Its nice working on a new truck in a nice warm climate. I rarely experience this in ohio. I get old rusty trucks that i have to let sit in penetrating oil for a week or use a torch

Did you guys put the plastic spacer preload spacer under the isolator on the front strut?

How many inches was the supplied rear block? I heard RC switched the size so you don’t stack it on the factory rear plate that is 1.25”

Awesome video

Really nice, I have the LT 4x4 I got the same inches on mine but i didn’t like the way the front sit still a lil drop. the guys who installed mine told me they couldn’t put the the 3.5 inch on the front due to the arrow being on the way. Not sure how much truth is on that. Anyone with experience ? It really gave it a nice and different look but not too happy with the front it looks stock still and not level

Make video showing 35s, Great job on installation.

Yeah we did not do a before and after measurement, but I believe the differences was anywhere between 2 to 2 1/2, and the lift made the truck front and rear suspension even.

This video is pretty useless as instructions for installing this lift. They left out the most crucial, single most time consuming-and most dangerous- step in the install. The DISASSEMBLY of the struts. You MUST do this to install the preload spacer(s) under the struts, and to do it you need a strut compressor . If there's ANY step in this install that needs 'instruction' it's this step. Gotta love YT videos
