    Here from 2024…you talking about 1000 subs, not knowing what’s in the future for your channel, puts a smile on my face. You guys are amazing. Mahalo! See you in the future! 😂

    just put the same lift on my 2014, it does now come with a bigger, 3" block for the rear and the instructions specifically tell you to remove factory blocks. Great reviews, all your videos are in depth and detailed!

  • @DaleTupling
    @DaleTupling Před 6 lety +18

    I have been researching this and unless someone else has noted it, the kit you originally bought is for 2WD trucks and not the 4WD trucks. Which that kit comes with the 1.5” block and the 4wd kit comes with a solid 3” block. On a different note I am loving the channel!

    • @RTM459

    That’s interesting on the rear blocks. My kit came with 3” and everything. Kinda thought that was common sense. I also got the lifted shocks and new control arms with my kit and they made a huge difference, definitely worth the money

Good to know and I'm going to look into those blocks on my truck but I plan to do the 6in BDS lift sometime but still really good to know about those blocks in the back! Keep up the reviews!

    Rough Country has the kit with the upper control arms. I’ve seen a few reviews now where people talk about the bad angles, but choose to not buy the kit with the controls arms. 🤔 Like you mentioned though, it’s a budget friendly level/lift. Can’t expect the world at that price point. I would guess the CV angles don’t look all that great either. Enjoy the power tools, looks like you made the subscriber count.

    Well done again brotha! Cheap option for a decent impact.. get a Rigid impact from home depot, its not nearly as strong as an air powered impact gun but its super convenient, inexpensive, and cordless. I'll break bolts loose with a wrench then hit it with the rigid and rarely run into issues. Keep up the awesome vids!

Not too long and not leaving a viewer with any questions to ask. I rarely find videos like that! My new favorite channel... Haha but I have an 08 duramax and decided to go with the same kit thanks to your videos... gonna add the upper control arms though. Keep up the good work.

    I found this very informing. Thankyou. I am looking at lifting my 95 1500 cheyanne grandpa owned truck that I just bought. I don't want the 6 inch crazy lift, hell I'm a short guy. But the 3 inch, so I can stiffen the suspension, and fit 33's would be great for me. Thanks again!

  • @richarddigrosso1353

    Just did 6 inch lift kit rough country everything went great truck looks nice put half inch spacer upfront to level truck! Only problem is now getting a weird vibration in rear of truck since lifted I believe it’s the cheap shocks they give you in kit

  • @chadhickey9527
    @chadhickey9527 Před 3 lety +5

    Guys you need to buy 2-4” upper control arms along with leveling kits to avoid extreme angles. Sway bar links for 2-4 lift are recommended as well to make it more drivable. I have auto level and don’t want to buy new shocks so to be able to use stock shocks get the spacers for them as well.

I'm putting big heavy trailer up to 6000lbs. Then the truck hang low bad to drive. So I'm go for chackels 1,5 plus 2" block to level my fender whit the ground. Now it's fine. Cheers man. Bjorn

  • @trevorjulian7978
    @trevorjulian7978 Před 5 lety

    Hey man, so I just recently put this same lift on my 07 Silverado, and I found out that Rough country makes upper control arms specifically for 2.5-3.5 and 7 inch lifts that help with the harsh angles. I ordered my a couple days ago and am installing them this weekend, but the reviews I’ve seen seem to make it worth the purchase to help a lot of the problems that are wrong with this lift, if I were you I’d look into them, may help you a little bit. Love your videos bro. Have a good one.

  • @jmwlife2k

  • @ElectricBlueIX
    @ElectricBlueIX Před 6 lety +8

    Most shops HIGHLY recommend the kit that comes with the upper control arms. It corrects the issue with the ball joint angle. Any time I’ve looked at the kit on their website it shows a 3” block for the rear. My previous 08 Sierra had the same lift kit and it was a single 3” block as well. So I’m not sure why your kit came with a smaller block to stack on the existing OEM block. Very odd.

    • @LonestarHawaiian
      @LonestarHawaiian  Před 6 lety +3

      a_a_ronevo9 learned from one of the comments that the 2wd kits come with the block to stack. 4wd kits come with a 3”... very odd indeed. Thanks for watching!

    Upper control arms. Ac delco professional 45O0003 and 45O0004 adjustable camber and caster for lifted trucks. 150 each. Same with rough country. Or go cognito for 5 to 800. The catch is. The rc and cognito kits are larger diameter control arms. They only work in a specific range. If you go with a bigger lift or decide to go back to stock ride height. You have to replace them. The Delco professional is more of a stock control arm with a greater adjustment range. Probably better suited for what you are doing. With more long term flexibility

    • @LonestarHawaiian

      No problem man. Im going through the same with my truck right now. I bit the bullet on Delco professional. I figure the best product for the truck is going to come from the engineers who built the damn thing. And im not paying the premium price of aftermarket. I just went a little bit different than you did. Bilsteins 5100 gave me 1.77 in the front. Rough country body lift gave me another 1.25. 3 in lift all together.

  • @kylemchazlett914
    @kylemchazlett914 Před 6 lety +1

    You should purchase the aftermarket upper control arms to correct the angle. Ive had that lift kit on my truck for a while and it destroyed my front end suspension. Now i need new lower ball joints, new inner and outer tie rod, new sway bar links, and new upper control arms. Ill be putting in the new uppers and everything else this weekend but i would have loved if someone told me all this info before i bought the kit. I guess you get what you pay for.

    Hey fellow Texan, great video. What was that liquid stuff you applied to your truck that made it shiny? Nice truck btw.

      Liquid Venom is what I use. From a detail shop in southern California

    Lol, how many videos can one make about a budget 3” lift. Looks like maybe 8…😶. Rock and roll Island Cowboy 🤙

    Great job, simple way to lift it some. I'm looking for ideas for my 2018 Silverado. I do tow a trailer a lot in the summer, so I don't think I want to level it that much. Did you think of adding a rear leaf and less of a block, and still get the 3½" lift?

      Do an add a leaf and that’ll get you 2” off the bat

    I’d recommend that kit to people with the upper control arms

    Have you replaced the upper control arms yet?

    Love the way your truck sounds what have you done to the exhaust system ?

    It’s worth it just to get the proper lift springs instead of doing any lift blocks I’ve learned the hard way
