The installations of a 99-06 Silverado 3” Leveling Kit , Step By Step for self installation! Follow these easy steps to install in your own home garage!
You don’t have to use longer shocks but it’s recommended. I’ve also installed many shock absorber extenders. It looks like a drop spindle for the rear of the truck but for the shock
Hello good sir, hoping you can share a bit of advice. Starting off, I had recently installed a similar lift kit to yours. It was a MotoFab 3” for my ‘05 Silverado 1500 2WD. I had also installed Rough country extended shocks to alleviate the pressure. My question is this: did your coil springs touch or almost touch your front shocks when the truck was at rest? My driver side has about 1/4 inch clearance on the inside and my passenger side has about 2mm clearance on the inside. Wondering if you had the same issue and how it’s held up for you. Thanks for the vid too!
@@ChubzTheDrummer702 some but just drove 1750 miles across the country, with about 1000 pounds of cargo in the truck, without issue. If you hate the rattles, spray some oil on the shocks where they may touch the springs.
@@ChubzTheDrummer702 I don’t have all that going on. Gotta ask: did you replace your control arms? Uppers specifically? Can’t comment on if that’s making the noise but I replaced mine with some SPC 2 degree cambered UCAs to specifically avoid that issue. I also only have ~70k miles on the truck. Get a buddy, and have him rock the truck back and forth from the front. It’s not too heavy so it rocks with ease. Get under the truck and touch each part of the suspension as he’s rocking it. The noise will cause noticeable vibrations in the part affected.
Well… I just got to look underneath the truck. Turns out my one shock is rubbing on the spring, and the other shock is broken in half LMFAO !! How did that happen?
@briankotofsky4695 the company that sold it to me did not provide the correct information to match to the truck I just ended up buying a 3 inch lift kit from rough country. These leveling kits are garbage
This was not a good instructional video. The proper wrench sizes should always be used to avoid stripping out bolts and nuts. Did you use a spacer at the top and what size?
Am I going to need an alignment after I install my spacers ?
What exactly did you put in I’m guessing a spacer.
I'm thinking the same! What did you do exactly?
Coil spring spacer!
@@ppa601what brand spacer is it the puck without bolts?
Great video keep them coming
How it works?
I lifted my truck 3in and I put the stock shocks and they broke......
So, do you got new shocks?
I need the 3in shocks links please
Whats the lift kit you used called? I think I ordered the wrong ones.
Thanks, good video
Thanks!! Give us a Subscribe for more!
@@ppa601 i need alignment after that?
Mine is not that easy the lower control arm had to be swung way lower then yours I fought with it for 4.5 hrs and still haven't got it in place
Did it bend the coil out any
Longer shocks? Part links?
Customer ran factory shocks for now! Plans to add 6” in near future
Great video
I didn't see where you placed the Jack stand to move the jack?
Did you put the rubber piece back in
I do not recall if the truck had one when it came in.
why did you take rotor off and not show
Do you have a link to that part?
good video, do you need longer shocks?
Thinking 🤔 install 3” in my 01 1500 2wd
The customer chose to run factory shocks for now! He is planning to add a 6” in the near future !

Just did this to my truck as well and having the same issue.
Does yours make some rattling noise over bumps?

@@jacobf.4884 I just came from a 9hr trip as well, no issues at all, but I still have a noise as if I had coins in the front m

Mines At a shop with the 3" leveling kit right now and theyre saying that the springs have a huge bow in them to where the shocks will hit. Any ideas?
Hey did you ever get a update? Just did that to mine with motofabs and the shock is bent, can't get stock shock in.

do you have link to parts ?
Why not just remove the 2” drop spindles
It looks the same

If you need someone to tell you what size tools to use, then you shouldn't be working on a truck to begin with
Am I going to need an alignment after I install my spacers ?
