Droppin' videos in the middle of the day, I'm going to blame you for being late to work today.

Awesome video Derek, your my favorite mechanic channel on you tube, that's for sure!! Can't wait till a guy finishes that lift, it'll be awesome!!!

Worked on one of these lift kits on a early 80's Ford years ago. Took 2 of us a lot longer to get to where you are now than a day and we only had liquid snacks going starting late afternoon. Big job. Minnesota truck and the rust had a good grip on a lot of it.

I love that you literally Tonya Hardinged your knee with the tow bar using your medium Tonya Harding. I was wondering how long you would up with that thing.

Your jack works so well- my dad has an old one that was like "let 'er down!" and you twist on 'er, a little harder, nothing, then all at once she'd slam from full up to full down. test on the shocks every time you let 'er down

A guy believes this is a really good kit! They always have good quality and built really well! I have installed a couple my self

I put an "RCD" 6" Lift in my 97 Silverado and I only had to cut the front diff mount off then weld a 4" plate back on for strength. That kit was my first, awe 😍. Seemed easy except for the torsion bars. I applied a little heat and then went a swinging my splitting maul like a golf club at the driving range and they had no choice but to exit the control arm. This kit allowed the torsion bars to remain at the stock location and height for an improved ride and handling. It also gave the truck a tighter turning radius, which I really like.

That is so awesome. I had a 1994 Silverado extended cab and I put the same exact six inch lift that you have and are putting on your truck. You will have to modify your Y-pipe if you have the original exhaust on it because the front driveshaft will hit it once you’re done with the lift kit. I started out with the 5.7 and then once I went with the bigger tires I ended up finding a 1994 big block 454 that came out of a 1 ton Dooley that had Throttlebody injection and everything just about plug straight in to the computer and all the wires for the engine and I just shaved a little bit for the fan shroud and I converted it over for the power brakes instead of the vacuum I made it work with the power steering because that’s what was on the Dooley and all the stuff was all ready there. I loved it you sir have an awesome truck. I got rid of my truck about six or seven years ago because I messed up my back when I was younger I fell off the rafters and landed on the concrete floor so then I started working on cars for 20 years and now I’m at the point where I can hardly walk and I’m your age And it sucks whenever I try to do something my back starts hurting so bad I can’t even stand up long enough to make a sandwich and if I do my whole lower back and lags starts stabbing so bad I can’t even see straight, and now all I can do is just sit.But what I like is watching your videos they’re awesome it’s all the same stuff that I like to do I can’t wait to see your truck done that truck is going to be sweet.👍👍👍 I hope that you get it Done before it snows and get some sweet videos from that. 👍👍👍👍
