Rough Country lift kit 99-06 Silverado / sierra 

Lol. Thanks. Unfortunately with 1500 subscribers, this channel isn't big enough for companies care about.

I'm glad you found it helpful. The kit is actually easy to install, minus the front keys which are always rusted in.

@@chrismakesstuff1 my trucks underbody is pretty clean I do t think I'll have to worry to much

how did you make out?

Add a Leaf or upgraded leaf springs is money well spent and adds utility/ reliability, In addition to raising whole truck... For c/k gm trucks the 2500 or 3500 leaf will work.. in time the metal fatigues and it boosts your payload for trailer/;camper... Look at the leafs on this truck.. ad a leaf or replacement would have been money better spent...

@@mysticjedi6730 sure, add a leaf is another option, but this video is a demonstration and review of the rough country lift kit.

I really like their kits. The only thing I wish they would include are the bolts for the torsion keys. In the rust belt, the threads have a habit of disappearing.

The Titantic sank in 1912, Jack was stored on it... because Rose didn't share the door.

I know for a fact his eyes were getting filled with shit 😂😂

Hi Dave, Sometimes sliding the torsion springs back into the new keys can be tricky. I have found that cleaning up the hex end of the torsion bars with a wire wheel on a angle grinder is necessary, then add some never seize to the end of the hex. It should slide right in.

You don't need any of those for this size lift. Please subscribe for other free tips and tricks.

yes. lifting any vehicle with IFS will cause premature wear of ball-joints and cv joints.

Good lift block kits have a angled blocks to compensate for the lift height. I've never done a drop kit, but rough country also makes drop kits.

Thank you! Cheers!

18" wheels will clear the calipers without a problem. The tire size is what matters. 275's will clear without cutting on a z series truck, but those also have a small 1"-2" factory lift. Maybe someone with more experience with the base models or 2wd can chime in.

yes I have 2021 wheels with 265 65 R18 no rub

If your truck has a front differential, its 4wd and will use the 4wd kit.

This is a review for the 4x4 lift. I've never worked with the 2wd lift so I can't really contribute.

I don't unfortunately, but rough country has a good website and they sell on Amazon.

It is a night to day improvement. This is mainly due to installing brand new shocks compared to the old ones that had the resistance of a slide flute. Also, putting in lift keys increases the spring rate on the front making it stiffer. There is a significant drop in body roll while cornering, but also this firms up the ride quality.

@@chrismakesstuff1 Also puts more wear on the cv axles I think.

@@yourface3154 correct. Cv axles, ball joints, and end links will all wear faster with a lift.

I’d recommend getting some aftermarket upper control arms after getting this kit. I have the exact setup on my 2001 and the uca makes the angles a lot better and less stress on the ball joints.

@@z06bir Good tip.

Lol. It's all relative I suppose.

It's not recommended. It is "possible" to stack lift blocks. Have I done it, yes. Would I do it again, noooo.

Yes, they are 3in blocks. But keep in mind, if it's going on a z series truck, they come with a factory 2in block. Since it's ill advised to stack blocks, you will only get 1in of lift.

the rims are factory 17" or 18," i forget off-hand.

@@chrismakesstuff1 thank you truck sits really nice

?

@@chrismakesstuff1 Rust, lol.

Just the joys of living in a road Salt region. The frame is solid which is important.

@@chrismakesstuff1 Nice, Hopefully those leaf springs don't fall apart while you are driving.

@@Theorcman2008 leafspring failure is never good, thankfully these are solid.

275

@@chrismakesstuff1 thank you also was this a 3” lift?

@@Davvidd702 yes

275/??R??

275? What need the whole size to know what it measures too
