy just some work required.

Great video very detailed How is the ride quality after the kit installation? Thank you

I really appreciate this video. You should change “you may have to rustle with this strut” to “you will have to rustle with this strut…there’s a good chance you will breakdown emotionally and want to take a sledgehammer to the side of the door but remain patient and find your own way to get the part aligned. Meanwhile I will continue on this vehicle that was driven one time when backed out of the shop.”

What size is the rim ? On the 33” rite ? Looks great !

This is a lot of unnecessary steps I put the rancho quick lift leaving kit on my 15 Silverado with just a prybar and a 15mm and 18mm sockets/ratchet wrenches and a torque wrench . All u need to do is remove the three nuts on top and the two bolts on the bottom then pry down on the control arm and push the bottom of the strut out then it drops out , u pull the top toward u and the strut pulls right out between the control arms then when u are putting it back together it’s the reverse order takes about 20-30 min per side and there is no need to disassemble all those extra components.

Anyone else having trouble removing the abs line? The Allen head is close to stripped so is it absolutely necessary to remove it?

No matter what I did I could not get the strut bolts off. Ended up snapping one of them. Ended up giving up after countless hours of not being able to break it loose

I know you mentioned 33”s, have you tried 34”s?

So the suspension from a 2018 sierra/silverado is the same as a 2011 sierra Denali? If so that means I can install a 2018 4x4 in my sierra Denali.

If you do both sides at once. You can swap the left strut to the right and vise versa. Makes it so you don't have to fight them back in.

How much does this fuck up the cv angles?

Do you offer the Rancho strut level kit for the Silverado?. If so can you do feature on it.

What wheel and tire combo is on in the 33" tire configuration? And did they rub at all?

Does this affect camber

Using a 3”front and 2”rear kit. Will I need to upgrade my shocks as well???

It’s been impossible to get the right leveling kit for something as simple as a Silverado 2500 REAR WHEEL DR .

I ordered a 2” but then changed my mind think I’m gonna order this one Instead for my 2015 Sierra .

My upper control arm doesn’t want to line with the knuckle I need help 9:29

Are there any your questions specs. When installing on top of strut mount

I'm having trouble putting the upper control arm to the spindle it won't reach? Do I need to loosen it all the way so it can have more movement?

My god the music drove me nuts!!!

My kingdom for a lift!

Explaining how to twist the strut 180 degrees would've helped a ton

i installed this kit on my 09 gmc denalli. It made my truck very nice however ive had to replace my axles twice. I was told that I needed a extended axles. Is there any one that could guide me to the right direction? or tell me what i should do, besides going back to stock.

Are there any issues getting the trucks alignment done after using the spacers? More specifically with the camber

You send to mexico?

Upper ball joint nut is spinning with the threaded rod can’t loosen it all the way any suggestions?

What size is the rear

I guess this will spoil the lower and upper arm or bolt joint..

Anyone think I need extended control arms for this 2.5 in level kit

I did the 2.5" lift after I noticed a light creeking sound any idea what it might be? I have a 2017 Silverado crew cab

I added Rancho 9000's all the way around on my 14 Sierra All Terrain, I set the rears at the FIVE(5) settings, and the Rancho leveling struts at THREE(3)... Now I still didn't like the stance so I also added the Rough Country lower spacers, now that leveled her out with the 33x12.5x20 COOPER MAXX tires...I also added air bags @ 15lbs on remote so I can keep her level when hooked up to my boat, and other trailers, SHE'S NOT A WORK TRUCK!!!

How much does this affect the geometry of the ball joints and drive shaft?

A 33” tire on a what, 17” wheel or 18” wheel?

Do you need to get new upper control arms, or are the stocks ones okay

What kind of wheels are on the truck?? I want them!!! Lol

what are thos wheels and specs?

Sooo these bolts don’t need to be torqued down to any spec?

is it true that adding a 2.5" leveling kit will change the rake angle enough to potentially damage the upper control arms?

How does it drive?

Does it require aftermarket control arms or is 2.5 okay to use stock?

How much trimming for 35s?

What size rims are those? Also i know say the tires are 33s is that the same as 285s. Thanks great video.

all this stuff has torque specs that should be followed.

It's hard to tell in this video, but does this 2.5" front leveling kit completely level the truck or is there still a small amount of rake? Thanks

Can you guys do an installation video of a kit that lowers the back tires of the truck?

did you have to turn the strut 180 degrees? I want to do my 2020 silverado but not sure how hard its going to be easy to turn and dont want to compress the strut.

9:05 is impossible to do

You could have saved more time if you didn’t remove the whole break system ... just the lines is enough .

I bought this kit installed it on a 17 Z71 and installed 275/60/20 tires on factory wheels and I’m rubbing on my UCA’s this is frustrating because factory tire size is 275/55/20. Mind you it’s a taller tire not a wider tire it’s actually .25” narrower than previous tires. HELP?!

R u going need alignment

$60 kit and $200 in additional tools plus air tools makes it easier. So much for my harbor freight crap

I have no money 🥺

That poor upper ball joint

He has a fracking earring really

this kit is kinda a piece of shit, it bottoms out on the bushing and makes it ride rough, would definitely go with a rough country or a suspension maxx. this kit is cheaply made and makes it hard to fit since you have to rotate it 180 degrees, worst design i’ve seen and would go with something else!
