In this video I show you step by step how to lower a NBS Silverado or Sierra. The NBS Silverado runs 99-2007 Classic. I try to show you each step of the process from the flip kit to the shocks and springs. If you are looking to lower or drop your silverado or sierra this is the video. Most of this applies to extended cab and regular car as well. This is a Crew cab so if you would like to slam you Silverado or Sierra this is a must watch for how to lower.

Travis when you do mods on a vehicle it's always top-notch. It's one of the reasons your videos are interesting to watch and keep us waiting for the next one. A few months ago I replaced all the front suspension on my 2000 Z71 and it made a world of difference in the ride and handling. ✌
Thank you. I figure if you are going to do it, do it right with the right parts.
Bud!!! I dropped my 05 crew cab Silverado my self watching your videos. I appreciate all your work. And also appreciate you share you’re skills for everybody out there.
Thank you. Glad I could help
I come to your channel to see how things should be done the right away and what correct parts to order big thank you for the content 🙏🏻
I appreciate that
Been waiting on this vid for a while gives me motivation to drop my truck. !!
Do it, I’ve been thinking about it too and I’m gonna drop mine soon🕺
I have had the parts for months and it was making me crazy. Lol
Definitely
Awesome video, very thorough explanation of all the parts installed. No stupid background music and vlog bullshit. Thanks man
Thank you.
Good Thursday evening from here Travis.. I'm just getting home from work and going to have dinner with my wife and tune in to your video 👍
Sounds good. Have a great evening
@@TWAMotorsports good Friday evening Travis.. have a safe weekend out there.. my wife and I will catch your next video on Monday evening when I get home from work 🤙
Thank you Keith. You as well
This is the next thing I'm doing to mine after redoing my headliner with a soundbar. I'm sure this video will save me a lot of time
I love the look
@@TWAMotorsports 100% crewcabs always look good on 4/6 drops
Agree
If you end up finding the front rides a little stiff I would definitely recommend the nitro drop 2 shocks up front, same truck except lowered 2" in the front with 2" drop coils only, and man what it difference it made, the SP shocks have more of that sporty stiff feel and the Nitros have a smoother ride, running a 275/30/24 tires which probably had a role in that as well with the SP shocks
Yeah that tire would not help the ride but probably looks great.
Cheap wheel dollies make sliding the rear axle around on your concrete floor, easy.
Great video
I know. I need a set
Great work Travis, it's going to look sweet lowered!
Thank you. Check it out tomorrow
That weld in notch looks super good! I’ve been wanting to get the bed off mine to weld the Mcgaughys notch I have, in on the back side.
Thank you. Probably not a bad idea
Can't wait to it see it finished
Can't wait to show it. Hopefully Monday nights video
1:40 in "This is a 200K dollar truck..." we all know you meant miles but with your hard work and restoration skills...and the cost of vehicles nowadays by the time you are done it may go for that. Great job as always.
Lol. Yeah. Sometimes I say crap like that on accident.
He said mile not 200k dollar truck
I have the 1/4" drive the 3/8" drive and the 1/2" drive dewalt impact and they are all three very impressive to me !
They are game changers. Lol
If you loosen the gas tank a little you’ll have room to push it over, also it’s plastic so it’ll flex, you can get the bolt on. Then put the bolt in from the outside so you won’t have to do it again. Also bottom bolt for the shackle if you put the hex end off you can install it from the outside so you won’t have to take the hitch off if you need to relive them again
True but I do things differently than most. Like it back together the same way it was before. More work I know.
Damn I got the wrong shocks for the front annoying asf lmao but thanks man did my own drop becuase of you
Glad I could help
If you didnt have the helper bags on the back, what bump stops would you recommend for a 4/6 dropped crew cab? Also did you have any driveshaft rubbing issues? Thanks.
No rubbing on driveshaft with the helper bags. Probaby just use a standard belltech or other bump stop
Great video man can’t wait to see next one
Thank you Daniel. Hopefully Monday night
Check out ihc suspension next time you drop a truck man definitely recommend their kits, rides way better than springs and spindles and no camber
Been there done that. Never again
Found the page recently, phenomenal and helping me greatly with my NBS projects. I know you didn’t install it on your videos, but could you link or indicate what grille this is on this truck?
Stock 2006 and 2007 classic
Love your videos Travis! Always informative and done the right way. Keep it coming.
Thank you very much Scott
Is it best to install lowering kit first and then do the c notch? Or c notch it first?
C notch in my opinion. More room to work
I have a 09 ppv tahoe and need a kit or parts list to lower it. If you already have a video shoot me the link, thanks
I have. Type in how to lower Tahoe
Hey I have brake lines that look like they’re gonna hit on the bed!! Did you relocate some of the lines!?
I didn't
Do you torque everything while it’s in jack stands or after you put weight on the axle!?
You need weight on suspension
When i lower these trucks..on the drivers side rear the front spring bolt by the gastank...loosen it up a little and cut the head off with a sawzaw and put a new bolt in backwards...takes literally 5 mins to pull the spring out...
Probably not a bad idea
Curious as to why you don't to a disk brake conversion for the rear of that truck? I did happen to notice you were running drums.
I need to eventually
Hope you or someone in the comments answer my question do 2006 spindles fit my 08 I already ordered and I’m stressing about them not fitting
Ooooh Travis that was dirty dropping the end on ever body! Lmao!! Can't wait to see wheels and the stance.
Lol. It was. Stance and wheels Monday
Sick bro keep doing these
Thank you. Gonna try.
Did you have any vibration at 70 plus? Mine is 5/7 also. Did you need shim in the driveshaft ?
I didn't
You think a bolt in notch, that’s also welded would be as strong as a weld in notch?
Stronger for sure but not as strong as this one.
Sup Travis, have you experienced your driveshaft rubbing by any chance? I know video is years old. Thanks
No issues at 6 inches in the rear
Very detailed video. Question though, I lowered my 04 extended cab with the DJM 4/6 drop and I find my front end seems to bounce when hitting bumps or potholes on the freeway. Anything I can do to fix this? I have brand new upper and lower control arms, new sway bar end link and struts up front.
Nature of that kit unfortunately. Replace with quality products will fix your issue
@@TWAMotorsports dang I thought DJM suspension was a good company
Some parts are. I'm not a fan of the drop a arms however
Pretty common. I don't like poly bushings in my a arms
Hello, how are you? A few weeks ago, I lowered my truck but it vibrates in the back and I noticed that one side is higher than the other.
Bummer
Hello I have a question, I'm gonna lower my 1995 chevy Tahoe. If I was going with a kit which kit would you suggest? And is 3 inches to much in the front, it is a 4×4 and I want it pretty level, and don't want any issues with stock wheels
I don't use kits and I have also done a drop on one of those on this channel with all parts listed in video description
@TWAMotorsports ok I will check it out thanks! Love the videos
I'm looking for a truck just like this. Crew cab 2 wd cateye. If you don't mind me asking what did you have to give for it and where was it located. Everything around me is outrageously priced. Like 13k and upfor 200k miles.
I paid way less than that. I would sell mine for close to that price. Lol
I have the same flip kit you going to have to get a 2 peace drive shaft it will start to dig little by little till the 1 peace driveshaft is cut in half
That's not true with the helper bags
After replacing almost entire front suspension I can't believe you reused the front hubs those go bad so often
I know. They made zero noise though.
I've been waiting for this lol
Its exciting
Would the driveshaft rub a lot if it’s a 5 inch drop in the back
Mine didn't
I swapped my aluminum drive shaft for the 4inch steel replacement and it's drives sooooo good.. so if you need to definitely get it..
I may do that.
Where did you get 4 inch driveshaft ?
You can get them made
Do you remember what length I’ll need ?
No. You can take your old one for measurements
This is exactly how I build my daily driver Ram
Nothing wrong with that
I live in Missouri , just like you. I need a 6.5 bed 99-06 silver/gray. Same as this truck. Mine is a single cab short bed 2000
That's awesome
@@TWAMotorsports Yeah, but when I got it, the bed was like swiss cheese. The rust was so bad you could see daylight from one side to the other. That is 4 panels. I ended up installing baja style fiberglass bedsides.
At least the new bed won't rust.
Would you ever consider laying it completely out on the ground?
Not for a daily
Will this air bag kit only work and a flip kit ? I installed a 2 inch hangers and 2 in drop shackles and a bolt on c notch.
Generally 5-7" is the range.
Ok thank you. Nice video 👍
Thank you
Hey bro is there a way to lower a 4.3 regular cab short bed, shops told me that they only sell for the v8 cause the 4.3 is to light..
I did on my 4.3. May need to trim front springs a little
Hey did you have any bump steer with the 17” spindles on this truck, I know you said you had it before with them and didn’t have it with the 16” ones.
More than the 16" version but not undriveable
@@TWAMotorsports ok , but you said the 16 version have steering Ratio problem right
@@leecochran5912 no issues with they 16" version other than more work to install
@@TWAMotorsports okay thanks for the reply, I have djm 4” lower control arms on my 2004 Silverado single cab and it has alot bump steer , I have been looking at the bump steer kits you can get to change the angle on the tie end rods that the say will stop the bump steer, just don’t know what will work the best 2” spindles and 2” springs or that kit.
@@leecochran5912 yeah I am not a fan of djm arms.
How much better did this thing ride after all this ?
Will see soon
You ever have a problem with the helper bags bottoming out with big bumps. I put mine on yesterday and now it bottoms out like the bag it to long.
Not at all
@@TWAMotorsports dang ok they truck road good now it bottoms out with 5psi in the bags
That's weird. Maybe if I hit a big bump
You got any web to get a 6/8 drop kit? Like parts
No
I have a 2/4 kit for my 05 crew cab and it came with new cam plates, do I need those or do I just remove the lock out on the factory cam plates like you did? Thanks
I just remove lock outs
@@TWAMotorsports Did you’re truck do good without the 2 degree shim on the rear leaf spring or did you have to reinstall it? My truck had one also and I left it off.
Not sure what you are saying
@@TWAMotorsports I updated my question
It has a little shake at 65ish. One day I may try to reinstall with longer u bolts.
Im just curious how people get a 5 inch drop in the back.
6 inch flip with 1 inch lift shackle.
So if I’ve already done the drop shackles, what’s the next best thing to get a few more inches? I’ve got a crew cab short bed and the hangers are welded….
No ither options than flip kit
@@TWAMotorsports will I have to c-notch if I go flip kit?
Yes
@@TWAMotorsports thank you good sir
You're welcome
Hey Travis I’m wanting to lower my crew cab but I don’t want to go 6” in the back more like a 4” rear drop , what parts would I need , I already have the 2” lowering shackles.
Front hangers
What year is the truck ?
Mine is 2007 Classic
@@TWAMotorsports I was asking the other guy I wanna trying to give him a helpfull preference
I have a 06 Sierra with mcgaughys drop spindles part number 2003T. Would you happen to know the part number for the replacement upper ball joints?
I don't. Always buy a arms
@@TWAMotorsports the ones you have listed on the description are it correct?Thank you for the response.
Yes
@@TWAMotorsports thanks, i appreciate it.
You're welcome
Did you end up having bump steer issues with those 17 in spindles?
Not a crazy amount
Would you go with the 16 in spindles if you were to do it again?
I always do when available
What ball joints did you use?
Moog.
Parts listed in video description
Why couldn’t you run the 20inch rims on that drop?
You can
Do I need a c-notch for a flip kit on my ext cab Sierra 05?
Absolutely you do
Awesome video 🔥🔥
Thank you. More on Monday
I have a 2002 chevy silverado 4x4 1500 my son wants to lower his truck I don't have alot of money how is the cheapest way to lower it and I'm not good with this sort of work pls help
Cheap and good are 2 very different things
@@TWAMotorsports easiest way I guess
If its 4wd torsion keys, spindlea and shocks. Flip kit in the rear.
Why did you not try djm drop kit
Because its not good quality parts in my opinion. Been there done that
What’s the code on the color of your truck. ?
Don't remember. Greystone Metallic. Go to dr color chips website site. Look up 2006 Silverado and that color. Code will be there.
Is that a 4/6 drop
Yep
This is going to make me want to lower my crew cab lol but it's going to have to wait for me😢
It does look so good in my opinion
How much for the wheels and tires you are removing?
Already sold
Nice man 🔥🔥
Thank you
Yo Travis I have a question I have a 2001 ext cab on 18’s currently on a 2/6 drop but I bought some 2 inch lowering springs for the front to to go lower & even everything out I’m using 2 inch drop spindles & drop springs do u think my 18’s will clear
Depends on tire size.
@@TWAMotorsports it’s a 255/55r18 what do u think will it work with that method ?
I use 275/40 20
@@TWAMotorsports I have 18’s that’s why I was asking do u think it will work ?
No idea if that will work. If you find a tire size calculator and put your size and the size I use that should tell you.
I have a 2014 gmc I just purchased you interested in lowering ?
No sir. I don't have time to do the things I have
Does anyone know of a kit for airbags that works with a lowered Silverado 2500hd? That kit in your video description says it’s for a 1500 only. Would it work on a 2500 maybe?
I’m looking to use a djm shackle and hanger kit that drops the back 5 inches. Then a 2 inch lowering spindle and turning my torsion keys down to achieve a 3/5 drop.
I had to drill my holes so I would imagine you could make it work
@@TWAMotorsports thank you for the reply. I will probably go this route
Good luck. Take your time and measure multiple times.
Hey could you please find or give us part number for the driver control arm and ball joint assembly
Its listed in video description
it says sorry couldn’t find page
Might try the link on my green sierra. Same part.
@@TWAMotorsports okay thank you
Part number for the helper bags?
Link in video description
Clean 🔥
Thank you
I can do all this if the truck has 4x4
Not the same way

Trucks go up not down. Dont care if its 2wd or 4x4. Want low by a car. Thats my 2 cents
Yeah it isn't for everyone
You would lift a 2wd truck?🥴
Lol
😂😂
You just waisted a beautiful truck 😢
Yep.
😂😂
