This is one of the best install videos on KZread. I hate when people edit out the struggles the have. It’s a great way for people to learn from. Bravo🎉

I used a ratchet strap to pull the harness upward so I could tighten top bolts… thanks for the vid, helped my install on 24 Silverado

Should be able to get straight to that bolt above the strut by going in from the top under the hood in the engine compartment.

Thanks for posting this, made me feel a whole lot better about paying my installer! ...lol

Yea but shop rent is expensive. Worth it though after 10 years in my home garage on my back.

1 thing struck me, the new rear shocks had no dust covers. with mud and grime the shocks will wear prematurely. 100% greater than normal video. A++++++

Thats kind of back and forth in the 4wheeling world. They can trap moisture, mud and other debris. Some shocks come without them now and have built in dust guards in the housing. It really comes down to a matter of how you feel about them.

Thank you for the video im about to do this myself definitely need to invest in some wratcheting wrenches

That's my truck and the exact lift I'm getting, it's gonna look funny with stock size tires, but I have spacers so they won't be sitting under the truck, they will be 2 inches out

Yes.

Is it of any concern that the U-bolts for the rear passenger blocks were tightened uneven? The forward bolts had considerably more thread exposed. Just curious as I am going to be installing this exact lift soon.

They wont always be even. Are they the same lenghts? Torque specs is your friend here. As long as they are torqued to specs than you should be good to go. If theyre the same but have been stretched from over torque, Id replace them.

I’m about to put the same kit on my 2018 Silverado however the people at Rough Country told me the upper control arms are not necessary ?

@MegaMilesBen

I dont agree with that. Any chevy lifted over 3" will have camber alignment issues without forged arms or arms with adjustable ball joints.

what size tires do you have on that? Thinking about putting 3.5 inch lift on mine, but wonder if 275/60R20 will be too small?

any reason that you didnt remove th rear small angle shim that comes on the truck stock on the leaf spring? I ask some some say remove it others say don't for drive line vibration issues.

This video is before I started listing socket and wrench sizes. Doing these videos is actually a lot of extra work on top of my jobs. Taking the time to write down each individual wrench and socket size added on top of the job, the notes and keeping up with all the aspects of being a one man shop is rather time consuming. Something a lot of people dont think about. I have taken this same suggestion into consideration on my newer videos and have been listing sizes and torque values. Thanks for watching!

@Joe-px7ke I wish I had something that listed every torque on one sheet but I dont. I have to look up each thing. Im an extremely busy person being a small one man shop and single father but if you want to write a list of the torques youll need, Ill see what I can do for you tonight/tomorrow night. Im going a bit above and beyond with offering but maybe itll help others too, so the extra time for me might be worth it.

Dont let looks decieve you. A lot of people make monthly payments for rims and tires. People spoil themselves with their cars, for some its their only escape from the stresses of the world. Im one of them. I have a 2004 Highlander and would fix it up way more if I could afford to.
