Great install! Glad to see it all sitting pretty and low! Good work Kevin!

The filler necks are not supposed to be painted, clean and tape off.

Ok if I see JB weld, it was to stop a leak? Not sure I would sand it. Maybe remove it and have it welded?

Bendifacation.... 😂. One constant with your vids Kevin is ya gonna learn something and ya gonna laugh. Keep it up brother 😁👍😎

I'm not into lowered trucks. But that does look like a badass machine great job Kevin thanks for showing us the process of changing that suspension. After watching this i would not be intimidated to tear into one of those myself

Almost forgetting is the same as remembering. I need that on a t-shirt 😂

That was a great video....

I don't know if all the OBS trucks are the same, but my 96 are 12mm x 1.5 . I wondered if the shoulders on the nuts were too long and had bottomed out on the hub, but it didn't look like it. I would think you'd be able to see evidence of that. Sasquatch...LOL Speaking of...I'm sure that bolt you found he said something like "I'll never see that again." You ought to save it for him. Nice Packard in the background. Oh, and I think a guy named Murphy was in on that meeting with Einstein and Newton. He was the one that suggested the "thing" should roll, bounce or skid under the dead center of the vehicle or as far under the workbench or cabinet as possible. Nice work on a great suspension. I think I missed the rear suspension. I'll have to go back and check. Have a good one!

I miss that show!!! Welcome back Cotter

I feel I've seen you on something before.

*💥👍🏻💥 One of the Best videos on TH-cam.Thank you for Sharing💥👍🏻💥* I look forward. To hear from youKen

Free tip!! When separating a ball joint or rod end, support the opposite side of the impact area with another hammer or dolly. You’ll be surprised with the effectiveness of this technique.

Yeah, no paint and body guys (nor gals!) were harmed during the suspension installation but the casualties for the suspension guys (and gals!) were significant! No. Not really. I just got all caught up in the excitement... I'm better now... Honest!

How about a name for the high quality satin black paint?

Great job. I am lifting mine a couple inches so this is helpful. Love your channel!

As a woodworker i started nodding when you started talking about adhesion types

There are not a lot of channels that I will watch for more than 30 minutes. You and Derek along with Diesel Creek and scrappy industries are pretty much the only ones. Today Im watching at regular speed just for your metrics. Usually I watch at 2x. 6:19 who put that wheel on? It looks like the only torque spec used was gutentite.

Always happy when I see the notification of a new video. Thanks for the great content.

Great job on using the mistake of the rotor thickness as a teachable moment! You and your content are real and vulnerable - both attributes of a great teacher!! Now for my nitpick. As a former military aircraft maintenance instructor, the use of proper tools is bugging me (why are we using adjustable wrenches?!? 😂). Also the method used for installation of a cotter key is bugging me. Tool usage is pretty cut and dry - use what's available... and I'm just as guilty of it. Everything is a hammer if we try hard enough, right? 😁 As for cotter key installation, there's two ways that people show how to do it, and only one way we taught our students as the proper way when securing a castle nut. That method takes a few more seconds, but it looks better, is more secure, and is even easier to remove. The cotter key needs to fully insert into the castle nut 'grooves', which requires the cotter key head to be installed parallel with the bolt shank. The longer end of the cotter pin is pulled up over the center of the bolt shank and trimmed to terminate in the middle of the bolt shank. The short end is bent down over the nut and trimmed to stop at the bottom of the of the nut. This is how we were taught for aircraft maintenance, which may be overkill for automotive maintenance. Safety wire pliers are awesome at pulling cotter keys. As always, I love the content. Keep up the great work!!

Love the rolls-Royce in the background.

Old pipe fitter trick we called it a flange spreader for piping systems same principle good to see work the metal don’t let it work you😎

Another nice piece of work EXCEPT I couldn't believe you left that broken stud in the hub. What gives?

What about the broken stud?

Not silly reflecting on what you learned from Jim! I learnedore from my bonus grandpa than from anyone else

Great trick of the trade with the all thread and nuts!

Wouldn't it have been better to replace the broken stud prior to installing the rotor?

ok so i work on mobile homes where we had trailer axles and a couple times we had axles that it took a torch to get them free to use and by time when got two the new home location it took a 4 foot steel bar and a socket rachet half inch drive over my years i snap several craftsman rachets and broke a couple sockets but i use craftsman cause lifetime warranty i could get them replaced

The all thd trick is gold. Great vid, I'm glad no paint & body guys where harmed in this tapping too lol

It’s definitely got some Ford body lines.

Comedy time with Kevin. If we can't laugh while working our projects, we will go nuts. Good juju as always!

Crescent Wrench Garage CWG! Bummer on the spindles

Kevin wow!

I was waiting until the end for your comments and you didn't disappoint. At the end of the day or 3 you still have a paint that won't last. Great job and thanks for keeping it real. And by way I have two xjs jaguars.

I'm glad you show your mistakes Kevin, shows you are human like the rest of us. Trucks looking great & I got where ya was going with the "Welcome back Carter" skit lol I'm only 49 .....

Kevin, I really respect the hell out of you. Simply because you don't act like your shit doesn't stink and you show us the mistakes and not just the highlights! I'll forever be a fan of yours. Nice one! 👍 Also, welcome back kotter 😂😂😂!!

I've been doing this as long as you have.... that being said PUT THE ADJUSTABLE WRENCHES IN THE BOTTOM DRAWER WHERE THEY BELONG! Us the correct sized wrench for those nuts so that you don't distort them with a loose wrench. I understand the new rotors and brakes idea, but I would never let a busted stud go either. it's only $2 to fix it and do it right for the next guy. C'mon man, I've looked up to you for many years. Do the job right... you're the one who showed me how.

Haha! Yup I remember that sitcom series. Welcome Back Cottter. Teacher with this students. It was a great show. John Travolta was one of the students as well

Nothing ever really goes together right till you bleed on it a little. We all do dumb stuff, I’ve been in a parking lot, in pouring rain at night with a flash light looking for the three lug nuts that I was Sure I tightened.

Kevin, you should always put the bolts head to the front of the vehicle. If the nut ever came off at least the bolt would still keep the suspension arms in place and wont fall apart on the interstate. Gravity and momentum kinda thing there. It is just good practice if nothing else! Thanks for another great video!

I think someone at a tire shop in the recent past cross threaded those lug nuts with a 2000flb impact and called it good.

There wasa third person in the group at that meeting his name was Mr. Murphy 😂

i was wondering how long would it take if you used your spray guns and booth to do the same or better job

Wow…Sasquatch level tightenification on those lugs.

Hello, Kevin. From West Kelowna. Keep up the great work. 🍻

Lowering trucks needs to end.

Derek just use one hand to put the wheels on

I appreciate your transparency, unfortunately, that disqualifies you from running for political office!

When the wheels show up how about letting us know the complete specs; offset, backspacing, diameter, width etc. Enjoyed the video!

I really like your work

I wonder how many people comment that since you had that rotor off would have been a perfect time to pop out the busted stud and put in a new one unless the new wheel and tire combo that Derek picked needed different studs for it
