he likes to tighten stuff fully tight, with an impact before starting the other nuts/bolts. Also didn't start the nuts by hand before hitting them with the 3/8 impact on top of the strut. Great video with a few minor things I would do differntly
Thank you for the great installation instructions video step by step, doing mines today 🎉

How did it sit for you I just bought mine today !!
I did this kit on my 2010 chevy silverado but i felt the rear was an 1" lower so I decided to go with 3" rear block instead of 2" to level the truck
overall great leveling kit, but to include all of the other stock manufacturing parts for the front end, highly recommended to replace tie rods, cv's, A arms, Idler arms, spacers or a drop bracket for the dif, wheel bearings. and like I said, no negative remarks towards this kit, you get what you pay for. for me I've been a plain old stock truck guy myself with no upgrades or aftermarket parts and after upgrading to a newer truck I figured I'd try this kit, does make the truck look a whole lot better than having a racked look.

@k1m3zz yeah I went with 33s. No issues either... if you were to go bigger then 33s, might have to tweak the fenders and plastics for them not to rub.
Dude, it must be slightly different with the torque of the truck but I had problems left and right with a crew cab. Exp: You needed pry the stability bar up, I needed to go down, also you did t talk about how the strut no longer lines up.....that was a huge hassle!

Yea I’m pretty sure spring compressors are necessary when connecting the upper control arm back. My truck just lifts right off the jackstand
Always keep in mind once everything is loose that the Left Nut will tend to hang slightly lower than the Right. 👍

My left nut definitely hangs lower.
I did this lift kit i installe a 2-4” control arm and now am having problems to get the truck alignment correct
I have a question..i put this lift kit. On my truck, after you install this kit did you had any problems with the truck Alignment?
Curious how come you didn’t replace the UCA, aren’t those the steak stamped uca?
I believe this will take it from a 2.5" rake to a 1.5" rake. I'm at 0.5" rake right now (2" level on the front) and I still think it doesn't look quite right. I feel like 5.5" front and 3" back would be perfect.
What is the offset in the wheels and tire size you put in that truck?
Great video, thank you!
How long are the factory bolts that go into the bottom of the strut?
No shims or diff drop? Any rake with this kit?
What wheels ans tires are these the 33” setup? Thanks
Perfect Thanks. Good video

Just to clarify would this also work on 2wd version of this truck
I have a question i have this level but i have a 2in rake in the front why is this?
Dont be afraid to try multiple tire sizes on your truck. The sizes varies a little manufacturer to manufacturer. I am running 35s on my 2018 Silverado that I leveled with the 3 inch kit

I was going to say I’m on a 2015 with a 2” level kit and run 33” KO’s’s no issue. A 3.5” should fit 35’s with no issue. Maybe a tiny cut.

It didn't work on my 2012 silverado 1500 lt 4x4 looks like i have to buy longer upper control arms
I bought a leveling kit for my silverado and it raised the front 3inches. Will i need to take it OFF in order to fit this 3inch leveling kit?

I’m having major issues with my lower control arm not making it up to the ball joint. Any tips?
@AmericanTrucksChevyGMC

Because of the 3-Inches in the front it is a pretty hard angle so we do recommend upper control arms that are angled correctly for that extra height. If you're still having trouble, we recommend trying to loosen up the control arms or even putting the vehicle down with and jacking it up with a floor jack to meet the two.

According to Google max of 3 inches in the front.
Will I need upgraded shocks to? And will there be any control arm issues or ball joint issues?????
what are the drawbacks? more strain on the drivetrain?
@Adman-p4j

the control arms go out of angle a bit but it's not enough to cause much difference. You will notice a change in how your truck goes over bumps (rougher ride). Fuel economy drops the higher you lift it also.
After this mod. Would you be needing to do an alignment? Just wanted to confirm that. Thanks.

So with this 3” lift do u need to upgrade the upper control arm or u can leave the stock one on there

@@predwin87 ok, you need 1 more thing if you haven’t already, get a front differential drop kit, it’s 4 little spacers and longer bolts to lower the front differential, doing this puts your cv axles at a nicer angle to reduce the lift kit stress on them and prolong their life
9:46 look at the right bolt and see how loose it was, hopefully it was tightened again.
Looks like the right amount of height I would like to add to my '14, however, my question is would I need longer rear shocks in order to compensate for the 2" lift blocks? Any insight would be appreciated.

If you don't get longer ones they will most likely go out down the road
I thought you had to change the control arms to keep stress off the ball joints with a 2.5 to 3 inch lift??

I think 3" front n 3" lift rear block will level the truck just right, 2" rear block still has a rake not my style the rake
Does this put much strain on cv's? Would you need to get some dif drop brackets as well?

so, I got the kit, and yes, I'm needing to look into drop brackets or spacers for the dif as well, because I just had my passenger cv go out. and yes, I'm a little late to the feedback because at the time of me getting the leveling kit, I thought of the dif, but was wanting to see how the overall performance was with just the leveling kit.

Not late for me, anything else you would upgrade? I’ve got a 2011 Silverado that a new motor ready for this upgrade. Think of doing Monroe struts and springs. I do remodeling and pull a trailer often.

Technically you are not rasing the rear of the truck 2 inches at all, it will only be 3/4 of an inch! The stock block is already 1.25in, so you have to remove the stock block, and replace it with a 2 inch block, therefore only rasing the truck 3/4 of an inch.

It’s a 3inch rear block. The logic he explained was the stock block already sits 1” so replacing the stick block with the 3” block makes for a total 2” rear lift. He measures the block in the video
I have a 2007 Chevy avalanche and I'm planning on installing a 3 inch lift up front using (2inch extended struts from freedom off-road) and a 1 inch under strut spacer and 2 inch rear spring spacers. Along with aftermarket A arms. Will I need to do anything else besides new a arms up front?
I can tell you right now this can’t fit a 32.8/11.2r17. It rubs the back of the wheel well.
