Also, don't forget to adjust your headlights down a bit. Best to make a mark on a wall before you begin work, then adjust them back down to that original line. Unless you want to be that guy who enjoys blinding other drivers that is!
Does it still drive smooth, specially on bumps? I bought a leveling kit for mine but I feel like it's gonna be a more bumpy/rough ride. Please let me know, I need to do a wheel rotation soon and this would be a perfect time to get it installed. Love your truck btw I wanted a white one but my husband chose the dark sky metallic.
I think I know what you're trying to say. Yes I had the wheels aligned after I installed the kit and would highly recommend everybody do the same after working with the suspension.
I didn't have any issues. Went together pretty quickly and easily as shown. Once I made it through the first side, the second was even faster. I've had no issues since either.
I used one off Amazon. The kits that use an aluminum block are all the same. You're only paying for a name with the more expensive ones. This was a 2 inch kit. I put one on the Silverado that was 1.5 inches. Both looked great!
@@antonioaguirre6813 I'm just under 36,000 miles and have had no issues. I've driven the highways of Texas and Louisiana which are as bad as the Rubicon trail!
@@phil_hazzy I appreciate and thank you for the feedback. I will be looking into getting one for my 2019 GMC Sierra X31 as well. Will it still work or fit on a 4WD?
did you lift the front using the hydraulic jack in the center placing both left + right jackstands, or did you lift one side at a time placing a jackstand one at a time? Thanks
...also, any reason why you placed the jackstands on the sway bar cradle vs the rounded jack locations on the frame according to the manual (seen at 1:13 just behind the left jackstand on the frame)? Just checking' no judgment lol
@@jishyg8526 I had a little more confidence in the jack stands holding the round section of the sway bar and I lifted in the center to get both sides in one lift. Personal preference though. Just be sure you're comfortable/confident where you lift and support the truck.
@@phil_hazzy I might just copy ya. I heard people getting dents in frame from jacksstands since I guess GM has an adapter you're supposed to buy to cover the entire new model frame edge (not gonna do). Many level kits call for unplugging the ESC (electric starter controller) harness beforehand because when you hit the knuckle with a hammer it could send an electric shock to the ESC damaging it, but many peeps skip that part (as I will too, haha). Thanks for video!
I had the same problem, followed all the instructions and my cv boot is resting on my strut. I made a video of it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7cn9zBNZsi4.html
Any difference in handling when the bed is loaded? I always figured the front was lower when the bed was unloaded so that when the bed is loaded down the front isn't higher (should be more or less level then).
You are correct but the amount of times I have put a large load is the bed over the last year is 2. Both times it did fine. I prefer a level look the rest of the time though.
I just got a 2020 Sierra myself on June 27th. I wanna level it bad, but I’m just nervous to mess with suspension. Also, did it mess with tire pressure sensors when you put new tires on?
Those are the tires my truck came with. I can tell you it hasn't changed the ride quality one bit! Make sure you get an alignment though. You won't regret it so get wrenching!
Oh by the way don’t do what’s he does in the exact order. He’s watched a few too many videos. And he hasn’t been thru a true struggle based off a lot of observations
Tom, not sure why you'd say that. This is an easy mod recorded in the exact steps I did it. There's no deceptive editing here. I've struggled with a couple mods but this wasn't one of them.
