A air hammer with a nice chisel bit will take the rivets out fairly quickly I suggest hearing protection

Hello quick question , when your going this low does it affect the driveshaft? Or is there any modifications done to it as well?

@jasonnellis3566 Год назад

How do you get rid of the chevy lean on the 2014 silverado. Ive lowered it with 2 inch spindles oem springs and 1 inch belltech strouts which gave me a 3 inch drop in front. Truck is leaning on drivers side.

@Whatarush91 3 года назад

I’m looking to lower the rear of my truck, I bought the shackles but I read somewhere that the hanger kit allows you to have the same load capacity which I still want. Would I be able to install both the aftermarket shackles and the hangers to get that leveling look without loosing load capacity and removing the blocks? Sorry if this is a dumb question but this is the first time I’m doing something like this

@BreakersStereo 2 года назад

Ok how much are you looking to lower the rear??

I just installed a 4/6 drop on my 2018 Sierra 1500. I need to replace the rear shocks but don’t know what to buy. Do you have a part number for the ones used on this video?

@chelo2low_onyoutube 3 года назад

Flip kit with shackles will give you 7-8 drop and the results are 4inch what?

@rayg1217 3 года назад

He removed the stock hanger and put an adjustable lift hanger that you can put at 5 or 6” drop with stock shackle . He put that hanger at the 5” holes and added the longer shackles in the middle hole to lift it 1”

@Maxspeed996 3 года назад

Was this truck lifted or leveled prior to the lowering being done? A few things caught my eye upon disassembly. And would using the lowering inserts there under the shock mount cause decreased ride characteristics? Do you have to match up the lowering amount with a specific replacement shock in both the front and back to match the same drop amount? Thanks for the video.

@BreakersStereo 3 года назад

Yes it was leveled with rear shackles. And yes in my opinion using the drop strut rings does take away from the ride but no matter what method you do will do it as well. The only method we DO NOT recommend flipping the the shock mount under the lower control arm. That makes it ride unbearable. And only the rear shock needs to be replace or add the rear shock mount bracket. But some kits do come with from strut replacements which will make it ride better. Hope that helps.

To get a 12” in the rear you need to re fabricate the frame to clear the axel and maybe cut the bed as well.

Whats the average cost of lowering a pickup?

@blexro1215 Год назад

Depends on the part and the way u got but I paid 2/4 flip kit, for 1k which is pretty expensive. I did a 3” lift block on the axle which drops it 3” then I added 2” drop shackle with the hanger for a totally of 2/9. Anything over 6 you need a c notch over 8 step notch

You can do a 3 inch drop if u take the leaf spring block out

@ernestodiaz7792 2 года назад

Flip kit . With long shackles raise your height ? Flip kit with small shackles lower height ? I’m very much confused now . What about pinion angles this not giving out drive line vibes ?

@BreakersStereo 2 года назад

Yes with a flip kit long shackles raises. Smaller equals lower and not for these heights, never ran into vibration issues
