- In todays video we install a 4" Rough Country spindle lift on my 1999 Chevy C1500. The install was pretty straight forward with only a few time consuming parts. I would give yourself a full day to do the install at a chill pace. Half a day if you're more knowledgable.
thank god I thought it was gonna get lowered lol
Ikr!
It’s a 2wd. It makes more sense to lower it. Plus it was lowered before he put the spindle lift on.
Bro same I was so worried
@@0311tard lowered would hurt it
@@pepeiann no it wouldn’t
I raised mine the same way but I also did 3 inch pylon blocks in the bed and the cab. I have SMV shocks as well. My tool box is the Trail Boss tool box black.
Lift the rear and get some wheels like Larry used to have the old style with some beefy tires it would look clean as hell man!
Very good content! AND you also have a very good understanding of mechanics. BTW, you stated early on that "you are old". You are not old, you have your entire life ahead of you if you play your cards right! I am old at 63. LoL. Your vid = A+
Do you still have the tractor tires if so put them on when you 6 lug convert it
Just a helpful tip if you ever have to beat on a castle nut like you did on the outer tie rod flip the nut over so the “castle “ part is down bc sometimes if you hit it like you did it’ll bend the castle part and mess up the nut and threads
The OBS would look good with Mickey Thompson bullet holes
I second that
Fuk NO!!
Agreed that's what I have on my truck with 33 inch toyo m/t's
Definitely needs the rear blocks and shackle but love how this build is coming!!! Wish we could find old rust free trucks up here in NH!!
I just put this lift on my 96 obs and I added 1.5 inch add a leafs in the rear with the blocks. Only problem I’m having is I need long body upper control arms to align it properly cause there is an issue with the stock ones.
in my opinion the back sits perfect
Chevy blue I love it I just got a c2500 454 from the vintage year of 94 and I'm so excited keep making vids
Not to nitpick, but it seems like this would be a perfect time to replace bearings and ball joints since you had it all apart, right?
I thought the same thing. These keyed lifts destroy ball joints.
@@lelenbates3367 there's no keys
Please leave it like it is don’t put them rear blocks in! Also I hope your gonna get some spacers for the rear so them wheels are even and lined up! Tires you should get are some mud grapplers
What in the Carolina squattin queer shii are you talking about buddy
I’ve been waiting for this 🔥‼️✅
So far" you and I seem to be the only ones left with a 1999 C/K 1500 Chevrolet pick up 4x4 5.7 350 Z71 same color too. Sunset Gold metallic. I can't find another one anywhere. Nice truck dude.
That's pewter metallic and I have a c2500 long bed 5.7 similar to it
I’ve never clicked faster
You gotta raise the back end , the front end of tht with the lift is 🔥🔥
I love the way he remembers his torque specs. 🤣 Awesome video bro!
Yep, looks good but the squat does have to go, what did the kit sit you back and where did you get it. Thanks and congrats.
I just bought a 4” lift kit but only having the mechanic lift the front, hoping I can clear 33x12.50 in the rear without rubbing at stock height in the back
Don’t raise it leave it 🤩🤩
Just did the rc spindles on my 98 obs, so far love it! It does scrub since i put some wides with 33s tho
Did u have any problems with the brake line length?
@lmfscrew I'm curious how much the 4" lift spindles moved the same wheel and tire combo out? I know you mentioned in a different video installing spacers in the rear to match the front tire track after the spindles moved them out.
What size wheels and tires will fit good?
question for you. I bought the same spindles, haven't received them yet. from the looks of it it looks like the offset has changed with the new lift spindles. In your opinion, did the offset change at all?
Don't be afraid to go full Carolina mode on the OBS. We won't be ashamed. It would make for an interesting build for the channel
Something about the 70s and 80s and 90s gmc and chevys ugh really get a guy 😍
Looks badass bro
Thanks for the video, where did you get the headlights and the ones below ??
Hope you can answer my question.
What size are those wheels ?
I put the same lift kit on my truck and my stock wheels rub on the spindle
Hopefully I can help some comment folks. You don’t need extended brake lines you just need to loosen a brake line holding bracket which gives you that extra brake line but you could benefit from extending brake lines. Another mention is he does not mention how to actually remove the front shock I removed my driver side with a vice grip and a wrench on the right side I didn’t even try to remove the shock and was able to install the spindle no problem.
I think Larry’s wheels would look awesome!!!
How was the driving wad hard to see. Did you have to look over a lot ?
Keep it squatted she lookin good
It's so lit larry and baby squat obs works good with it now
Hey buddy love the videos I just got a super clean 97 z71 probably the nicest original one in my area
I have a quick question brother where do you order your parts from I would love to get the same exact parts what
what did you do for the brake hoses i got the same kit but hoses are to tight and where did you purchase the new brake hoses
What’s a “carter pin” or an 11/8 on the big boy? 😂 asking for a friend….
I love the fact that this video is him literally working on my truck just mines a single cab long bed,I got everything spot on took me a while to find something helpful.I do still have that to issue I took it to get aligned and they couldn’t because my control arms need adjusting but I don’t know how to get that done can anyone tip me on what to mess with?
Leveled, wheels and tires , exhaust
Definitely get the back up nice job
Have the same model, level it up man. Thanks for the vid. I’m looking to do the same.
Very nice. Next one you do can you show the spindles side by side to show the true difference?
He showed them in this video
You know what full Carolina mode this truck , bc honestly leaning a square body looks really good
Let em lean 🚀
What size rims are you rubbing Against the spindle ???
So you didn't put a jack under the lower a arm to support before pulling spindle out?
Just did my 6 lug conversion today love how it turned out
Just get a real 4x4 😂
@@jjmccloud got the truck for a hell of a deal
My RC shocks started to rust in less then 6 months, had to pull them & re coat with paint and wax. Ride is ok.
Put the 420s on the obs with some wides wheels
Why didn't you cut out the bump stock on the lower control arm?
What size wheels are on that truck? 16”? I’ve heard that these spindles won’t work with 15” wheels. Have you tried a 15” wheel on it?
Those are stock 15s.
Looks dope. Are you gonna finish the exhaust out the back? Those GMT400s sound perfect with dual cat backs. I have a clean 97 with true dual straights no cats... loud as sin. Now that I'm older might be just a tad too loud. But love letting the bald eagles fly when I drive it.
Oh yea will for sure put a full exhaust on it
@@lmfscrew looking forward to seeing how she looks when you get her all done up.
So installed these spindles on my 1998 c1500 and put a new front end all the way around and now noone can fix the camber in the alignment. What am I missing?
We need tint now and a whip antenna 🤣💯
Did you do a ball joint flip?
Hello Friend how are you ? I really like your videos, I have a 1998 gmc sierra and I want to raise it 4 inches. and it would be good if you can leave the link of these that you are installing to buy them, well, I already bisque them and those that you have do not come out. I wish you could give me the link I would really appreciate it
Love my 6” kit gonna put rear spacers on to help even yo the track width
@lmfscrew would this setup work on a 1990 c 2500 2wd ??
Have you had any issues with the stock brake line to caliper or the abs sensor wire...?
Can you make a video taking the rear blocks off
Did you have to get different control arms bc of the camber and caster angles
I have the same truck but a 99 C2500. 8 lug. I can’t find a spindle lift anywhere
Would these spindles fit on a 4wd?
1995 Gmc Yukon SLE 4wd?
Earl dont look bad, but i want to see him leveled. What does larry have done to him lift wise?
Dont you think you should replace those tierd ball joints while you in there.
Just did this on my 94. I did control arms rotors tie rodends had to get longer brake lines
Hell yeah.... Looks good. Lift the rear & level that baby out👍
I can't seem to find the 4in lift spindles for a '91 2wd Ext Cab 5 lug
Rough Country makes a 4in spindle lift.. I bought one for my 91 2wd ext.cab
do you have to put spacers on it after on the front of you have the 15x7s? anwser would be very appreciated
It looks so good!! 👍 Lil lean looks good
We’re you able to run stock brake lines
Hey man I’m in process of installing this lift and your video was very helpful. Did you have any issue with the upper control arm hitting the top f the spindle? I’m about to break out the grinder but hoping to avoid if I can.
were you able to fix this problem
Say I did a 6in rc spindle lift and my bearings didn’t fit the spindle did you run into that problem ?
Do you have the link for the lift i want to lift my truck ive got a 98 5.0 silverado 2wd it should work rite ??
When you're swapping the spindles don't u gotta have a Jack under the Lower control arms so coils don't come out or no?
Looks sick man! 🤙
Where did you get it...there is “0” OBS trucks in a 100 mile radius in Ohio
are the UCAs for K1500 and C1500 the same?
Clean ass truck
What site did you purchase from and how much? I've been searching for my C1500 as well
What did you do for the brake lines?
Hey man if you got a chance I have some fitment questions. On an old set up you had.
Lookin like a certified bubba truck 😂😎
Keep than squatted! Looks so good
Thanks for the vid!!!
Carter pins or cotter pins?
Cotter pin
Why are there no 4wd lift spindles s9ld separately like this?
Had an 88.. always wanted to lift it. Lowered it instead cause it was 2wd. Now I drove a brand new ram lifted. Get a ram and make it cool bro
Would this be the same process for 6inch spindles ??
How did you brake hoses work?
With that lift, did you have to get extenders for the brake lines or can you run it with out messing with the brake lines ?
I still don’t know if I need extended ones
Why does Larry with 3’ lift look taller than the obs with 4’ lift ???
be honest, how long did the upper ball joints last?
Hey which spindle kit did you get and where did you order it from?
Love the obs btw I have a 2door regular cab
Do you have the link to the lift kit? I've looked for it and have not been able to find it
Good project! What are the tire size you have on the video?
Hey bro would this kit work for 2500 same year?
