Just installed mine, 2018 gmc 4x4 and did it in 2 hours. Thanks for the video and showing us an easier way

Aw man thanx for the video. I was literally about to go do my Tahoe. Decided to watch one more video on how to do it and urs is by far much simpler than the other 3 ive watched.

Thank you so much for taking the time to show this. You have no idea how easy it makes it and helpful to watch someone else do it. Thanks again!!

Thank you sir. I have a kit to go on my 08 Silverado 2 wheel drive and have been dreading taking everything apart. I will try this way this weekend 😁

I just bought a 2wd with the same spacers. Will try this weekend thanks so much!

I did this on my 2008 sierra 4x4 1500. I did not buy this exact kit. The one I got had the steel sleeves inside the bolt holes so it won't crush or split the plastic spacer. Just be sure to get an alignment done after ANY modification. Changes in ride height changes the toe-in. This kit pushes the front bumper up 2". I also added an additional 1" thicker wedge spacer kit and new "U" bolts to the rear. I wanted the rake but needed the additional ground clearance in the front to avoid breaking that lower chin spoiler or air deflector on curbs. With just the leveling kit in front , the truck actually had a squat to it when trailering a heavy load. I added an additional 1" lift in the rear also so it sat level with the trailer hooked up to it. Great video.

If u put a small jack under the lower ball joint and raised it a bit it makes it way easier to get the upper back in.

Great video! When the shop wanted to charge me $250 I said heck no, I've got this video that we'll help me knock this out in a couple hours tops...but you forgot the detail about when the upper a arm won't come loose and when you whack it with the hammer and manage to put a wang in the corner of the rotor (done) or hit some of that wiring that's not quite out of the way (haven't done that yet) or after 3 hours you're ready to throw up your hands and say screw this and put it all back together...

Thanks for the info on the 2 wheel drive !

Thank you man.. I did my 2020 chevy silverado 4x4 same method as you did it worked fine for the most part..

With 2 blown rotator cuffs mine turned into a 2 man job having a guy bring a fork tool to pry up on the ball joint while giving it a whack then after getting the drivers side back is myself while jacking it up with one hand, straightening the assembly with the other and the third hand putting on the nut only to have it spin while trying to tighten it back up. I moved to the passenger side and and even with a bud showing up to operate the jack it was a mutha to get it put back together. Finally used a ratchet strap to pull the upper a arm down into the lower assembly and found doing that it prevented the ball joint from turning where I could get it tightened up. Yay! Being old and broken down adds about 2-3 hours to the process when doing it as the Lone Ranger and without the proper tools. Ouch!

The dripping sweat made me feel like I was doing the work 😂

Works on 4wd also .just point the bolts up

Question,on a 4x4 why can’t you get longer bolts and put them back in the way you took factory ones out?

Very helpful video. I’m trying to uninstall a set on a Sierra 4x4 that I just purchased, thinking I may be able to get by with the 2x4 method for uninstall. Thoughts? Anything I may run into that would make me regret not removing wheel and other assemblies?

Well I thought it would be this easy too on my 2WD. It’s a pain in the butt cause I know the only reason it won’t fit is because I got a 2.5” and it’s huge

Couldn't you just put that bolt in upside down (threads up, bolt head down) like the stock ones are, and then the drive shaft being there is irrelevant?

Great job, thank you.

Did you or anyone have change upper control arm???

Thanks for the video. I will be installing a 2 1/2 lift on my 4WD 2018 Sierra. I did not see you use any washers. Most kits of these type comes washers. I would think that washers would be used for this install.

Do you have to do an alignment after the install? If I’m doing it in a 2wd and not taking anything really apart?

Or you can on bolt the axle on the inside move it to the side put your bolt in then put the axle back in place

Thx man I got one coming gonna do it your way thx

Will it work on a 17' 1500 Denali?

Good video sir,thank you 👍

I'm doing mine today, the torque specs for the lower said 37 NM + 130 degrees. It felt REALLY tight at 90 degrees of rotation past that. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Whatcha 3D printing?

Is it possible to just remove the lower bolts from the strut, then take a jack and compress the strut from the bottom, slip the lift block in, then lower the strut back down on to the block. If so, I do not believe anything needs to be removed accept for the lower strut bolts.

Should be 14ml must be because of the year

Do you think this self install will work on a 2021 Sierra? Thanks!

Great video! Putting a leveling kit in my 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4x4 this weekend. How has your been holding up

Where did u get the kit from?

How ate these holding up? Ive heard bad and good.

Can you just feed the bolts through the bottom of the strut mount and thread the nuts on top instead of removing the wheel and ball joint?

Does this method work with the 4x4 model?

I would go with a lift kit. You'll end up doing it anyway.

Sir, are you willing to trace out the blend door cut you made and sell it to me?

After and before???? 👎👎
