I like your intro music, pretty pantera-ish, the truck is a beast too
Yeah I’d much rather have Pantera! I miss those guys. Thanks for watching
Awesome 👍🏼

I bought a similar kit for my 93 K2500 Suburban. But with the front torsion bars cranked up to 3 inches, the thing rode like a ton of bricks…way too stiff and bouncy. Very unpleasant to drive. So I turned them back down to 2 inches…ride was much better, and a bit of trimming inside the wheel wells got rid of almost all the rubbing from my larger BFG All-Terrains.
But now the rear axle still has the 3 inch lift blocks in it, and the thing sits like some greasy 1970s high school boy’s jacked-up Nova with its ass way up in the air. The Suburban is so long that the tailgate is about half a foot higher now. So I bought some 2 inch blocks for the rear axle, still have to install them.

@@HartRockGarage Your welcome. And thanks! Yeah I was thinking about it considering we have a 1997 chevy suburban! How is it working for you? Any problems? Thanks!
I recommend longer shocks and torch off road now offers upper control arms that are designed specifically for this lift. I’d go with those to help with ride and alignment
@@HartRockGarage ok! Thank you I appreciate it!
You bet! If you have any other questions be sure to ask or to get ahold of Torch Off Road. We’d be glad to help
Do they come in lifts less than 3"? My 96 Suburban is a K2500, 7.4L, 8600GVW and so from the factory it sits up a bit. Going 3" with stock tire size (my preference) would be too high for me.
Excellent Video and Sound work and you made it easy to understand. Thank you.
Thank you very much for the compliments! And thanks for watching!
On your lift kit question, go to www.torchoffroad.com and look up the leveling kit for your particular suburban. The torsion bars are adjustable so the new torsion keys will allow you to adjust your lift from 1” to 3” higher depending on how you adjust after installation. Then decide if you want the rear lifted or not. If so I recommend the 2” blocks. I put 3” on mine and it really raises it so In your case you’d want the shorter blocks, if any at all. You can also message them on the website if you’re still unsure. Tell them Cody @ HartRock Garage sent you to them. They are extremely courteous and helpful. I hope this helps. Thanks again for watching!
I just looked on the website and there is a kit like I got for your K2500 as well. You will have the option of torsion keys, 2” or 3” rear block and the torsion bar tool which I highly recommended the tool. It’s very nice. So if you just want the front lifted an inch or two then just buys the torsion keys. If you want the whole thing lifted a bit then add the 2” rear blocks as well. If you do get it and lift it then send me som before and after pictures. I’d love to see the results!
My son has my old 97 silverado and wants to lift it. Your video was great. It's a two wheel drive so I really don't want to let him do a full suspension lift. Do you think he could fit 33" tires with the 3" leveling kit on front and back?
33” is doable but it’s about all it’ll handle. I also have another video where installed a kit on a 2wd. Check out my channel and you’ll see it. Thank you for the compliment and for watching. If you decide to get a kit please let me know. I can get you a discount through Torch Off Road.
Time for another suburban video!
💪🏻 we are gearing up for another one very soon. Thank you for watching!
Grease your key compression tool. Makes turning that thing a little bit easier.
Great advice. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe!
3 inches isn’t way over the top. It’s mild and allows for tire upgrades gives a more aggressive stance better clearance for off road
Agreed. And for the price it’s a good investment for those reasons may you just listed
Please subscribe
Really cool car 🚗
Thanks. It’s a shaggin wagon!
Thanks for the discount code, how crazy are the axle angles after the lift? Do you think a differential drop bracket is needed after doing the lift?
Hey not a problem! Thank you for watching!! If you plan on doing a lot of off road stuff I’d do a differential drop and cv axle spacers. It never hurts to get it all done when modifying suspension. Also if you want some longer shocks they have some from rough country on Torch Off-Road website. I can send you the link if you’d like. Let me know if you’re interested in the shocks as well and I’ll see if I can get them discounted also. Thank you very much for the support!!
@@HartRockGarage sweet! I’ll instal it and see how it rides and get back to you about the shocks. It’s basically a street truck, my town does have some pretty nasty roads, but most likely no off reading for me, do you think it’s absolutely necessary for just daily driving immediately? I do plan on doing the diff drop in the future but am pinching pennies at the moment lol
I’d go with longer shocks for the rough roads. Just the front. And you’ll have to okay with the torsion bars to get the ride you want. Roads are terrible here so I’m speaking from experience 😂. Diff drop and cv spacers can wait. Just don’t get crazy four wheeling in it
@@HartRockGarage good deal, I’ll check the price on torches website for 3 inch lift shocks for the front. Have you tried their shocks?
www.roughcountry.com/premium-n3-shock-absorbers-23259a.html?find=1998-chevy-c1500-k1500-suburban-4wd-736073
I saw your videos on this and decided to buy the leveling kit and I am having a hard time getting the torsion bar to move at all they factory keys are lose but the bar will not move so can’t get the keys out do you have any tips?
So you have all of the load completely off of the torsion bars? And you have removed the level adjustment bolt and retainer? Let’s start with that because that’s a safety issue if the load is still on it.
@@HartRockGarage yea I have all of that out and I decided to just unbolt the crossmember and slide it back it seems to be working so far
Ok great. So I had to add a lot of PB blaster to the hex part of the A-frame where the bars slide out. I put a jack under the A-Arm and slightly raised it to relieve tension. Then I got a bar and hammer and beat on the back of it and then just rattled it around by hand until it finally broke free
I realize this is an older video, but did you have to put longer shocks on it?
I did put longer shocks on it to help with the ride. If you are interested in this order you can use my promo Code HARTROCK10 and save 10% on your order.
I have a 97 tahoe 4wd 4 door that Im trying to put 24” rims on some off road tires what how many inches on the lift do i need for it ti fit and work!!
That will all depends on how big of a tire you are going to run. And that’ll be depicted by the large diameter of wheel you want to run. I had a 285/75 r20 on mine and that’s all it could handle
I know this is old video but I got a 99 Yukon all stock except for pipes should I go with the 3in rear lift or go with the 2?
Well the 3” set it up pretty high in the back. I like the back being up a bit but 2” would probably be good. Just depends on what look you want. Be sure to use Promo Code HARTROCK10 and Torch Off Road will give you 10% off! And thank you for watching!!!
@@HartRockGarage okay thanks I want it leveled all the way around like the front and the back the same
Just buy rough country cheap $=cheap performance especially in todays market
Too late! already lifted and sold this bad boy. haha. Thanks for watching!!
Should I go with the 3” blocks or 2” for the rear. Because I’m trying to get all around 3” lift
Well I went with 3” inch but it’s gonna depend on how your truck already sits. Mine was just slightly raked toward the rear and I wanted it level at least. I don’t like when the rear is lower. But mine is also high mileage. 3” will have the rear slightly higher depending on how you adjust your torsion bars
So I rambled a bit there. But I’d go 3” blocks
Does that mess with upper ball joints? Mine has already had work done and now I noticed the front is stiff little to no travel up or down.
If the upper ball joints are worn it can be an issue. Any time you change or modify the suspension it’s good practice to replace old parts that are tied to it. Sorry for the extremely delayed response. Thank you for watching!
It destroys uppers, and your UCA’s will beat themselves against the bump stop if you’re not careful.
Not to mention cv axle angles at full droop hanging up and binding.
That was a 4x4 model? How does it handle? I have a 4x4 but where I live, I don’t use it really.
Yes it was a 4X4. The handling is more stiff than stock of course. But the longer shocks helped that a bunch.
I'm wanting to do the same with my 92 chevy suburban! Where do i get that clamping tool for the keys? Thanks
You can order it on Torchoffroad.com along with the kit. Just go to the kit that fits your suburban, click on it and when you scroll down it’ll ask if you want 2” blocks or 3” blocks. Choose which ones you want and then it’ll ask if you want the tool. Just add the tool. It’s an awesome tool. Don’t forget to use promo code HARTROCK10 to get 10% off on the order!! Thanks for watching!!!
@@HartRockGarage thanks I appreciate it
You bet. Thank you!!
I recommend longer shocks for the front. Or shock extensions
Hey boss did you need an alignment right away?
Well I had to replace steering pieces too such as idler/pitman arm and ball joints. But yes alignment needs to be done. I’ve gone without it in the past and adjusted steering myself but it’s tough to get right and you’ll wear out ball joints and tires if not done properly. Thank you for watching!
You sound like Dr. Phill
😂😂😂🤘🏻🤘🏻
1 have a stock 98 stepside Silverado 4x4, I would like 35" tires and to level it. Would this be my best option
Well 35” tires would be kind of a stretch with this little lift. I had 285s on it and it was too much. I’d recommend something from Rough County to get plenty of clearance and a better ride honestly. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching
@@HartRockGarage thank you
Did you need to get different upper control arms for the ball joint angle?
It doesn’t call for it in the instructions. Alignment wise it’ll depend on where you take it
Thank you for watching
@@HartRockGarage what if you are off-roading heavily, would the alignment and the ball joint wear out faster?
Uppers are advised.
What tire size can you fit with this set up?
I ran a 285 75 R20 mud terrain and that was a bit much. That would definitely be the most you could run. When I turned it rubbed the air dam in my front bumper
So you don't have to do different shocks and control arms ?
Both optional. It’s really just up to you. It can be installed without either
I went with longer A arms and it still has upper ball joint a little in a bind, and if you wheel it much your cv joints will not last long
you forgot the differential drop kit the longer shocks cv axle spacers at a minimum
without the longer shocks one good pothole can over extend the shocks and cause a failure and without the differential drop kit. cv axles have a decent angle on them causing excessive wear and without cv axle spacers it is possible to over extend the cvaxle and cause a failure
I completely agree with all of that. Which is something I’ve been looking into. This video was just to show the affordable leveling kit. I appreciate you watching and greatly appreciate the comments!
@@HartRockGarage I peiced together my own lift kit overlooked the axle spacers. leased the truck to a friend next thing uk if I recall correctly the road goes straight here hits the gas and hits the embankment doing about 50 and left a rut from where he landed ended up overextending the cv axle
Its an Arkansas style kit🤷♀️
Did you have to replace the shocks as well?
No I was able to use the stock ones. On that note, I may get some longer shocks just to help the ride a bit. Thank you for watching!!
You can usually only crank it so far due to the upper control arm bottoming out on the stop. Did you do upper arms?
I did not but I recommend them. At the time Torch Off Road was in the process of making them. I have since sold the suburban. But I would definitely recommend them. And you can use my promo code HARTROCK10 and save 10% on them also.
Hey how many inches from the floor to the fender
It’s 18” from ground to bottom of Rocker panel. Running a 265 tire. Thank you for watching!!
How long did it rake to install?
It took around 3 hours total. It wasn’t bad except for the torsion bar not wanting to bust loose. Thank you very much for watching!
Did you get the 3 back and 3 front
Yes. 3” blocks in the rear and the torsion keys are made for up to 3”. Thanks for watching!!
Can I put this lift on a 88 s10?
No sorry. This kit will not fit an S-10
How dose it ride after doing the lift?
It’s was stiff. I’ll have a video out soon on how to adjust that. Thank you for watching!!
The ride was pretty bad. I’m dropping a video this evening showing what I thought I did wrong and how I adjusted it.
How’s it holding up brotha?
It’s good. I’ll have an update and ride adjustment video soon. Thanks for watching!
The lift kit held up nicely. I took it on a 150 mile round trip to do a little side job and it rode rough as hell. I’m uploading a video this evening showing what I thought I did wrong and how I adjusted the ride.

@@HartRockGarage sweet! Will definitely keep that in mind, been checking reviews and stuff and so fars people seem to like it especially for the price point
Yes the pricing is good and product is great. I recommend getting extended shocks if you go with a torsion key leveling kit. Torsion bars tend to bounce a bit when turned up. Either longer shocks or shock extensions
BOOOOMER
SOONER!!! Hey thanks for watching!!!
How’s it ride now?
It’s a little more stuff in the front now but overall has a really good ride. Thanks for watching!
Cool! Good work!
Do you live in Oregon?
No I am in Oklahoma
Would this fit a 2000 obs Tahoe ?
Is it the same body style as the one I have in the video? I was thinking they changed body style in 2000 🤔
Regardless, if your 2000 model has torsion bar suspension then there is a kit for it. It comes with shock extensions and rear coil spacers. $185 buck with the unloading tool. The tool is $45 bucks and well worth it.

@@HartRockGarage yeah, it’s the same body style. I’m 15 and getting my first car being a Tahoe and this will definitely be my first mod
Well it’ll be fun then! It’s a simple job. Just have to be extremely safe. Those torsion bars are can be dangerous. But it’s sure fun and it’s rewarding to see your work when finished
I got the kit with 3” blocks in the rear. I recommend getting extended shocks also. Those can be bought on torch off road website. Rough country are the ones I’d choose. Then turn the torsion bars down to help the ride
