Duramax Leveling Secrets No One Tells You to fit 35s! 

The dust boot itself do not fall under warranty whereas the joint itself is covered for life to the original owner. Over greasing can cause the boot to tear/fail prematurely.

Use heat on the keys. Make them red hot and beat them out with a sledge and a large punch.

I removed the lower control arms from the truck, stabilized the torsion bar on the key side, and then hit the lower control arm with a hammer to beat it off of the torsion bar when I installed my 6 inch lift. Not sure why this worked better than trying to hammer the bar through the arm.

I live in Idaho and they don't use salt anymore, they spray a liquid on the road that helps against ice and doesn't accelerate rusting.

im up in MN and when i leveled me 1500 a had to get a MAP gas torch to heat them up. they came right off hope this helps

People forget shocks typically only last 50-70k miles. Leveled or lifted is all just for the look and function you want and need but either way it's got to be done the right way.

2022 Denali 2500 will run 35s stock.... no leveling. That is on any of the stock 20" rims that come on them. I run Toyo 35 x 13.5 x 20 R/T Trails on mine. No problems at all.

To get the keys out if heating and beating has failed, I put the truck on the ground then get a 60lb jackhammer set it on your stomach while laying on your back under the truck and with your foot hold the end of the jack hammer on the tortion bar and send it. If that fails split the key with a grinder, if that fails Sawzall the cross member and hit the spring back from the front, then go to the junk yard and get a cross member. I've done all these recommendations

I'm from Wisconsin I'd say next most obvious step would be heat it up with a torch to change out the keys. Even tho a leveling kit on an ifs truck is just silly imo.

Bro this is my dream truck I can’t find one can you give it away! I’ll be sure to enter

Used an air hammer on mine was done in 1 minute after I wasted 2 hours shaking it with a hammer

Great video as always but can you turn down the intro music some?

Not trying to start anything or bring up drama if any...what happen to dealer options?

JW, you need a bigger impact hammer for those torsion keys, ask your snap on guy he will set you up, you can even try it out before you buy it, may depend on your salesman, if your friend spends 750 on a torque wrench, he can afford this impact hammer it’s a game changer. PS please spell his name so I don’t butcher it in the comments. Thanks 😊

Fits perfect but rubs both ways lol

Love it, how long did it take for you to get your kit. I ordered the same kit for my Lmm ,and it’s been 6 weeks still haven’t got it. Not throwing shade just wondering, I’m a very impatient person lol

I just bought a 13 denali with 90k miles for 35k all stock. Starting the process of the build your videos are gonna help along the way thanks!

Kryponite level with fox shocks is $2000 where I live in Canada man

Heat is your friend.

Glad you brought this up. Been running a Kryptonite stage 3 leveling kit on my L5P for 3 years. Definitely rides way better than it did when i drove it off the lot. I've been telling people if you want to level it, do it right!

Heat is the only way to go

Man, for a little bit more, being that it’s an lml, I would’ve bought the wicked customs leveling kit being that it comes with a diff drop. I had a 13 lml and I used kryptonite ucas, keys, bilstein shocks and I bought a 20-30 set off drop spacers. And it still rode pretty rough. Btw I would strongly consider wicked customs bumper spacer kit

Use a puller works great

Love the content! when is the giveaway winner being announced?

Do y’all like fox shocks or bilsteins better on leveling kits?
