If your truck has got mileage you should budget for ball joints and control arm bushings. It will save you from doing the job twice. Excellent video.

@waverider48 10 лет назад

From living in the northern part of the county, all I kept thinking through this video was...damn, that's a non-rusty truck lol

@CharliClan 11 лет назад

really good video....... are you from phx...... if you are how much do you charge me to lower my 2000 silverado im need a 3/5 drop? thanks good video.

@wildbill5670 6 лет назад

I'm too much of a perfectionist. I would have to high pressure wash all that dirty chassis stuff. Then spray detergent to all the places the pressure washer didn't clean and put a scotch bright to it just enough to rid the dirt but not enough to invite rust. The high pressure wash one more time.

@mrgeo20 10 лет назад

Is it absolutely necessary to remove the bed when installing a drop? That seems like the worst part of it.

@rojoloko9314 5 лет назад

Badass video and good quality especially for a 2012 video 💯 very well explained 👍🏼

@TRUCK-PERFORMANCE 10 лет назад

Hola quiero bajar mi Silverado 92 2" adelante y 4" atrás que me recomiendas y cuáles serían los números de parte? Me podrías ayudar de favor soy de México

@pl747 6 лет назад

On the front, strip everything out of your way and loosen the ball joint nuts just a few turns with the spring still applying pressure and rap the steering knuckle hard with a hammer and usually they will break loose without having to use a pickle fork and messing up your ball joint boots. Then use the spring compressor.

@chuy28851 6 лет назад

Wow very nice

@allenwidmer8699 6 лет назад

Hey AndysAutoSportTV!!! This is my buddy jarred's truck he treid getting ahold of you actually let you know where the truck is.. And its currently in Central IL getting greatly taken care by a highschooler he loves the truck!

@AndysAutoSportTV 6 лет назад

Awesome, great to hear!

@joebolin4522 8 лет назад

Wonder what the truck looked like when it was done,never really showed truck.

@kevinpeterson294 10 лет назад

Gotta love a loose pocket! Jk! The only thing, I didn't like is cutting the bed.I would rather grind the"Sandwiches" flush with the top off the rail.Seem like the c-notch should be boxed on the inside with maybe that Sandwich plate.O well great job! I love full size short beds!

@mitchatkinson5599 8 лет назад

Just watched ur video.step by step instruction Nice. I have a 63 gmc short box step side with a 1972 front end with a 2-1/2 drop spindle on air bags and can't get the bottom of the a frame from hitting the ground. olso have a1983 posi rear on air. the truck rides very rough. Have I missed something in my project or is this just the nature of the beast. I am willing to lose the bags and go back to coils and coil overs if I can get a better ride and keep it low. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe u could do an older truck next Tks.

@OneLove183 11 лет назад

they forgot to mention that you need to remove the tow hitch, but other then that very helpful. already installed my 2 in drop shackles, later on I'm gonna swap leaf springs to give it another 2 in, and then spindles. thanks for the video.

@Moneyindabank3232 10 лет назад

@MrMatte0000 10 лет назад

So that's were 2Pac went.

@MR.TORRES_GARAGE 4 года назад

I have a 1999 4wd 2 door Tahoe. Is there a way to lowering this truck? If so can you give me some tips or a breakdown on what to get please?Thanks for your time!!

@AndysAutoSportTV 4 года назад

Hi Javier! Unfortunately I don't know of any lowering kits available for the 4wd. Sorry about that man!

@steelbosgrove8446 11 лет назад

i dont own a truck and doubt i ever will , but this video was gripping and insightful from start to finish !

@gregmata839 10 лет назад

Hi there, I've never lowered a truck before. I'm really a rookie in all this. Okay so I have a 77 c10 that I'm lowering , do I use a flip kit or lowering blocks? my axle is sitting under the leaf springs.

@AndysAutoSportTV 11 лет назад

You lose LOTS of suspension travel!

@gregmata839 10 лет назад

Thank you for the advice, I was on your website and I couldn't find the flip kit for my 77 c10. I'm looking to get lowering coils and drop spindles too.

@hectorgarciajr82 11 лет назад

What size tires and wheels

@worthey0846 10 лет назад

What size of rams do you guys have on your truck in this video what is the front size and what is the back size with the backspacing are they boss

@JAMESYBOY. 10 лет назад

What rims are on the truck they are really nice please let me know ...thanks for the video you were very well at explaining everything

@AndysAutoSportTV 10 лет назад

American Racing Nova. Thanks for watching!

@nsschwenk2011 11 лет назад

Questions: 1. Did you not grease the new bushings and spindle when you installed them? 2. Does the castle nut on the spindle only have a hand tight torque? 3. What are the typical torque specs for suspension components? P.S. I would of cleaned and freshly coated the frame to match your new shiny suspension components to make a super clean look as well. Great video. Thanks!

@paulsouders3489 4 года назад

After watching this iam Definitely gonna research where I take my truck for its 4/6 drop I wish you can do it I don't want just anybody cutting on my frame

@crazynugka 11 лет назад

Good video, I would say the best video on how to install a flip kit.

@OvergrownAzn209 10 лет назад

Too bad you guys are selling your project Transphat. I learned a bit from watching the videos. Thanks for everything!

@ponchotx187 6 лет назад

Hi....great video so if I get a flip kit do I also have to do the C notch done

@AndysAutoSportTV 6 лет назад

Usuallly, yes. I'm not 100% sure that that's the case for every truck, but usually the axle will end up right against the frame if you don't do a c-notch, so there wouldn't be any suspension travel out back without one. This is definitely true if we're talking about the '88-98 GM fullsize trucks.

@jorgeramirez1015 7 лет назад

Is the spindle install the same for 99-06 Silverado plz answer, can't find a video anywhere

@HostileLace 11 лет назад

@jeffwilliams5952 11 лет назад

What size wheels and tires were those. I gotta a '90 silverado. Im gonna use the same size.(once i know)

@AndysAutoSportTV 11 лет назад

Generally, the rear will be the same, but the front suspension is usually different and can't be lowered as much as a two wheel drive truck. Thanks for watching.

@hawk001civic 8 лет назад

Hi there,Iam thinking of lowering my truck,I have 2015 ram what brand of drop kit do you recommend,thinking of 2/4 drop.

@RedneckKustumz 11 лет назад

@schighderregis1 10 лет назад

When you lower the truck witk the kit, doesnt the truck bounce while driving?

@AndysAutoSportTV 10 лет назад

If done correctly with quality parts, the ride will not be much different than stock. Thanks for watching!

@chrishoyt6363 11 лет назад

for the flip kit, can you bolt on the reinforcement plate first and then cut the notch?

@mysterylovbug 8 лет назад

definitely a great video. very clear instructions after watching this video I am confident I can do this on my own no problem. really appreciate the video. I will be buying my products from your company.

@68Chamo 11 лет назад

I wonder which used in this vide kit or if I could help I need for my 1998 Chevy pickup Silverado, Regular cab short bed, 5x8 wheels, I know what the kit I recommend to lower it 5/7. Looking forward to your help.

@Long-nd8bq 11 лет назад

That truck looks good at the end. If it was mine, I'd do a roll pan out back, tint the windows, body color grille with the quad lamp setup and use smoked lights with an HID kit, get rid of the chrome bumper up front and go with a painted bumper and paint it to match, then paint the door handles to match. I see you did mirrors in another episode, I'd paint them to match too. Then take out the factory bench and put in buckets and make a console and a sub box. Oh yeah, and a cowl hood.

@hmx619 12 лет назад

finally a video showing the steps of dropping a silverado YT needed this thank you andys autosport i just got my spindles from yall ready to go low!

@laylow880 11 лет назад

@shadeverettmusic 10 лет назад

i want to lower my 70c10 shortbed 3/5 it has a two part drive line will that be safe ?or should make one piece drive shaft ? Anybody ???

@alexandret.8130 5 лет назад

best video on the topic

@SparkyMcMuscle 11 лет назад

I've never done any suspension work before but I'm looking at lowering a 98 s10. This video made me kind of concerned about doing the front. 1 to 10 how difficult will the coils and spindles be?

@DansViper98 11 лет назад

Awesome video. I have been contemplating a flip kit for my 02 F-150 Harley Edition SuperCrew. Thanks to this video i feel confident in being able to move ahead with it this spring. Thanks Again!!!

@asilaydying672 11 лет назад

i love this video; i have a 1993 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup that i wanna do the same drop as well with 22's would that work?

@gcon92 11 лет назад

When I'm getting a pickup, I'm bringing it to you. 'Cept I don't want the notch kit. Anything that doesn't require drilling or cutting. Just moderate lowering is good enough for me :) Great video!

@tyeedwrds 12 лет назад

Great video. Any suggestions on where to find a straight axle lowering kit for a 61 F-100 Unibody? I have a leaf spring kit from eibach for the rear, from a newer truck. I am going to weld in attaching components. What I am having trouble with is a straight axle option. I don't want a new crossmember or contol arm suspension. I think the dropped straight axle would be excellent. Know any suppliers?

@jordanschultz7328 11 лет назад

Please tell us size rims and tires!

@senorpapi5151 10 лет назад

I have a 4/6 lowering kit with spindle, springs, shocks and flip kit. Is this the same kit? If so, what size wheels are those on there? This is the EXACT same look I'm going for and I would like to know what size wheels would clear with this drop kit. Thanks in advance!! AWESOME VIDEO by the way!!!

@AndysAutoSportTV 10 лет назад

Hi Tim. We installed a 5/7 drop on the truck. The wheels are 20-inch American Racing Novas. Thanks for watching!

@argallguitars 11 лет назад

Great video and very informative. I didn't see you use a pinion angle shim for the flip kit. How do you know if you need one? I have a 1984 C10 I want to eventually lower maybe a 3/4.

@hhH-dm8it 7 лет назад

what's up with a kit for the 98-03 4WD Durango's?? DJM used to make one but what I can do to drop mine 3" and get a decent ride without chewing up the front driveshafts? Any help is appreciated

@BornToBeFamed 7 лет назад

S10 shocks out back would have did the trick for the that inch drop and wouldn't need the shock extender . But man this helped alot with the flip kit review

@jakethewolfproductions8733 8 лет назад

Do you have to take off the bed? Or can you do this with the bed on?

@expatconn7242 11 лет назад

@BoogieBodine 11 лет назад

what happens if u dont c notch the frame

@7730DABOSS1974 7 лет назад

I have a 2002 dodge ram which has a 2/4 drop. I think for the front drop springs and the rear was a flip kit. My alignment has been off, well places I took it to said because of dropping it the alignment can be 100%. Is it because of just using springs? Also I want to go lower so what would you recommend?

@luisreyes7577 5 лет назад

ESO ES TODOOOOO?..YA NO TE FALTÓ ALGO MAAAAAÁS?????.😢

@shadestradingpostcom 3 года назад

wonder why he didn't add grease to the new drop spindle when putting the rotor back on. Other than that is was a great video

@CBiskitone 7 лет назад

Thanks for this info. It helped me a lot in figuring what I want to do with my 1997 Chevy Suburban I just got. It will be an every day ride,....for now. What size wheel and tire are you running? Also will that brand spindle work with most big brake kits if I want to lower it first and do brake conversion later? I notice how some big brake kits come with their own spindle; is there a reason for that?

@keefer4742 5 лет назад

Good video except how you gonna disassemble that far and then pretend you don't see that dry cracked-ass bushing on that leaf spring!?

@joser81 10 лет назад

Question, I have a 2011 silverado amd wanted to use lowering leaf springs. If my driving is completely street and freeway, whats the ride usually like with leaf springs?

@albertomerinocampos3780 10 лет назад

Hi am from Chile South America, I have a chevy c10 1970 and will like to lower it, can you tell me if that kits will work? and if you can send it to me?

@pedromedrano6260 10 лет назад

Nice video guys, I had a quick question maybe you can help me out. I did a belltech flip kit on the rear of my 05 Ram Quad cab, truck rode great, but I needed to move and wanted to use my truck, well I was hoping to get stock height, or close to stock, when I removed the leaf flip, and shocks, I left on the shackle but now the truck rides higher than stock, any ideas?

@shades___theruler6131 5 лет назад

Hey... Andy Motor Sport ! Make a video on how to lower any 88 to 99 K1500 or 4WD the proper way please. With all the max drop specs and info. This would help all the non - off road street rolling only 4x4 drivers outhere.

@jesuschocolate1 11 лет назад

How do u adjust your pinion angle? After my flipkit my pinion angle went way off idk why. But im not sure how to fix it. Any help would be really appreciated. thanks

@DannyAllen10271966 7 лет назад

I have a 2001 Mazda b3000 with a 407 I would like to drop the front 3 inches I have the torsion bars. Do you sell a kit for it. Great video thanks

@eshyne1 10 лет назад

***** which in of these kits out you recommend for a 4x4 truck? I have a 1994 2 door Yukon Gt that i won't to lower for performance reasons.

@senioraces 4 года назад

He could have shown a few more shots of the finished truck.

@juanmoreno4007 10 лет назад

Hey I would like to lower my ck extra cab I don't want to floor it maybe drop it 2 inches on rear and front. What tires would you recommend and what size tires and wheels would you recommend I want to give it like a hot rod look so I would like some drag radial tires something like that.

@jonessy40 7 лет назад

Are the front ends different on the 88-98. I see some kits the lowering spindles are 88-91. And then 92-98. Of they are can someone tell me how,they are different. Thanks

@BigBlowingBabys69 10 лет назад

I have a 1996 chyenne amd when on the web site im confused rather to by c1500 parts or silverado parts please let me know

@ericksolis6970 7 лет назад

Do you have a video on lowering control arms? And can I lower my truck 4 inches with just lowering control arms? I want a 4/6 drop.

@bushfire106 6 лет назад

I don't usual leave comments but I'm from the UK and over here there isn't much info on any American imported vehicles but the guys at Andys Auto Sport have helped me out a lot from watching their videos!

@tunercars3 8 лет назад

well for starters you didn't show enough of the finished product how well it drove how well it looked and you also left out the cost of everything and the time it took to do everything

@ShawnMc749 10 лет назад

Unreal, just eye it on your marks for notching... Do you not own a 24" square?

@robertpatrick5531 3 года назад

Even though this video is 8 year old it"s very informative !!!! Great video but one thing that they didn't address was that the rear leaf spring shackles are about 2 inches above the trucks frame so when putting the bed back on it will be 2 inches higher in the back of the bed than the front of the bed and this will eventually cause a hole to be worn through the floor of the bed.

@reginaldbennett936 10 лет назад

Are you running 22's all the way around or are they 20's American Racing Nova's? And what are the width's on them?

@rcspaceport8630 10 лет назад

What size rims are they 20 or 22. And how wide ? And offset and backspacing ? And also what size tires ? Thanks rich

@joelscharfenberg4557 7 лет назад
