Thank you for the video, I have the same truck and can’t wait to install my kit
theres lots of videos out there on how to do this, yours is for sure the best!
I’m going to make a suggestion... Before that I want to say great job very clear instructions and pretty clean recording. I think after this video even a novice mechanic could install this on their truck. I even appreciated the safety that you covered. As you know every vehicle is different and there are always little tricks that make it easier to reach your goal. My recommendation is that you practice on the other one have it nailed down then shoot your video. I also think it is important to stress a clean and organized work space. Keep it up bro I’m subscribing to your channel. What other upgrades have you done to this truck I’d love to see some others.
Thanks for sharing, nice video.
Just finished an install. I could not get upper ball joint separated. I just removed the CV axle from the differential and removed the steering knuckle. This gave me enough room to do the install. Took about 20 m inutes on passenger side. The drivers side took much longer because I could not get the upper ball joint separated. Just thought I would share in case anyone has same issue. Truck looks perfect with 2 inch front lift.
Just bought a 23’ Silverado exactly like this(all black everything 😍), and I’m in heaven! Traded in a 20’ Ranger I bought in March that turned out to be too small for me. I’m not a mechanic and I’m new to owning a truck. I’m going to take my truck to have a leveling kit installed by a pro. What is a normal rate for this? I know it varies but a range would be helpful so I don’t get nailed. Great content 🔥🔥
Looks good thanks for the video I think I,m going to do it to my truck as well, cause now I know how.
Looks beautiful I have a custom how the gas mileage doing I was think about Lyft my 🙏🏼
What was the reason to add the leveling kit? Adding larger tires? If how large?
Great vid thanks
Cool dude
I have a 2020 Sierra. I forgot to measure before installing my kit but it came out to 37.5 AFTER the install. And 37” in the rear. I just added 1” blocks to the rear of my truck and now I have 37.5” in front and 38.5” in rear. Does anyone know if the Sierra comes lower than the Silverado from factory? My truck is 4wd X31 (z71) package as well. Thinking about swapping my front 2” kit to a 2.5” kit from motofab.
Great video how does it look after it settled out a couple of months later? do you wish you did a 1.5" leveling kit not sure if you toe much? thanks for all the info
Did you also buy a rear block kit?
Do I need to alignment job after this kit installation?
Great video! I was wondering how was the clearance between the axel boot and the strut

Wondering about this as well.may end up doing top strut spacer.have read the shock is really close and even touching on some
Why did the axle nut have to be removed?
Not trying to be a smart ass, but i do this in 10min each side by just prying the bottom of the shock with a pry bar and inserted the leveling block in place. Didnt even have to put a lot of pressure to the shock. Done plenty of trucks that way. No issues.

Can I do that with a 4wd truck
When you took your first measurement the rear fender height was 39 inches. When you showed the measurement chart at the end of the video there was 1/2 inch added to the chart.

Camera angle is different that his.
How thick is the spacer
After installation, do you need to do tire alignment? Your truck just looks perfect, I plan to do the same with mine...

The Manufacturer recommends an alignment but after the install the truck felt nice and I didn’t believe I needed one.
How big of a change did this make to your gas mileage?
I’m so confused I forgot to measure before I did and I keep find videos that say 35 stock and some 37 lol
Can you use AWD with this lift?
Did the ride quality stay the same ??
Nice truck! I have a 2020 silverado rst. O saw your truck was 39" in the back 37 3/4 in front but when you finish you had it at 39 1/2" in back. Mine is 38 1/2" in back and 37 1/4" in front. Adding a 2" level would that make the front way to high? Thanks

I am intrigued listening to you fellas. Now my 19, Silverado LT, 4x4, 1500 measures at 37-1/4 both front and rear. I see all this stuff about leveling it and I’m like. But it’s already level?? But yours sits a bit higher in the back for some reason.

Great video!!! Chevy must have did something different in 2021. My Silverado LT 2wd is 36f and 39r. I like the fact that Sky Lift blocks have a 5 degree taper for the strut angle but you pay for that verses other blocks are not tapered for $40. I’m ready to lessen the rake on mine with a 2” block this weekend.
I have a 2020 trailboss that has 2" factory lift. Would this add another 2" so total of 4" lift???
BEST WAY: It took me 1 hour to do both sides. Don’t take off the tires you don’t need to. Jack up the truck on the frame. Get the wheel off the ground. Pull the two lower bolts under the strut. Undo the sway bar link. The tire and will drop. Put the spacer in. Get a pry bar and put a strap around the strut now put the pry bar in the strap and pull the strut in line and put the bolts in. “DO NOT” put the bolts in from the top side because you don’t need to. Put the bolts in from the bottom up and put the nut on the top. Tighten the two strut bolts and use a bottle jack to raise the A-arm and get the sway bar link back in place.
Have a part # for that kit?
? I installed the same kit on a 2020 GMC DO you here a popping noise when turning at low speeds?

How is the ride quality after install
Do you have a link to the kit?
I saw reviews that the CV axle rubs the lift block on the bottom of the strut. did you see this after the install?

I'd put $20 that if the CV joint is rubbing, the block was installed with the bottom of the U toward the outside. In other words, the block is in backwards. Perfect view of it at 12:15 in this video.
