With the lift kit, what about the CV joints? You can only lift these vehicles something like 3" max because of the CVs.
@builtandraised3 ай бұрын
The axles seem to be doing fine, the boots haven't torn or anything but even i they do I'm not worried about it. And the body went up 6" and the running gear went down 3" so the axle angle is basically the same as a 3" lift. Plus the taller tires pushes the outer axle joint up even more helping to correct the axle angle.

@builtandraised4 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment and concern... but you are wrong. I have been a professional mechanic for about 13 years now. And I did work at a lifted truck shop for a couple years a while back. Every component I used was all high grade american made parts including the bolts. Everything torqued to spec. Also, not the first element to be lifted like this been done plenty of times, HRG sold a kit identical to this for a while. Put about 2000 miles on the vehicle since the lift, put it back on the rack and nothing came loose or broke, alignment hasn't changed at all, and it drives good. And anybody who decides to modify their own personal vehicle is liable for themselves that goes without saying.
@ep3k244 ай бұрын
@@builtandraised 1 Well being a mechanic doesn’t make you qualified to know engineering. 2 An off-road shop that installs parts is different from a shop that builds off-road vehicles. 3 because someone sold something before doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. Most likely why they don’t sell it anymore. This is where we learn something. Distributed loads are forces which are spread out over a length, area, or volume. Most connections on a vehicle are mechanic. The mechanical connections play a connect function between one element and each other. They limit the possibility of movement of the first element than the latter, thus preventing the relative displacement of two adjacent elements. In Conclusion your spacers are way too small. They should be equal to the surface they are connected to. So no, you’re wrong.

V8/V6 Swap it and call it the Hellement. Also, I'm pretty sure these things chew through CV Axles when lifted, but still worth it, it looks sick! How much of an impact on MPG did this have? This thing will already get 25 MPG if you're lucky on the highway.

Haha that would be sick but a lot of work probably going to turbo it in the future, it will go through axles im sure of it but as long as they break while im up on the mountain it wont bother me, and mpg went way down probably like 15 now but i don't commute in it so its not too bad to deal with.

Hrg makes a better 6" kit.
@builtandraised5 ай бұрын
It was basicaly the same thing as their kit but cost me $500 instead of $1700. Strut spacers, 3" spacers for front and rear subframe, trailing arms, and driveshaft. Extended bolts for everything and drops down brackets for o2 sensors and brake lines/cables. Everything i used was made in usa and high quality. Spacers were rated to something like 17000 psi and the bolts were all grade 10.9 custom made in the usa ordered from a local bolt supplier. The HRG kit is definetly easier as everything is all in one kit versus having to source everything from different places. All in all after the lift kit pieces, wheels, and wheel spacers i was in the lift job about $900 but i also didnt pay for tires as they were gifted to me.
