a quick tutorial on how to install a 3" spacer onto of your struts and a 2" block under your leaf springs.
this took about 2 hours to do. With simple hand tools and limited knowledge, the project is fine for beginners!

Did this on a 07 Yukon denali a few years back. The front was a total pain! Got the 3.5" leveling so a spacer above and below. Installing the 2 lower bolts got me creating new 4 letter words for the time it took to get them in. Definitely needed and alignment afterwards too, but also get a correct angle upper control arm for anything over 2 inches. The ride is a bit more stiff, but works great for me because it reduces roll on turns. Rockin 35s MTs under my Yukon Denali and been loving it for a few years now.

You absolutely do not have to take the upper control arm out of the spindle to take the strut out all you need to do is remove the sway bar link unbolt it from the lower control arm Loosen Three Top bolts and a push it towards the front diff and it pops right out

Excellent how to. Everyone removes just about everything to get these in and you don’t need to at all. I finished my 3.5 (3.5 inch lifted struts from rough country) in the front relatively easy. Thank you! I didn’t remove the tie rod nuts because they were spinning. Decided to move forward and was able to get the new struts in no problem with a little elbow grease. Anyone doing this, I would definitely recommend new upper control arms. It makes a huge difference in the travel for that knuckle and ride comfort.

Not to say anybodys wrong but ive done 3" level kits like this on three trucks about to do it to my new 2016 chevy and most those trucks i put over 100k no ball joint issues no axle angle issues if your going with a 2.5" it's absolutely no diff .5" isnt gonning to make or break you. If you want a 3" lift and clear larger tires do it you wont regret it if your just looking to level the truck use a 2" kit and have piece of mind. The motofab i bought was on amazon 124.99$ free shipping easy install as you watched. Besides if the ball joints did go out big deal replace the upper arm and joint at that point thats my plan on this new chevy and if the angke is bad enough theres a easy install for a front diff drop to help if needed really cheap as well. Good luck! Enjoy

Hello thanks for the video did learn a lot but my daughter bought a 2009 Chevy suburban with a lift kit but hers' looks like a u-joint and my grandson changed I can't remember but her tire, passenger side, fell off he called himself putting it back together trying to hammer something to make it straight instead of just replacing it make a longer story shorter the wheel bearing went bad had to replace that and an axle but that u-joint can't get it to fit unless I drop the tire rod but does it go right under the spring and strutt on the bottom?

I bought 3" front and 2" rear lift kit from Ebay for $87. My 2" rear lift is different than yours, it's a full aluminium billet (CNC machined). I'm done with rear easy peasy but struggling with front. Realizing that you removed upper arm. No wonder why I couldn't get bottom of shock bracket to hang on top of lower strut. Instruction don't tell me at all. Glad that I checked your video. Hey! Did you forget to bolt in 3" billet to top shock before you insert under truck shock support?? I saw you drop in 3" billet then install under strut support body. Or you already did bolted in billet to shock "video offline"?? Wonder..

I wanna do my own cheap lift big enough for 35s. an I'm willing to trim an cut some...

Read reviews and forums to find out what has worked and hasn't on other peoples trucks. From what I have read a 2.5 is the highest you should go before having to replace upper control arms due to ball joint issues. Hope this helps man. There are many companies out there for simple leveling kits like Rough Country and Moto Fab.
