Hey guys today this 2007 LBZ Duramax 2500HD is getting a new lift kit.
What's being installed is a coil-over conversion kit from BDS with 4.5" of lift & Fox remote reservoir shocks, adding ground clearance, suspension travel & durability to the front end of this GMC, resulting in better ride quality & off-road capabilities.
This is not a full tutorial but gives you a good idea on what's involved to do this lift. This kit dose make a huge difference but its important to remember that the rear end is still 3/4 or 1 ton leaf springs so there is still obviously some bucking & stiffness from that (weight in the box helps alot).
If you liked the video don't forget to hit that thumbs up button & subscribe!
See you in the next one!

That’s badass. Sweet set up

@TheOne48815 5 месяцев назад

Awesome video! I have the 6.5” lift but I have yet to install it. I’m going to get the truck painted first before I install it. One thing to consider for the rear is a Sulastic Shackle set. I’ve seen awesome things about them and am installing it too.

@jaredchilds8714 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the review. I have an Avalanche 2500 I have been debating which lift(coilover or torsion). I don't do much offroading where I live but I want to get the coilovers before BDS quits making them for the 8.1 avalanche. Great review.

Badass set up

@savagereviews7212 3 месяца назад

This is sweet I've been thinking of doing a solid axle swap but this is better plus I already have a bds lift on my lbs 🤘

@santiago101100 8 месяцев назад

I have the same suspension on my 06 Silverado, for the rear I was also thinking about buying Deaver leaf springs and in addition adding super-springs. The super-springs help gain back the weight carrying capacity 1000, 1500 or 2500 lb.

@MarkyMark2003 4 месяца назад

You can do deaver springs but just do rear airbags and you will keep your payload capacity

@marcleszczynski74 7 месяцев назад

Really should consider replacing the rears with deavers, its a hige difference. 3 inches over stock, is about perfect

@Jessersadler 2 месяца назад

possibility of doing deaver sprongs with airbags?

@corradettimotorsports360 10 месяцев назад

super clean and nice build man! what part of the NWT are you from? I lived in YK for about 10 years, but in Edmonton now, rebuilding my stolen F350! can't wait to see more!

@gervaisbuilt 10 месяцев назад

Oh sweet, good luck with rebuilding the Ford. And im in Fort Smith!

@Mr_Ruhl 8 месяцев назад

Is there any aftermarket support for the front differential on gmt800 2500\3500's? I know there isn't for the 1500s, which is pretty lame.

@gervaisbuilt 8 месяцев назад

Nor that I am aware of. The 2500/3500s have pretty strong front diffs unless your putting it through serious torque situations then I've hears of them cracking the housings.

@somebodyyouusetoknow4532 9 месяцев назад

Nice man ! New to the channel, what size tires are you running ? And have you ever had them kiss the fender ?

@gervaisbuilt 9 месяцев назад

I have 35s on and no, full clearance!

@user-vt2og3mh2i 7 месяцев назад

Where do i buy this coilovers

@jamdam6016 9 месяцев назад

Nice truck Bumper superstore has a deal going on where you give them your hard earned and and they never send you the bumper you ordered. I got scammed on a real nice trailready bumper

@gervaisbuilt 8 месяцев назад

Hey guys! Just to let you know the specs of parts/accessories on the truck are in the description

@michaelranalli9599 7 месяцев назад

Kick ass video. Gettin the same setup for my 8.1L HD. Did you opt for the narrow track knuckles? Front track width looks pretty wide…how much has it been increased?

@lawrencechan5999 6 месяцев назад

I got an 8.1 too! And thinking about this kit too! Let me know!

@michaelranalli9599 6 месяцев назад

Getting it installed as we speak! Will let you know my thoughts soon 👍🏼

@michaelranalli9599 6 месяцев назад

Got the 4” coilover kit and add-a-leaf in the rear for tail high stance installed on my ‘01 2500hd 8.1. Installed with no problems, works for LBZ and 8.1. Haven’t had it out a whole lot yet but it rides real nice and looks great! Sittin real nice on 16x10 -38mm bullet holes and 305/70r16. I like the look of a little wheel well gap but would have no problem fitting 35x12.50’s

@josephmanzoni2123 9 месяцев назад

is the max lift with the system 4.5? also did it come with anything for the rear or is it stock height?

@gervaisbuilt 9 месяцев назад

This is a fixed height kit at 4.5". And the rear came with 2" spacer blocks and longer shocks

@christhompson591 5 месяцев назад

Can this conversion kit be installed without the diff drop? I found the kit without all the parts to lower the diff but I’m not sure if it will work without it?

@gervaisbuilt 5 месяцев назад

No unfortunately you need to drop the diff in order to keep your CV joints running at a usable angle. It will cause more damage and binding down the road if you don't drop the diff as well!

@1234chris 7 месяцев назад

How long did it take you to but the lift on? Including paint and everything.

@gervaisbuilt 7 месяцев назад

It took me 3 days for everything. That includes the lift, new power steering gear, transfer case brace, wheel spacers & recording. If I wasn't recording and only did the lift then it could've been done in 1.5-2 days with the paint & cleanup.

@harvested6326 8 месяцев назад

What size wheel and tire are you running? Truck looks amazing!

@gervaisbuilt 8 месяцев назад

These are 35x12.5 tires and 18x8.5 wheels

@harvested6326 8 месяцев назад

Looks great love the stance! What is the offset of the wheel?

@Minecraftplazz76 18 дней назад

I got deavers an the cantilever an king with bypasses an king bump stops

@homervences5216 8 месяцев назад

Where these coil overs worth the price? Really thinking of pulling the trigger on this kit. Hows the ride quality in the rear ?

@markbevans1042 7 месяцев назад

Hey do you remember what size the rear block was?

@gervaisbuilt 7 месяцев назад

I believe it's a 4" block

@cesarmunoz9284 5 месяцев назад

So you eliminate the torsion bars?

@savaix 5 месяцев назад

Yes, no need for them with the reliance shifted to the coilovers to support the front

@chadrichardson411 8 месяцев назад

You need spacers in the rear

@zccrx89 10 месяцев назад

Is your dark interior stock?

@gervaisbuilt 10 месяцев назад

Yes this all the original interior minus the deck

@christophernoble3854 5 месяцев назад

Bds says this lift is only for the diesels. After watching this I litterally can’t see why it can’t be put onto my 2500hd 6.0… the only thing I can think is spring rate

@TheMonstervirus 5 месяцев назад

On the BDS website with the 4.5 Lift kit, there's a customer that posted install on a gmt800 2500 suburban.

@adrianlaverick8040 4 месяца назад

Correct. It's just spring rate. I contacted BDS and they run a 600lb 16in long spring, for You're 6.0 look at a 300-400 lb spring in a 16in length. 3.0 diameter.

@christophernoble3854 4 месяца назад

@@adrianlaverick8040 thanks man. Now I gotta decide if it’s worth doing this or solid axle swapping the truck. Pros. Solid axles are pure beef and little to nothing can go wrong cons the biggest tire I want to run is a 35.

@adrianlaverick8040 4 месяца назад

@christophernoble3854 it's really not needed to SAS, they still have all the same parts to fail, they are just beefier. But if you are only going with a 35in tire and don't absolutely beat the truck up everyday, you'll be fine with IFS, run kryptonite parts and this lift kit it's like the best of both worlds, amazing ride quality from coilover ifs, and great strength. Plus this kit just bolts on you don't have to cut the IFS out and weld in shock towers and radius arms and a track bar. I'm debating on SAS my truck with a WFO kit, but it's more expensive, won't ride as smooth, for strength I'm not sure I'll ever need I never broke the factory IFS and this truck was 4 wheeled pretty hard, now it's got kryptonite so I'm not worried about hurting the front end at all just want better ride quality out of it
