You also had to cut out your bump stops for the upper control arms, that's ridiculous. Kryptonite uppers are made so you don't need to do that and I have more clearance than stock now.
Having the stock keys turned up or aftermarket keys installed increases the spring rate and is always going to ride worse than stock. I think the way to go would be a 4" cognito set at 4 or turned down a bit would ride amazing.
I have a 2024 gmc 2500 at4 6.6 gas. And it's my daily driver. In and out the city with nasty pot holes and roads. would you recommend the option in the or something different
High as a kite to spend that on a level kit. Buy an actual lift kit and turn it down. Will ride wayyyyy nicer than a level kit would ever think about riding. Upper control arms do absolutely zero for the ride quality. Buncha money wasted here. Stiff ass shocks are only gunna make the ride worse. Stiffer isnt better. Control is.
So buying any lift kit and turning it down will ride better than these Fox 2.5? I find it hard to believe and personally don’t agree as I’ve written in this truck vs lifted turned down
@@JWMontoya Guarantee you a zone or bds lift turned down with some bilstien 5100's will ride way better. Angles son, angles. Loosing lots of mechanical advantage having such extreme angles in the control arms which essentially equates to a much stiffer spring rate adding harshness. Shocks are only a minor part of the equation.
makes ZERO sense to level a truck if you are using it as a truck. we haul weight in our bed and it makes little difference in the ride , handling or level of the headlights. as soon as you remove the bed angle your wright capacity is severely diminished unless you don’t mind squatin or blind people with your headlights.
Bro you act like people drive around with stuff in the bed or a trailer every second of their life lol and just wait until you find out theirs a thing Called air bags that helps with squatting. In fact ram has it as a factory option lol come on man it’s 2024 all your reasons for not wanting a level has been resolved.
Bds make a 3 inch level lift that keeps all factory suspension angles along with factory rake. Had on a 2020 and pulled trailers all day with zero difference except better ride. Only differenc was truck was 3 inches taller
@@toddfinn5823 the rear of the truck is always higher from the factory to account for 1000-2000 pounds of weight you may add to the bed or pushing downward on your rear while towing. these angles are engineered to give the best performance under load. PERIOD. any leveling is only for looks and will never be as good as factory for towing and hauling, thats just facts. level if you want but dont think you can still tow the same without messing up the angles and your headlights to oncoming traffic.
@kinggzz it's apparent you know nothing about turning a wrench. For someone who knows what they are doing can adapt from a kit and put everything back into factory specs. Yes there's alot out there simply slap kit on and go but some of us actually know how to raise the rear as well, adjust a headlight which is simple and change a spring pack. But I get it, may sound impossible to someone who never changed a spark plug
It's the beauty of LOFE u don't have to like it, you don't have to understand it. U just roll ur eyes and scroll on by. Trucks are not just used for what you use them for. It's a personal opinion issue and there is no wrong answer. It's all subjective. Some of you think the manufacturer built the best product on the planet. Some of us understand there are companies that fix the flaws in their design. Clearly a lifted truck isn't something your meant to understand. Try riding in one that's been done properly, then comment on them. You may just find yourself being a fan of them. There are many advantages and few disadvantages.
Buy your leveling kit here: jwmotorsportsco.com
You guys definitely take pride in what you do and would make the drive for that.
Have a 2017 Silverado 2500hd I am sold on putting this kit on after watching this video
No grease point on the ball joint? Might as well stay stock. Gonna last the same amount of time
Staying stock doesn’t allow the proper ball joint angle

What happened to kryptonite? I went full kryptonite on my truck after watching your videos. Best decision I’ve ever made.
It’s like Chevy and GMC. both are great products.
they stopped paying him lol
@@Halfsac03 that’s what I said
I have the full kryptonite setup on my 17 Duramax 1 Ton. Awesome!! It to me was a better choice than cognito. No regrets here.
Got a ‘19 limited f250. Best decision I made was going BDS kit with fox coil overs.
Would have looked better with Kryptonite resivore mounts instead of cutting fender liners
i got a red lbz ima start working on its my first truck im 17 and look foward 2 the dully build
Awesome truck at 17 💪 keep it up
@@JWMontoya anything tips? and kinda went with it because of your old white lly
@@technoplayz2264 don’t buy cheap parts. Do it right the first time
@@JWMontoya thanks first mod I was looking at is a edge cts3

I got a 2015 ford f-350 super duty long bed srw wanting to do a full elite leveling kit, just got kryptonite front end work done.

Can you provide the link for the wheel spacers used?
We need a comparison of this kit vs BDS coilover leveing kit. 👍 Almost same price…
Did u guys cut the bump stop? Or perch ?
Nvm I saw that u guys cut that piece thx guys
Was the customer happy with the ride quality ?
Extremely happy
If it cost that much for a leveling kit how much for a true 5-7 lift?
What you do for work je 😂 fire
can i fit toyo mt 35x12.5x18 on a stock chevy 24 2500
yes...
Hell ya nice video thanks for sharing
Thanks, Alex 💪
Content is lacking as of late!!
Busy life! Trying to pick it back up though
Kryptonite > Cognito
