    Wish we had more young men like this. Very knowledgeable and not getting into trouble, but doing something constructive and teaching everyone with his great video. God bless you.

    Great video young man! Very detailed. I love your idea of marking all your bolts and nuts after torquing them down. Your patience working on cars and trucks is a lesson in itself. Thank you!

    I've seen so many videos where they do not take the time to provide the torque specs. Thank you for a thorough and detailed video that doesn't cause me to go find important information elsewhere.

    AS an old guy who has worked on cars his whole life and done some hard core drag racing, I can always learn something new. Your video is great! very professional and well thought out. I have learned from it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep up the good work!

    Not sure if this will be a problem or not, but you installed the rear shocks upside down, The dust boot is supposed to installed up according to Bilstein.

    • @89dhvac
      @89dhvac 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      This is not correct. According to Bilstein, the label on the shock should be upright and readable when installed. This may result in the boot being at the top or at the bottom depending on the application.

    • @cujo7240
      @cujo7240 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      My mistake, I installed these recently on my truck, and I read the same thing. I've installed many shocks in the past, many of them from Bilstein, and the boot always was on the top.

      Why would Bilstein have you install their product with the logo and letterings upside down 🤦🏽‍♂️? have common sense dude

    • @cujo7240
      @cujo7240 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I've been installing Bilstein shocks in my rigs for more than 25 years, mostly the 4600 series and all those years they were installed with the boots at the top. So my common sense told me that they were still being installed that way.

    • @re1ko
      @re1ko 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @89dhvac But the OEM shock has the boot at the top. Shouldn't the Bilstein boot be installed the same way as the original OEM boot?

    thanks for posting this video I own a 2018 z71 4wd thinking of upgrading the stock strut/shocks.

    • @rockfishgamer1408
      @rockfishgamer1408 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Is there any reason you went with 5100's over the 4600's on all 4 corners?

    • @developmentdivision122
      @developmentdivision122  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Main reason is user bias. I ran some 5100s on my jeep for a couple years and thought they were excellent off road. I don’t have any experience with 4600s, but I believe the 5100s are just a little more heavy duty. The 5100s also have adjustable ride height adjustment, I wanted to open up some options for the truck owner.

    Hi, what model and type are your spacers for lifting the front? And have you seen a big difference in comfort even with your spacers for lifting? THANKS

    • @developmentdivision122
      @developmentdivision122  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Motofab spacers. No difference in ride quality since the spacers don’t interfere with the stock suspension. They simply attach to the top of the shock assembly.

    • @patxx1167
      @patxx1167 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ok thank you but with your new shock on the front have you found a big difference in comfort?

  • @derekwalker7831

    Where can you purchase a new part shown at 28:00? Is that called a spring seat ?

  • @Arotheceb
    @Arotheceb 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Is it rougher after that configuration? I also have the Bilstein set to half and my idea is to leave them stock and set the leveling the same as you, another question: did you have to cut the bump stops?

    • @developmentdivision122
      @developmentdivision122  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Eh, I’d say the ride feels almost the same as stock, if anything a lil more on the comfortable side. I did not cut the bump stops.

  • @kfranklin308
    @kfranklin308 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Did you re-use the bump stop that was inside the front strut spring or did you remove it and not use it?

  • @Je-cm6fc
    @Je-cm6fc 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What do you do when the OEM spring seats are welded onto the shock and cannot remove them?

    • @wn9448
      @wn9448 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They can be pressed off. You'll likely need to take them to a local shop for that.

    Sorry, but he did a lot more work than was needed. Did not have to remove, tie rod or upper control arm or stabilizer pin. WAY to much not needed.

    • @developmentdivision122
      @developmentdivision122  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@waynesperring with stock set up, sure. But with a spacer on top of the front strut assembly, I couldn’t make enough clearance to remove or replace the assembly. Any tips?

  • @andrewisreal5797
    @andrewisreal5797 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Switch the shock they are upside down and will effect ride quality

    • @89dhvac
      @89dhvac 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is incorrect. He installed them correctly according to Bilstein.
