Leveling Kit - Chevy Silverado Trail Boss : Half Idiots Guide

Leveling Kit: amzn.to/3Aro8CX
Mechanic's Gloves: amzn.to/3pOvpI1
We are back on the 2021 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss Overland Pickup truck project. We know what type of overland look and need we're going for but before we get to the cool camping stuff we have to start with the other cool stuff... Lift Kits! Not really a lift kit. Just a leveling kit to get rid of the ol' Chevy front Rake.

You need take out the axel nut to be able to push the axel to clear the one side of the spacer 😉

[@lenny8100]

tore cv boot grease everywhere definitely does level the truck looks great, but beware must change UCA just spend the 650 and do it the right way ready lift 2.0’

[@TEX-704]

1st of all, put that shit on a work bench and not the hood of your truck! Damn man.

[@JamesPotter-zq6ti]

You need upper control arms. Trail boss already has factory lift when add more with out uca its to much lift front end is in to much of a bind.

[@andybates5738]

Lehhhvvelll. That is a small mod that is giving you big returns. Looks great. I think you’ll go with something aggressive. Maybe not an MT but something like a wrangler duratrac? Can’t wait to find out.

[@ChurchieShed]

Are you going to wait on Andy
Bated breath 😛

[@watchmanexpert]

@@ChurchieShed great video ! Question how is the cv axel angle and the control arm upper ? And can you fit 35’s ?

[@ChurchieShed]

The angle isn't terrible. Not like the old days of cranking the torsion bar. We fit 35s with a tiny bit of inner fender trimming. There's a video here on our channel of how we fit the 35s@@watchmanexpert

[@punchingandstealingmovie4022]

Dude. Bro. What's with the Nirvana Nascar look?

[@jordanhannah5839]

Had any issues or popping with adding this kit? Thank you for posting man. I plan on adding it to my 20 Trail boss.

[@ChurchieShed]

Nope not so far. Took it out on the trails a few times and all good. Thanks for watching!

[@colinmikutis6983]

I just put this on my 21 Trail boss with 35s. Have you had any issues not replacing the UCA? Trying to see how urgent that actually is

[@hungryman313]

Following readylift instructions you gotta remove cv shaft nut. Be careful with nut on top side. The clearance between shaft boot and that nut is too close. Lots of guys tearing boots on the forum.

[@ChurchieShed]

I put two extra washers on Bold Head side so the clearance ends up the same as if I put it in the "proper" way. Which I forgot to mention in the video. So good catch Holmes!

[@danieljeffries4029]

Where u get those

[@viktorfrankenstein1240]

What do u use 1.5",2.0"or 2.5"??

[@ChurchieShed]

1.5"

[@Lloydski]

Better swap out that UCA or you will find out the hard way when your wheel pops off. To much stress on the joints, its wearing out joints every time you drive it. I see those pop all the time causing 1000s of dollars damage and just hope it doesn't do it on the highway at 70 mph. Your call just an fyi.... running that on borrowed time right now hope it has not failed yet I see this is old.

[@frankshanks9726]

The trail boss control arms allow for up to 1.5 inches of lift without needing control arms. They are different than a regular Silverado’s control arms.

[@mustangg236]

The link you put on the sight says this doesn't fit a Trail boss.

[@ChurchieShed]

Weird... we'll check the link. Thanks for the heads up!

[@peterg2954]

How did your 4wd auto do with the level? I hear you can use it but there’s bad vibration issues when you engage it

[@ChurchieShed]

So far we haven't had that issue. It's been working fine. And we've taken it offroad on some pretty difficult trails and no vibrations.

[@sdewndr1992]

In the product description, it clearly says this kit does not fit Trail Boss models. Are you sure the kit you linked is correct?

[@ChurchieShed]

Hm. Maybe the link is wrong?🤷🏽‍♂️ it fits.

[@trianjay17]

Same here. It says is not fit to trail boss..

[@mik98911]

What size tires did you go with and is there any rubbing?

[@ChurchieShed]

We went with 35s x 13. They will rub a tiny bit but it's easy to trim. Here's what we did: th-cam.com/video/bBjDoD2HvWI/w-d-xo.html

[@mik98911]

@@ChurchieShed so 295/65/20 shouldn’t be an issue with a 2 in level kit for rubbing?

[@the60yardlinefootballmovie52]

Will it ever see snow? You know? So no?

[@TC-dp3vv]

Did it change the ride quality?

[@ChurchieShed]

Not at all in my opinion.

[@keithcase9762]

What size spacer did you get?

[@ChurchieShed]

1.34 inch. These: amzn.to/3lai2mB

[@WyattBlack-yc4re]

Have you had any issues with the UCA?

[@ChurchieShed]

@@WyattBlack-yc4re Nope!

[@Jesus121208]

you went to 1.5" or 2.5" to level?

[@ChurchieShed]

1.5
